| Summary |
"The New Air World: The Science of Meteorology Simplified" by Willis L. Moore is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work aims to make the complex field of meteorology understandable to a general audience, particularly for those interested in improving their understanding of weather phenomena and applications. The book serves both educational purposes for advanced pupils in public schools and for those simply seeking to become "weatherwise." The opening of the book presents an introduction to meteorology, highlighting the author's intent to demystify the science of the atmosphere. Moore emphasizes how little was known about atmospheric conditions at the time of the Pilgrims and aims to guide readers through the formation, composition, and function of Earth's atmosphere as well as comparisons with other planetary atmospheres. He sets the stage for readers to explore weather phenomena such as storms, temperature variations, and the importance of understanding these elements in everyday life, thereby providing a foundation for the detailed explanations and scientific principles that will follow in the subsequent chapters.
