Book Synopsis Theophrastus of Eresus: On Weather Signs by : C.W. Brunschön

Download or read book Theophrastus of Eresus: On Weather Signs written by C.W. Brunschön. This book was released on 2007-03-31. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On Weather Signs, traditionally ascribed to Theophrastus, contains the most complete list of such signs in antiquity and it was, in this or some very similar form, consulted by Aratus, Vergil (in Georgics I), and Pliny the Elder, as well as by many other authors throughout the Byzantine period. This edition is the first to take account of all the manuscripts and the commentary, the first in over a century, is on a far grander scale than earlier ones by Schneider (1818-21) and Wood (1894), listing almost all parallel texts for each sign. The introduction places the work in the context of its genre and for the first time lays out the details of its manuscript tradition.

Book Synopsis Weather Folk-Lore and Local Weather Signs by : Edward B. Garriot

Download or read book Weather Folk-Lore and Local Weather Signs written by Edward B. Garriot. This book was released on 2001-09. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Evening red and morning gray, two sure signs of one fine day." science and folk-lore, with the "science" as a predominating matter let us know How to tell the weather from: clouds, dew, mist, haze, fog, wind, stars, rainbows, rain, hail, birds, animals, insects, fish and plants. The wisdom acquired from our ancestors has been perpetuated in the form of trite sayings or proverbs. Many of these sayings are polished gems of weather lore, others have lost their potency by transfer to foreign lands where dissimilar climatic conditions obtain, and a large proportion have been born of fancy and superstition. This book separates from the mass of available data the true sayings that are applicable to the United States, and combines the material thus collected with reports on local weather signs that have been officially and specially prepared by observers of the United States Weather Bureau.
