The Weather Experiment 2025 pdf epub mobi 电子书
今天的我们在享受着现代化进程带来的无数便利,其中很多都以习以为常的形式呈现,比如天气预报:从长者的生活经验到守候在电视机跟前等候预报员的播报,再到打开手机客户端查看未来一周的天气预报。虽然看起来微不足道,但现代科学意义上的天气预报,实际上也不过一百多年的历...
评分我真的很困惑为什么此书收获如此多的好评与赞誉,冲着豆瓣上这么高的得分来的,结果发现完全读不下去。读不下去,一定是自己走神了,再重读,我真的是认认真真翻了好几遍,至少在菲茨罗伊相关部分做了不少的勾画和标注,结果是我依然读不下去。这写得真的是如小说般精彩?出乎...

By the 1800s, a century of feverish discovery had launched the major branches of science. Physics, chemistry, biology, geology, and astronomy made the natural world explicable through experiment, observation, and categorization. And yet one scientific field remained in its infancy. Despite millennia of observation, mankind still had no understanding of the forces behind the weather. A century after the death of Newton, the laws that governed the heavens were entirely unknown, and weather forecasting was the stuff of folklore and superstition.
Peter Moore's The Weather Experiment is the account of a group of naturalists, engineers, and artists who conquered the elements. It describes their travels and experiments, their breakthroughs and bankruptcies, with picaresque vigor. It takes readers from Irish bogs to a thunderstorm in Guanabara Bay to the basket of a hydrogen balloon 8,500 feet over Paris. And it captures the particular bent of mind--combining the Romantic love of Nature and the Enlightenment love of Reason--that allowed humanity to finally decipher the skies.
