Description
The Firmament: A Hidden Science Revealed The Earth's atmosphere is a thin, invisible layer that sustains all known life on the planet, shaping the unique climates and weather patterns that make each part of the world different. In this book, atmospheric scientist and science communicator Simon Clark offers a rare and accessible tour of the atmosphere, exploring its different layers and the science behind its workings. From the pioneers who first studied the atmosphere, to the unsung heroes working today to understand climate change, Clark sheds light on an oft-overlooked area of science. He explains why carbon dioxide is special, and how our knowledge of the atmosphere informs the debates surrounding climate change. By understanding the atmosphere, we can gain a glimpse of the future that is possible with this knowledge in hand.
