Wegener, A. — Thermodynamik der Atmosphäre. [Rare, orginal binding].

Leipzig, J. A. Barth, 1911. 8vo (22.0 x 14.3 cm). viii, 331 pp.; 17 photographic plates, 43 text figures. Original green cloth with black lettering on the spine and front board. Top edge green. = Important contribution to the thermodynamics in meteorology by the now famous founder of the continental drift theory, which he published in the next year. In fact, his theory about the "Entstehung der Kontinente" discredited him as a scientist. Until then he was renowned for "sound" contributions on meteorology - his first love - such as this one. Only later he was proven to be right. Small hole in the spine cover, old owner's signature pencilled on the title page; otherwise, very good, clean. Very uncommon and in its original binding in fact rare.
