~ The Goan scientist Daniel Dalgado, on the occasion of the XV International Congress of Medicine held in Lisbon in 1906, presented a paper entitled "The Climate of Lisbon, Mont'Estoril and Cintra". This book is intended to form a kind of companion to that paper and its first chapter provides an overview of the geography and topography of the entire Cascais area spread along the Tagus estuary, west of Lisbon in Portugal, while the subsequent chapters delve into the various climatic factors that influence the weather in this region. The aim was to show how this area was an excellent winter resort, by far superior to the seaside resorts then in vogue, such as Biarritz, Cannes or Nice. At the 13th International Congress of Hydrology, Climatology and Geology (Lisbon 1930), a paper was presented stating: "This is a region without winter. Here, after a mild and long summer and a short breezy and moderately chilly fall, there is an early and long spring that covers almost two thirds of the year. Passed the lightweight winter zip, the atmosphere clears, the breezes calm down and the sun shines in a transparent sky from morning to night." ~ Original wrappers ~ 70+[1]p ~ 22x15x1cm. ~ A near fine copy, very well preserved ~ LANGUAGE: English // We accept PayPal & EU bank transfer in EUROS //.…
