Climate and the Picturesque in the American Tropics

Om Climate and the Picturesque in the American Tropics

This book explains how we came to think of the climate as something abstract and remote rather than a force that actively shapes our existence. It shows how the writings of American travellers in the Caribbean registered and pushed forward a new understanding of the climate in a pivotal period in modern history, roughly between 1770 and 1860.
