This vintage book contains Matthew Fontaine Maury's 1874 treatise, "The Physical Geography of the Sea, and Its Meteorology". It is a fascinating and insightful monograph that explores the contemporary knowledge and understanding of the oceans. Highly recommended for those with an interest in the development of scientific knowledge in this area, "The Physical Geography of the Sea, and Its Meteorology" would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "The Sea and the Atmosphere", "The Gulf Stream", "Influence of the Gulf Stream upon Climate and Commerce", "The Atmosphere", "Rains and Rivers", "Red Frogs and Sea Breezes", "The Easting of the Trade-Winds, The Crossing at the Calm Belts, and the Magnetism of the Atmosphere", etcetera. Many antiquarian texts such as this, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are increasingly hard to come by and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
