Pashby L: Chasing Fog / B

Chasing Fog

Finding Enchantment in a Cloud

Mizzle. Dreich. Raining knives and forks. A real mugga-fisty. A spot of plother... We Brits love talking about the weather. So much so that our islands have hundreds of words and phrases for rain, some self-explanatory and others that really leave us scratching our heads. From a light smirr in Aberdeen to a "it''s raining knives and forks!" in the Brecon Beacons, each type of rain tells a story about the people and places it falls on. In this delightfully damp tour of the British Isles, writer and puddle-splasher Alan Connor digs deep into the meaning and quirky histories of over one hundred words for precipitation. He gets caught in a plash in Northumberland, crashes a fox''s wedding in Devon and ponders the phenomenon of Brits-who-picnic-in-the-car, in this charming and witty celebration of our very British obsession.

Maritime Climate Change

Climate Change and Geodynamics in Polar Regions covers most of the scientific aspects of geoscientific investigation undertaken by Indian researchers in the Polar Regions: Antarctic, Arctic, and Himalayan regions.

Climate Change and Geodynamics in Polar Regions

"The mystery of clouds has captivated scientists and artists alike. This unique book shows you how to use the meteorological techniques of nephology to identify these elusive and transmutable shapes. It curates, classifies, and measures every species-including those recently discovered-considering the height, size, texture, arrangement, modifications, and movement of their many shifting forms. Clouds blends a lively and engaging narrative by one of today's leading meteorologists with an essay on historic cloud art, and includes a wealth of breathtaking cloud studies by some of the greatest artists ever to look skyward"--

This is the first book to provide a comprehensive overview of climate change-related investigations carried out by Indian researchers through initiatives in southern high latitude regions.

Little Books of Nature

Packed with surprising facts, this delightful and gorgeously designed book will beguile anyone who is curious about weather. Expertly written and beautifully illustrated throughout with color photographs and original color artwork, The Little Book of Weather is an accessible and enjoyable mini-reference about the world's weather, with examples drawn from across the globe. It fits an astonishing amount of information in a small package, covering a wide range of topics--from weather forecasting and extreme events such as hurricanes and typhoons to the future of weather with climate change. It also includes curious facts, myths, and history--from whether animals can predict the weather to the bad weather that helped doom Napoleon and Hitler's invasions of Russia and the Soviet Union. The result is an irresistible guide to the amazing world of weather.

The Little Book of Weather

Historical Catastrophe Studies / Historische Katastrophenforschung

In the summer of 1783, an unusual dry fog descended upon large parts of the northern hemisphere. The fog brought with it bloodred sunsets, a foul sulfuric odor, and a host of other peculiar weather events. Inspired by the Enlightenment, many naturalists attempted to find reasonable explanations for these occurrences. 
 Between 8 June 1783 and 7 February 1784, a 27-kilometer-long fissure volcano erupted in the Icelandic highlands. It produced the largest volume of lava released by any volcanic eruption on planet Earth in the last millennium. In Iceland, the eruption led to the death of one-fifth of the population. The jetstream carried its volcanic gases further afield to Europe and beyond, where they settled as a fog, the origin of which puzzled naturalists and laypersons. 
 "A Mist Connection" is an environmental history that documents the Laki eruption and its consequences for Iceland and the wider world. The book combines methods of historical disaster research, climate history, global history, history of science, and geology in an interdisciplinary approach. 
 Icelandic flood lava eruptions of this scale have a statistical recurrence period of 200 to 500 years; it is crucial to understand their nature so that we can prepare for the next one. An eruption of this magnitude would surely be disastrous for our modern, globalized, and interconnected world.

An Environmental History of the Laki Eruption of 1783 and Its Legacy

A Mist Connection

Die Erde heizt sich auf. Sie tut dies in beispielloser Geschwindigkeit. Nicht wenige verfallen als Folge in Fatalismus, doch es gibt Hoffnung: Ohne zu beschönigen, versammelt Bernhard Kegel alle technischen und biologischen Möglichkeiten, um diese katastrophale Entwicklung zu stoppen. Denn es wird nicht reichen, unseren Ausstoß an Treibhausgasen zu reduzieren oder sogar einzustellen. Wir können die schlimmsten Auswirkungen nur dann abwenden, wenn wir der Erdatmosphäre zusätzlich in großen Mengen CO2 entziehen und in irgendeiner Weise klimaunwirksam lagern.
Genau das leistet die Fotosynthese. Das Spektrum möglicher Maßnahmen ist groß und reicht von der Revitalisierung der Moore über die Optimierung der Fotosynthese von Nutzpflanzen und das Bauen mit Holz bis hin zum künstlichen Blatt als Wasserstoff- und Energielieferant. Licht und Fotosynthese haben höheres Leben möglich gemacht und geformt, jetzt könnten sie helfen, es vor einer seiner schwersten Krisen zu bewahren.

Extreme Weather and Climate Change

With humor, easy-to-understand language, and fun illustrations, marine scientist Ellen Prager and meteorologist Dave Jones use frequently asked and zany questions about the ocean and atmosphere to combat misinformation and make science engaging and understandable for all.

The comprehensive pocket guide

Reeds Weather Handbook 3rd edition

Everyone has an interest in the weather, whether it's to check the prospects for a day out or to know when best to harvest a crop. The Earth's weather systems also provide some of the most dramatic forces of nature, from the vast release of energy in a lightning flash to the devastating impact of tornadoes and hurricanes. For centuries, our only real guide to future weather was folklore, but with the introduction of the first weather forecasts and maps in Victorian times, attempts were made to give some warning of the weather to come. Until relatively recently, these forecasts could be wildly inaccurate - think of Michael Fish's denial that there was a storm on the way the night before the UK's great storm of 1987. This was due to the mathematically chaotic nature of weather systems, first discovered in the 1960s, understanding of which would transform forecasting from the 1990s and mean that meteorologists became amongst the foremost users of supercomputers.
