The Climate of London
The Climate of London, Volume 1, by Luke Howard, is a seminal work in the field of urban climatology. Published in the early 19th century, this book represents one of the first detailed studies of a city's climate. Howard's meticulous observations and analysis provide invaluable insights into the unique weather patterns of London. He examines temperature variations, wind patterns, precipitation levels, and other meteorological phenomena, offering a comprehensive account of the city's atmospheric environment.This volume lays the groundwork for modern climate science and environmental studies. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of meteorology, urban studies, and the long-term impact of human activity on the environment. Howard璽€(TM)s pioneering work remains relevant for understanding how cities influence climate and provides a historical perspective on contemporary climate change concerns.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Our Moon
LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD - NATIONAL BESTSELLER - "A riveting feat of science writing that recasts that most familiar of celestial objects into something eerily extraordinary, pivotal to our history, and awesome in the original sense of the word."--Ed Yong, New York Times bestselling author of An Immense World WINNER OF THE LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK PRIZE - A NEW YORKER AND SMITHSONIAN BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR - A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice Many of us know that the Moon pulls on our oceans, driving the tides, but did you know that it smells like gunpowder? Or that it was essential to the development of science and religion? Acclaimed journalist Rebecca Boyle takes readers on a dazzling tour to reveal the intimate role that our 4.51-billion-year-old companion has played in our biological and cultural evolution. Our Moon's gravity stabilized Earth's orbit--and its climate. It drew nutrients to the surface of the primordial ocean, where they fostered the evolution of complex life. The Moon continues to influence animal migration and reproduction, plants' movements, and, possibly, the flow of the very blood in our veins. While the Sun helped prehistoric hunters and gatherers mark daily time, early civilizations used the phases of the Moon to count months and years, allowing them to plan farther ahead. Mesopotamian priests recorded the Moon's position in order to make predictions, and, in the process, created the earliest known empirical, scientific observations. In Our Moon, Boyle introduces us to ancient astronomers and major figures of the scientific revolution, including Johannes Kepler and his influential lunar science fiction. Our relationship to the Moon changed when Apollo astronauts landed on it in 1969, and it's about to change again. As governments and billionaires aim to turn a profit from its resources, Rebecca Boyle shows us that the Moon belongs to everybody, and nobody at all.
Clouds
As the world becomes more uncertain and life more stressful - with most of us spending the day indoors, staring at a screen -- getting outside and connecting with nature is an easy and affordable way boost our mental and physical health. In this new, collectable series, you will be encouraged to embrace nature and all its wonders. Learn to recognise different bees, clouds, constellations, butterflies, wild flowers, seashells, trees, mushrooms, birds and more. Sometimes it feels like we need to take ourselves far, far away to 'retreat' locations, but actually, when you look, there are many opportunities to experience nature on our doorstep, and these books will encourage you to do just that. Beautifully designed, the 'Guide for the Curious' series of books are small enough to slip into your pocket the next time you venture outside, and are the perfect antidote to endless doomscrolling.
Cosmic Fragments
Looking beyond the well-trodden, celebratory narratives of space exploration and the powerful nostalgia of lunar landings, Cosmic Fragments focuses instead on the moral ambiguities of spaceflight. Beyond the fetishization of machines, men, and manifest destiny and the Cold War tensions of the space race lies a history rife with violence, racial inequity, colonial ambitions, and catastrophe. This volume yields new insights on the crucial role of environmental damage, Indigenous dispossession, population displacements, infrastructural entanglements, and narratives of decline in space exploration situated within larger questions in the history of science, technology, and the environment. Each chapter explores histories of space travel across nations and regions to better understand the destructive power of infrastructure, waste, and exploitative legal regimes at the height of the space age. Drawing from postcolonial science studies, science and technology studies, and anthropology, contributors suggest that phenomena designed to disenfranchise and dislocate, such as the displacement of Indigenous peoples, were deeply imbedded in the coloniality of space travel. By confronting and challenging problematic early accounts rooted in the cultural mores of settler colonialism, Cosmic Fragments offers a fundamental repositioning of the history of spaceflight.
The Shepherd of Banbury's Rules to Judge of the Changes of the Weather, Grounded on Forty Years' Experience
CELESTIAL IMAGES by The Moon Lady -- Doris Fulton
CELESTIAL IMAGES by The Moon Lady, Doris Fulton, is a unique astrophotography book which includes photos of the Moon and deep sky objects such as the Orion Nebula. Of interest, the author is an amateur and did not begin this endeavor until she reached her 60s, retirement age. She eventually procured three telescopes in total, the first of which was bought for her by her late astronomy husband, Ken Fulton, The Light-Hearted Astronomer. She learned how to take these spectacular heavenly photos and download them onto social media platforms. She has taken so many lunar images that she became known as "The Moon Lady". This is not a scientific book but her objective is to demonstrate that astrophotography can be fun and simple. She started out using one 6-inch Orion StarBlast telescope and a hand-held Nikon Coolpix camera held to the eyepiece of the telescope. She has recently extended her lunar interests to deep sky using her Seestar S50. In August of 2024, she actually took a picture of the Comet Tsuchinshan - ATLAS. Always look up.... Happy Trails from The Moon Lady!
