According to AI: "[The] image shows a portrait of John Tyndall, a prominent 19th-century Irish physicist and mountaineer, taken around 1872 by the photography studio Elliott & Fry." But it hasn't the card backup and printed description and ascription of the Elliott & Fry issue. And has nothing to indicate that it ever had that feature.…

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. WELLS, Charles."An Essay on Dew, etc. Essai sur la rosee et sur divers phenomenes en rapport avec elle." In: Bibliotheque Britannique, ou Recuell extrait des Ouvrages Anglais periodiques et autres." Geneva, Imp. De la Bibliotheque Britannique, 1815, vol 58. Science et Arts, 1815. 384pp. Paper-covered boards and spine. [++] The Wells work appears in full on pp 23-40, 97-111, 193-205, 289-305. [++] There is a little wear and rubbing to the boards, though overall the binding is quite nice, VERY GOOD. The text is very crisp and bright. VG copy overall, if not better. This is the first French translation of Wells' classic work of 1814, and is the work's first appearance on the continent. [++] ".in essence, Wells is outlining a surface heat budget a more-or-less comprehensive accounting of the energy flowing to and from the earth s surface. This, too, would be a vexed matter in the global warming debate of the early 21st century.This, though Wells certainly could not have dreamed it, is actually an important part of the mechanism of the greenhouse effect: when greenhouse gases increase, they shorten the average length that radiant heat can travel through the atmosphere before being absorbed. Therefore, the average altitude from which heat can radiate to space increases. But since higher altitudes imply colder air, and since colder air is a less effective radiator, heat loss to space is slowed. "--"Global Warming Science In The Age Of Washington And Jefferson: William Charles Wells" on WebHub. [++] "It would take too much space to follow all of  Wells' ingenious experiments, but his conclusions can be stated. The cooling of the Earth's surface, and of the bodies that accumulate  dew, is the result of radiation to space. This radiation is always  going on, but can be largely interrupted by clouds; and in the daytime  it is overbalanced by the radiation to the Earth from the Sun"--(Middleton, W.E.K., A History of the Theories of Rain and other Forms of Precipitation, 1966, p. 189) [++] "Wells' researches on the subject were of major importance in the development of the science of ventilation, particularly in its relation to relative humidity and the influence of the latter on the comfort of the occupants of factories, ships, theatres, etc. Wells was physician to St. Thomas's Hospital, London, from 1800 until his death"--Garrison-Morton 1604. [++] Wells' paper would be widely recognized and his research accepted, an effort for which Wells was awarded the Royal Society's fifth Rumford Medal.…

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. FOOTE, (Eunice Newton) Abstract of her revolutionary but unrecognized work later referred to as "The Greenhouse Effect" at an AAAS meeting in Albany and published in 1856, appearing here in the "Jahresbericht Über die Fortschritte der reinen, pharmaceutischen und technischen Chemie, Physik, Mineralogie und Geologie" edited by Justus Liebig and Hermann Kopp. Giessen, J. Ricker'sche Buchhandlug, published in 1857; 957pp on, with the Foote on page 62-3 in a section titled "Wärmelehre." Foote was the first to measure the Greenhouse Effects of water vapor and CO2, writing that temperatures in the past could have been affected by the changes in CO2 levels. [++] Decorated paper spine and boards. There are four old ownership rubberstamps: once on the front free endpapers, two on the title page, and the last on the following page. GOOD/VG copy, sturdy, crisp text; there's a bit of scuffing to the spine, showing some age of the book, but, still attractive. [++] Eunice (Newton) Foote (1819-1888) was an American scientist, inventor, and women's rights campaigner (see Richardson, Sarah, "Suffragist Scientist", "American History," 2/2020) who made an important discovery that was historically and not surprisingly underappreciated and undervalued (see "Eunice Newton Foote's nearly forgotten discovery" 2021, "Physics Today", Vol. 2021, Issue 4, p. 823). In her research she established a pioneering understanding of the Earth's climate and the role greenhouse gases in global warming. In 1856 Foote ("the first woman in climate science", see "TIME", "Where Credit is Due," 194/4, 2019, pg 20) presented her experimental findings on the effects of different gases on the Earth's temperature--most significantly on the heat-absorbing properties of CO2 and its warming effect on the Earth's atmosphere--at the AAAS meeting in Albany, New York. She was the first scientist to conclude that certain gases warmed when exposed to sunlight, and that rising carbon dioxide levels would change atmospheric temperature and could affect climate, a phenomenon now referred to as the Greenhouse Effect. [++] "Eunice Foote, who in 1856 discovered the absorption of thermal radiation by carbon dioxide and water vapour. That was three years before John Tyndall, who is generally credited with this important discovery a cornerstone of our current understanding of the greenhouse effect, climate change, weather and meteorology."--Roland Jackson, "Eunice Foote, John Tyndall and a Question of Priority in Notes and Records," (2020), 74, 105-118. [++] The first presentation of the Foote paper at the AAAS meeting (read/presented by Joseph Henry) appeared over a page-and-a-half in the November 1856 issue of "The American Journal of Science and Arts" after having been read to the meeting on Aug. 23, 1856. The work offered is a summary of that November 1856 paper which was published just a few short months later.

(Paris, Crochard, 1824). Without wrappers. In: "Annales de Chimie et de Physique, Par MM. Gay-Lussac et Arago.", tome 27, Cahier 3. Pp. 225-336. (Entire issue offered). Fourier's paper: pp. 236-281. First printing of this importent paper dealing with the "Green-House-Effect". It is the second paper from 1824 in which Fourier investigates the connection between the temperature of the earth and radiation. Fourier's analysis in these two papers is widely recognized as the first proposal of what is now known as the greenhouse effect theory.In the 1820s Fourier calculated that an object the size of the Earth and at its distance from the Sun should be considerably colder than the planet actually is if warmed only by the effects of incoming solar radiation. He examined various possible sources of the additional observed heat in articles published in 1824 (the paper offered is the second of the papers published 1824) and 1827. While he ultimately suggested that interstellar radiation might be responsible for a large portion of the additional warmth, Fourier's consideration of the possibility that the Earth's atmosphere might act as an insulator of some kind is widely recognized as the first proposal of what is now known as the greenhouse effect theory.…
