Rain: A Natural and Cultural History Rain, elemental and mysterious, has been the subject of countless poems and paintings throughout history. It is the source of the world's water, yet this is the first book to tell its story. Cynthia Barnett's Rain begins four billion years ago with the torrents that filled the oceans and builds to the storms of climate change. It weaves together science, the true shape of a raindrop, and the human story of our ambition to control rain, from ancient rain dances to the 2203 miles of levees that attempt to straitjacket the Mississippi River. The book offers a glimpse into the founding forecasters, such as Thomas Jefferson, who measured every drizzle long before modern meteorology. Two centuries later, rainy skies would inspire Morrissey's mopes and Kurt Cobain's grunge. Rain is also a travelogue, taking readers to Scotland to tell the surprising story of the macintosh raincoat and to India where villagers extract the scent of rain from the monsoon-drenched earth and turn it into perfume.
Rain: A Natural and Cultural History Rain, elemental and mysterious, был предметом бесчисленных стихов и картин на протяжении всей истории. Это источник воды в мире, но это первая книга, которая рассказывает свою историю. «Дождь» Синтии Барнетт начинается четыре миллиарда лет назад с течений, которые заполнили океаны и строят под штормы изменения климата. Он объединяет науку, истинную форму капли дождя и человеческую историю наших амбиций по борьбе с дождем, от древних дождевых танцев до 2203 миль дамб, которые пытаются смирить реку Миссисипи. Книга предлагает взглянуть на прогнозистов-основателей, таких как Томас Джефферсон, который измерял каждую морось задолго до современной метеорологии. Спустя два столетия дождливое небо вдохновит мопсов Моррисси и гранж Курта Кобейна. Rain - это еще и травелог, доставляющий читателей в Шотландию, чтобы рассказать удивительную историю плаща макинтош, и в Индию, где жители деревни извлекают аромат дождя из залитой муссонами земли и превращают его в духи.
Rain : A Natural and Cultural History Rain, elemental and mysterious, a fait l'objet d'innombrables poèmes et peintures tout au long de l'histoire. C'est la source d'eau du monde, mais c'est le premier livre à raconter son histoire. La « pluie » de Cynthia Barnett a commencé il y a quatre milliards d'années avec les courants qui remplissaient les océans et construisaient sous les tempêtes du changement climatique. Il combine la science, la vraie forme de la goutte de pluie et l'histoire humaine de nos ambitions de lutte contre la pluie, des danses de pluie antiques aux 2203 milles de barrages qui tentent d'humilier le fleuve Mississippi. livre propose de regarder les prévisionnistes fondateurs comme Thomas Jefferson, qui mesurait chaque froid bien avant la météorologie moderne. Deux siècles plus tard, le ciel pluvieux inspirera les mops de Morrissey et le grunge de Kurt Cobain. Rain est aussi un travelog qui emmène les lecteurs en Écosse pour raconter l'histoire étonnante du manteau macintosh, et en Inde, où les villageois tirent le parfum de la pluie de la terre inondée de moussons et le transforment en parfum.

Dos siglos más tarde, el cielo lluvioso inspirará los mopses de Morrissey y el grunge de Kurt Cobain. Rain es también un travelista que lleva a los lectores a Escocia para contar la sorprendente historia de la capa de Mackintosh, y a la India, donde los aldeanos extraen el aroma de la lluvia de la tierra zalada por los monzones y la convierten en perfume.
A Naturale e Culturale History Rain, elementare e misterious, è stato oggetto di innumerevoli poesie e dipinti nel corso della storia. È la fonte d'acqua del mondo, ma è il primo libro a raccontare la sua storia. La «pioggia» di Cynthia Barnett inizia quattro miliardi di anni fa con correnti che riempiono gli oceani e costruiscono tempeste di cambiamento climatico. Unisce la scienza, la vera forma di una goccia di pioggia e la storia umana delle nostre ambizioni di lotta contro la pioggia, dalle antiche danze piovane alle 2203 miglia di dighe che cercano di umiliare il fiume Mississippi. Il libro offre uno sguardo ai progettisti fondatori, come Thomas Jefferson, che misurava ogni gelata molto prima della meteorologia moderna. Due secoli dopo, il cielo piovoso ispirerà i ciclomotori di Morrissey e il grunge di Kurt Cobain. Rain è anche un erborista che porta i lettori in Scozia per raccontare la straordinaria storia del mantello macintosh, e in India, dove gli abitanti del villaggio estraggono il profumo della pioggia dalla terra piena di monsoni e la trasformano in profumo.
