Omschrijving

""The Progress of the Development of the Law of Storms, and of the Variable Winds: With the Practical Application of the Subject to Navigation"" is a book written by William Reid in 1849. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the law of storms and variable winds, with a particular focus on how these phenomena affect navigation. Reid's book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a specific aspect of the law of storms and variable winds. The first chapter introduces the topic and provides a brief overview of the history of the study of storms and winds. The second chapter focuses on the laws that govern the movement of the atmosphere and the formation of storms. The third chapter explores the practical application of the subject to navigation, discussing the different types of storms and winds that sailors may encounter at sea. Reid provides a detailed analysis of the best methods for navigating through storms and dealing with the variable winds that often accompany them. The remaining chapters of the book delve deeper into the science behind storms and winds, discussing topics such as the dynamics of atmospheric pressure, the role of temperature in the formation of storms, and the effects of the Earth's rotation on wind patterns. Overall, ""The Progress of the Development of the Law of Storms, and of the Variable Winds"" is a comprehensive guide to the science of storms and winds, with a practical focus on how this knowledge can be applied to navigation. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the early development of meteorology and its impact on the world of sailing and navigation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
