Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of weather modification, exploring the science and practice of attempting to control precipitation. The author takes us back to a pivotal moment in the history of this field, when reports from the National Academy of Sciences and the National Science Foundation shifted scientific opinion, moving from skepticism to a recognition of weather modification's potential. We are then transported to California in the 1960s, where the book examines the state's unique legal framework governing weather modification projects. The book then goes beyond the legal framework to offer detailed accounts of specific projects undertaken during the 1965-1966 water year. We are introduced to a diverse cast of licensees, from public agencies to private companies, each with their own goals and methodologies. The author vividly describes the techniques employed, from silver iodide dispersal to electric discharge methods, as well as the rationale behind each project. The book highlights the challenges and opportunities associated with this technology, revealing the complex relationship between science, regulation, and the desire to control the forces of nature. The book's insights into early efforts at weather modification offer a valuable glimpse into the development of this field and its enduring relevance to our understanding of the environment.
