Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate relationship between air and life, exploring the atmosphere as a dynamic environment that profoundly impacts the existence of all living beings. The author, an esteemed expert in the field, examines how air, composed of a unique mixture of gases, serves as the foundation of respiration, providing the vital oxygen that fuels life's processes. Going beyond its role in respiration, this book investigates the diverse ways air interacts with life forms. It explores how atmospheric pressure affects organisms at various altitudes, and how air currents facilitate the dispersal of species, shaping the distribution of life across the globe. The author also delves into the influence of air on plant growth, highlighting its significance as a source of carbon for photosynthesis, the process that sustains plant life and forms the basis of the food chain. This book unveils the profound influence air exerts on life's origins, evolution, and ongoing existence. It illuminates the atmosphere as a complex and dynamic system, intricately connected to the web of life, and essential for the flourishing of all living organisms. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

So much for one series of differences in aeration. But another series exists which is even of greater interest. The aeration of waters, or the absorption of gases by water, varies according to general external conditions, among which temperature and pressure rank highest - not only general pressure, but, so to speak, individual pressure, or, to put it in other terms, the proportion of any given gas in a mixture. Under identical conditions, each gas, moreover, has its own special coetiicient of solubility. While nitrogen is feebly soluble, ammonia is highly so. This fact helps us to understand why it is that the gases which spontaneously dissolve in water in contact with the atmosphere do not, when extracted from the water, yield a mixture even distantly comps rable to air: how it is that the elements of air are not found in water under the proportions they bear to each other in the atmosphere. While water contains the constituents of air, it contains such propor tions of these constituents as are peculiar to it. However. The latter are provided in sufl'icient quantity, and normal river water is quite adequate to maintain the life of aquatic animals. This applies to fresh waters generally, for ponds and lakes have the same conditions as rivers.

Other policies
Please note that we cannot accept cancellation requests once an order has been placed.
All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
Please also make sure your address is correct before ordering as we will no be able to intervene and make changes before the book is shipped.
We can provide digital samples for all our print books ahead, so don't hesitate to reach out.
