Weatherwise. England's Weather Through the Past Thirty Years

pp 110 A description of British weather from 1913 to 1942 including temperature and rainfall tables, and illustrated with a series of black and white photographs of the same plants and trees on identical dates through each year, for example the same chestnut tree branch photographed on the first of April from 1913 to 1942. Very good in black cloth with white spine lettering, the pages are clean; in a good dust jacket, chipped to both panels and spine. A fascinating resource for students of climate change. This book comes from the collection of the scientist and pioneer birth-control campaigner Marie Stopes (1880-1958) which was inherited by her son the philosopher Harry Stopes Roe (1924-2014) and sold following the death of his widow Mary Stopes Roe in May of this year. Mary was herself an academic and author, the daughter of the engineer and inventor of the bouncing bomb, Sir Barnes Wallis.