Regen: Eine Natur- und Kulturgeschichte Regen, elementar und geheimnisvoll, war im Laufe der Geschichte Gegenstand unzähliger Gedichte und Gemälde. Es ist die Wasserquelle der Welt, aber es ist das erste Buch, das seine Geschichte erzählt. Cynthia Barnetts „Regen“ beginnt vor vier Milliarden Jahren mit Strömungen, die die Ozeane gefüllt haben und unter den Stürmen des Klimawandels bauen. Es vereint die Wissenschaft, die wahre Form eines Regentropfens und die menschliche Geschichte unserer Regenbekämpfungsambitionen, von den alten Regentänzen bis zu den 2203 Meilen Deichen, die versuchen, den Mississippi zu demütigen. Das Buch bietet einen Blick auf die Gründungsvorhersagen wie Thomas Jefferson, der lange vor der modernen Meteorologie jeden Nieselregen gemessen hat. Zwei Jahrhunderte später wird der regnerische Himmel Morrisseys Möpse und Kurt Cobains Grunge inspirieren. Rain ist auch ein Reisebericht, der die ser nach Schottland bringt, um die erstaunliche Geschichte des Macintosh-Regenmantels zu erzählen, und nach Indien, wo die Dorfbewohner den Duft des Regens aus dem monsungetränkten Land extrahieren und in Parfüm verwandeln.

Yağmur: Doğal ve Kültürel Bir Tarih Temel ve gizemli yağmur, tarih boyunca sayısız şiir ve resme konu olmuştur. Dünyanın suyunun kaynağıdır, ancak hikayesini anlatan ilk kitaptır. Cynthia Barnett'in "yağmuru" dört milyar yıl önce okyanusları dolduran ve iklim değişikliğinin fırtınaları altında gelişen akıntılarla başlıyor. Bilimi, yağmur damlasının gerçek şeklini ve yağmurla mücadele tutkularımızın insanlık tarihini, eski yağmur danslarından Mississippi Nehri'ni alçakgönüllü yapmaya çalışan 2,203 mil setlerine kadar bir araya getiriyor. Kitap, modern meteorolojiden çok önce her çiselemeyi ölçen Thomas Jefferson gibi kurucu tahmincilere bir bakış sunuyor. İki yüzyıl sonra, yağmurlu gökyüzü Morrissey'in puglarına ve Kurt Cobain'in grunge'ına ilham verecek. Yağmur aynı zamanda, mackintosh pelerininin şaşırtıcı hikayesini anlatmak için okuyucuları İskoçya'ya ve köylülerin muson sırılsıklam topraklardan yağmur aromasını çıkardığı ve parfüme dönüştürdüğü Hindistan'a götüren bir seyahat kitabıdır.
المطر: مطر تاريخ طبيعي وثقافي، عنصر وغامض، كان موضوع قصائد ولوحات لا حصر لها عبر التاريخ. إنه مصدر مياه العالم، لكنه أول كتاب يروي قصته. يبدأ «مطر» سينثيا بارنيت قبل أربعة مليارات سنة بتيارات ملأت المحيطات وتتزايد تحت عواصف تغير المناخ. إنه يجمع بين العلم والشكل الحقيقي لقطرة المطر والتاريخ البشري لطموحاتنا في مكافحة الأمطار، من رقصات الأمطار القديمة إلى 2203 أميال من السدود التي تحاول تواضع نهر المسيسيبي. يقدم الكتاب نظرة على المتنبئين المؤسسين مثل توماس جيفرسون، الذي قام بقياس كل رذاذ قبل وقت طويل من الأرصاد الجوية الحديثة. بعد قرنين من الزمان، ستلهم السماء الممطرة صلصال موريسي وجرونج كورت كوبين. يعد Rain أيضًا رحلة، حيث يأخذ القراء إلى اسكتلندا لإخبار القصة المذهلة لعباءة mackintosh، وإلى الهند، حيث يستخرج القرويون رائحة المطر من الأراضي المغمورة بالرياح الموسمية ويحولونها إلى عطر.
