Inhoud:

Written principally for farmers, this 1812 work by the naturalist Joseph Taylor (c.1761–1844) trawls the English countryside for meteorological clues. From the barometrical qualities of chickweed to the activities of bats, ants and oxen, the natural world is transformed into one great forecasting system for the sufficiently observant.
