‎Il futuro della Terra è scritto nella Luna. Come liberarsi dalle bufale del clima, prevedere il tempo che verrà e preparasi ad una nuova era glaciale‎

‎brossura Sotto i nostri occhi scorre la storia climatica del pianeta Terra tra alternanza di periodi caldi e freddi. "Il signore di venti e correnti", il jet stream, o corrente a getto della libera atmosfera, riveste un ruolo decisivo nei mutamenti climatici. Altri due elementi essenziali entrano a far parte della storia del clima: i poli e i vortici artico e antartico che giocano un ruolo importante per la penetrazione delle masse d'aria fredde verso sud, per equilibrare lo scarto termico fra le alte e le basse latitudini. Ma quale forza regola le variazioni di velocità e di direzione nel tempo e nello spazio della grande circolazione generale dell'atmosfera? Un interrogativo che ha alimentato da sempre risposte insolute e che trova la sua verità dall'astro che ha sempre affascinato e incuriosito il genere umano: la Luna, "la signora" da cui dipendono i destini climatici mondiali. E la Luna a pesare in maniera decisiva sul jet stream per la sua forza gravitazionale e rappresenta la chiave di volta di tutto il processo climatico. Edizione aggiornata.‎

‎EVOLUTIONARY THEORY 1748. Telliamed ou entretiens d'un philosophe indien avec un missionnaire françois sur la diminution de la Mer la formation de la Terre l'origine de l'homme etc. Mis en ordre par J.A.Guers‎

‎Amsterdam: Chez l'honore et fils libraires 1748. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. 2 vols. in one. 8vo. I: 10 cxix 7 208 pp. 1 f. "Errata" for Tom. 1. II: 2 231 pp. 1 f. "Addition" 1 f. "Errata" for Tom 1 sic. First title page with unobtrusive paper defect on lower margin not affecting text; this copy is lacking half-title and Errata leaf for Tom. 2. Very attractive 19th-century French red glazed boards red morocco spine lettered in gilt directly two insignificant worm-holes on lower hinge leading nowhere; trifle wear to binding extremities. Completely unsophisticated. First printing of "Telliamed" in every way a remarkable book. Disguised as an Oriental fantasy it contains perhaps the earliest appearance of one of the most important of all evolution speculations namely the so-called ultra-neptunian theory: that the entire Earth was and is a marine deposit and that all life on land originated from creatures of the sea. Maillet hypothesized that the earth was once entirely covered with water and that the water gradually evaporated into space causing land masses to appear. Maillet also created an ingenious methodology to calculate the age of the Earth: he concluded that the Earth is 2 billion years old evolutionists today consider this figure to be more like 4.5 billion. It is known that Buffon Lamark Cuvier and Darwin read this book and that they were very much influenced by Maillet's unorthodox "heretical" views. Well aware that such an immense figure would incur the wrath of the Church de Maillet presented his conclusions in the guise of a dialogue between a French missionary and an Eastern mystic named Telliamed an anagram for the author's last name i.e. de Maillet spelled backwards. The manuscript remained unpublished until a decade after Maillet's death. In order to present his radical conclusions in the guise of an Oriental tale Maillet interspersed monsters and mythological creatures into his text. Overtly anti-Christian "Telliamed" dismisses the Flood of the Old Testament as a fable because rainfall that lasted forty days would have been insignificant to submerge entire mountains. Maillet asserted that the Earth's history could not be read from the Bible but through the rocks themselves. <br /> <br /> ¶ With uncanny prescience Maillet describes how species have overlapping physical characteristics that suggested a common life origin namely the sea. Through a Oriental mystic we are told that: "The little Wings had under their Belly and which like their Fins helped them to walk in the Sea became Feet and served them to walk on Land." <br /> <br /> ¶ REFERENCES: Caillet No. 7009.
