This view, it was thought, explained why the warming power of the sun was so much weaker at the top of a mountain than at the bottom, and why, in spite of his immense radiation, he retained his full powers. This belief, which especially prevails amongst... The American Journal of Science and Arts - Page 1961864Full view - About this book
