About This Item
New York: Philosophical Library, ( 1955 ). First American edition. Hardcover. Fine/fine. 8vo, 206 pages, cloth; printed with the British plates. Scarce.
Translated from the French by Madge Thompson ( who has made some editorial changes). Illustrated with photographs. "It does not appear, however, that the subject of the wind, considered from the point of view of Human Geography, has yet been treated in a detailed manner. In writing this book, I have tried to show how complex are the relations between man and this formidable element - Preface."

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
