The sun without a permit’
In the summer of 1999, the Serbian Ministry of Health issued a public health warning about the environmental risks associated with the total solar eclipse to took place on 11 August. The warning contained a list of phantom symptoms unknown to medical profession. Some of these included severe itching, hypertension, cardiac palpitation and frequent urination. Despite the warning's patent absurdity, the Serbian public widely observed it by seeking i…
Atmosfear
The potential and serious effects of anthropogenic climate change are often communicated through the soundbite that anthropogenic climate change will produce more extreme weather. This soundbite has become popular with scientists and the media to get the public and governments to act against further increases in global temperature and their associated effects through the communication of scary scenarios, what the authors term “atmosfear.” Underly…

In this masterfully crafted history of water in Western Australia, Ruth Morgan provides a discerning account of social forces, political manoeuvring and ecological constraints that have shaped the

After the green gold rush
This paper examines the emergence of a representation of climate change amongst business and political elites as an axiomatic frame of long-term economic strategy. In this representation, the rationale for action on climate change is liberated from the premise of an exogenous physical threat, and replaced by incentives endogenous to the market in the form of opportunities in the so-called carbon economy. The relationship between climate science a…
A historical review of urban climatology and the atmospheres of the industrialized world
Although the scientific research in the atmospheres of urban space has been long in existence, it has still not found its proper place in the contemporary historical analysis. The historical emphasis on large‐scale phenomena and the advent of numerical weather prediction has occluded the scientific relevance and social dimension of investigations into small‐scale atmospheric processes. As a result, agricultural, forest, urban, and indoor meteorol…
Cities and Climate Change
This paper reviews the long tradition of city-scale climatological and meteorological applications prior to the emergence in the 1990s of early work on the urban/global climate change interface. It shows how ‘valuing and seeing the urban’ came to be achieved within modern scientific meteorology and how in a limited but significant set of cases that science has contributed to urban practice. The paper traces the evolution of urban climatology sinc…

Cursed by Comfort
Crucial to the eighteenth-century analyses of everyday disease was the role of the indoors, which has so far received only a marginal treatment in environmental history, and still less in the history of science and medicine. No studies exist on the pathologies of bathroom humidity, church chills, basement dews, kitchen smells, and bedroom heats. Historical accounts of environmental medicine proceed on the assumption of weather as an “outside” ent…
Confronting the Climate
This book explores the social origins of the Western preoccupation with health and environmental hazards. It looks at the rise of the dichotomy between the vulnerable 'in' and the threatening 'out' by
Climates as commodities
Gruff boreas, deadly calms
The medical connotations of winds have been known since antiquity. In the Western tradition, the Hippocratic opus put emphasis on the pathological exposure to winds which were considered as contributing to the so-called 'atmospheric constitutions', defined by the nature and intensity of the prevailing diseases. While such views continued to inform medical environmentalism well into the modern period, the early colonial encounters with extreme atm…
The Last Resort
It is a widely shared view that Victorian medical climatology held the Mediterranean in high therapeutic esteem. The ‘change of air’ literature had produced a medical map of the region that claimed to help health travellers determine the weather and scenery most favourable for their condition. Health factor, however, was only one of the many criteria involved in choosing a favourite spot. Social prestige and the rule of fashion, especially after …
Science Migrations
This paper presents the history of Belgrade numerical weather prediction models as ‘assemblages’ shaped by the cognitive, social and material circumstances of Tito’s Yugoslavia. It looks at how local researchers customized their model to suit the Balkan weather, IBM computers and socialist science policy, and how they managed to ‘export’ the product internationally. Accommodating the lack of computing power and mountainous topography, the model a…
The Politics of Sky Battles in Early Hanoverian Britain
We need not wonder at Aerial Knights, At elemental combats, and strange fights, when earthly monarchs thus renew their jars, and even all Europe is involv'd in wars. (William Lux, Poems on Several Occasions ) On 6 March 1716, the Historical Register featured a description of an extravagant “display” of sky lights above London. The newspaper reported that during the evening, a number of Londoners noticed something that at first appeared like a hug…
The Place of Nature and the Nature of Place
L'auteur tente ici d'examiner l'importance de la geographie regionale, des antiquaires provinciaux et de l'histoire naturelle locale dans le but de contredire les historiens qui pretendaient recemment que les hommes de lettres de province travaillaient a renier leur caractere regional et le retard qu'il representait, dans les reunions mondaines. L'auteur decrit ainsi la science provinciale comme une continuation de l'education regionale incluse d…
Ideological crests versus empirical troughs
The year was 1843, and the theme of English meteorology was measurement. Sir ‘Thunder-and-lightning’ William Snow Harris was given his last British Association for the Advancement of Science grant to complete the Plymouth series of over 120,000 thermometric observations, publication of which proved a costly venture, not least because the series implied no meteorological theory whatsoever. In July of that year, however, John Herschel wrote to Will…
