The Atmosphere

Originally published during the early part of the twentieth century, the Cambridge Manuals of Science and Literature were designed to provide concise introductions to a broad range of topics. They were written by experts for the general reader and combined a comprehensive approach to knowledge with an emphasis on accessibility. A. J. Berry's volume The Atmosphere, first published in 1913, gives an account of the history of discovering the different chemical properties and physical displays that make up the atmosphere.
