Excerpt from Climatic Control

Seas and Skies in Many Latitudes. The concluding chapter of the book, on Meteorology, is intended for more advanced students. In order not to unduly extend the Size of this chapter I have omitted many matters which will be found discussed in textbooks on meteorology, such as electrical effects like lightning, or the aurora and optical manifestations like the rainbow.

I would urge teachers desirous of further pursuing meteorology as a class subject to teach the subject both from the standpoint of Natural Philosophy and of Natural History, for it is only by endeavouring to understand something of the physical causes under lying weather phenomena, as well as closely observing and recording the phenomena themselves, that the full grandeur of the science of the atmosphere is brought out. My best thanks are due to Dr. H. R. Mill, Director of the British Rainfall Organisation, for his friendly help in revising the entire proof-sheets; to Mr. Edward Heawood, m.a., Librarian to the Royal Geographical Society, for revising the proofs Of Chapter VII and to Professor L. W. Lyde for valuable suggestions as editor of the work. To Dr. H. R. Mill I am also indebted for the loan Of the rainfall map of the British Islands on p. 61.

The temperature map of the world, on p. 33, has been adapted to the requirements Of the book from Buchan's original isothermal charts.
