Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a landmark study of the Gulf Stream and the interconnected global currents that comprise the Atlantic Ocean's thermal system. The author, a renowned geographer known for his groundbreaking contributions to the field, meticulously compiles primary observations from scientific expeditions and data from the 18th century onward, and fuses them with his own insights, to illuminate the true and complex nature of the Gulf Stream. The author presents a formidable case, supported by reams of data, that the Gulf Stream's warm waters reach all the way to the coasts of Europe, a theory that was discounted by many of his contemporaries. The book explores the historical evolution of our understanding of the Gulf Stream, from its humble beginnings to the present-day theories, and in doing so reveals how its influence extends far beyond simple oceanic circulation: it has had, and continues to have, a significant impact on the climate and weather patterns of the Northern Hemisphere. 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. print-on-demand item.…
