Weather, Climate, and the Geographical Imagination by Martin Mahony,Samuel Randalls Pdf

As global temperatures rise under the forcing hand of humanity’s greenhouse gas emissions, new questions are being asked of how societies make sense of their weather, of the cultural values, which are afforded to climate, and of how environmental futures are imagined, feared, predicted, and remade. Weather, Climate, and Geographical Imagination contributes to this conversation by bringing together a range of voices from history of science, historical geography, and environmental history, each speaking to a set of questions about the role of space and place in the production, circulation, reception, and application of knowledges about weather and climate. The volume develops the concept of “geographical imagination” to address the intersecting forces of scientific knowledge, cultural politics, bodily experience, and spatial imaginaries, which shape the history of knowledges about climate.

Weather, Climate, Culture by Sarah Strauss,Benjamin S. Orlove Pdf

Throughout history, the weather has been both feared and revered for its powerful influence over living creatures. Not only does it control our moods, activities, and fashions, but it has also played a crucial role in broader issues of cultural ident ity, concepts of time, and economic development. In fact, the weather has become so ingrained in our everyday routines that many of us forget just how profoundly this omnipotent force shapes culture. With the continuing rise in global warming and co nsequential change in weather patterns, our awareness and understanding of this topic has never be.

A Comprehensive Study of Meteorology and Climatology by Frank Philemon Pdf

"A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY OF METEOROLOGY AND CLIMATOLOGY" The atmosphere is a complex medium, and its mechanism and process are sometimes very complicated. Its nature however is generally expressed in terms of only a few variables, which are measurable. The data thus recorded provides the raw materials for understanding both temporary (weather) and long term (climate) atmospheric conditions. The variables can be through of as the elements of weather and climate. The most important are: temperature content, pressure and wind. These are the basic ingredients of weather and climate. Measuring how they vary in time and space makes it possible to decipher at least partly the complexities of weather dynamics and climatic patterns. Variation in the climatic elements is frequent, if not continuous over Earth. Such variations are caused by, or at least strongly influenced by certain semi permanent attributes of our planet, which are often referred to as controls. The physical conditions and processes are constantly taking place in the atmosphere and they are subjected to periodic changes over time. The atmosphere reacts by producing an infinitive variety of conditions and phenomena known as collectively as weather. It is the sum of temperature, humidity, cloudiness, precipitation, pressure, winds, storms and other atmospheric variables for a short period of time. "A Comprehensive Study of Meteorology and Climatology" is the book which is specially developed through maximization of simplification of basic concepts and aspects of weather and climate for bringing clear understanding to the readers. This makes its content easily accessible to all geographers (meteorologists, climatologists) and students in all levels; secondary schools, high schools, colleges and universities. This book has been written with the strong aim of helping geographers and alike in getting in-depth understanding and improving their knowledge and skills in all issues of Meteorology and Climatology. FRANK PHILEMON (Mwl.) is an educator and teacher (Mwalimu) of geography subject at Ministry of Education and Vocational Training (MoEVT) in Tanzania. He is also the author of other three bestselling books - Secret of Success in Entrepreneurship, Human population and Development and Human and Economic Geography. The author is confident that this book will be an invaluable asset for schools, colleges and universities and that students as well as teachers and lecturers will find it useful in making the teaching and learning process easier, pleasant and more fruitful.
