Weather Lore Volume I: A Collection of Proverbs, Sayings and Rules Concerning the Weather – Weather in General - Tapa dura
Sinopsis
The state of the weather is almost the first topic of conversation when people meet, which is not surprising when it is a matter of such importance to our well being, health, prosperity, and even to life itself.
Accurate weather predictions have always been an important human ambition and one that for some could ensure their success or failure. The result has been the framing of a rough set of rules about the weather. Some of these observations have become proverbs; others have taken the shape of rhymes; while many have been passed down by word of mouth, as mere records of facts.

Acerca del autor
Richard Inwards was born in 1840, and lived a fascinating life traveling the world in his capacity as a manager of international mining projects. From Norway to Bolivia, meteorological studies remained his main interest, and after settling in England he became joint editor of the Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society. He became president of the society in 1894, following Weather Lore's publication the previous year.
