By the early twentieth century, however, scientists began to see oceans as physical phenomena that could be understood through mathematical geophysics. The Fluid Envelope of Our Planet explores the scientific developments from the early middle ages to the twentieth century that illuminated the once murky depths of oceanography.Tracing the transition from descriptive to mathematical analyses of the oceans, Eric Mills examines sailors' and explorers' observations of the oceans, the influence of Scandinavian techniques on German-speaking geographers, and the eventual development of shared quantitative practices and ideas. A detailed and beautifully written account of the history of oceanography, The Fluid Envelope of Our Planet is also an engaging account of the emergence of a scientific discipline. 606 $aOceanography$xHistory 606 $aOceanographers$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aOceanography$xHistory. 615 0$aOceanographers 676 $a551.4609 700 $aMills$b Eric L.$f1936-$0991595 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458645503321 996 $aThe fluid envelope of our planet$92269396 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05301nam 22006614a 450 001 9910877893903321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a9786610653331 010 $a9781280653339 010 $a1280653337 010 $a9780470047200 010 $a0470047208 010 $a9781615832668 010 $a1615832661 010 $a9780470047187 010 $a0470047186 035 $a(CKB)1000000000355117 035 $a(EBL)274001 035 $a(OCoLC)165304769 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000127492 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11147819 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000127492 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10053246 035 $a(PQKB)10736343 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC274001 035 $a(Perlego)2755790 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000355117 100 $a20051212d2006 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aCompressors and modern process applications /$fHeinz P.
