Penelope Wain believes that her lover, Neil Macrae, has been killed while serving overseas under her father. That he died apparently in disgrace does not alter her love for him, even though her father is insistent on his guilt. What neither Penelope or her father knows is that Neil is not dead, but has returned to Halifax to clear his name.Hugh MacLennan’s first novel is a compelling romance set against the horrors of wartime and the catastrophic Halifax Explosion of December 6, 1917.

This AcuRite glass Galileo thermometer with globe storm glass combines style and functionality as a beautiful accent piece for any home or office. Features an 11 in. Galileo thermometer, a glass Goethe barometer with frosted world map decoration and a wooden base. Makes a great gift item and lasting conversation piece. Galileo Galilei, the pioneer of modern astronomy and physics, (1564 to 1642), discovered that liquids change density as the temperature increases or decreases. Based on this principle, the colored glass spheres inside the glass Galileo thermometer have been precisely weighted so that they respond to temperature changes. When the temperature rises, the liquid inside the Galileo thermometer becomes less dense and the colored spheres floating inside will sink towards the bottom. When the temperature of the room cools, the process is reversed and the spheres will rise from the bottom. The Storm Glass is hand blown and accurately forecasts changes in the weather hours in advance. Color: Multi.

The AcuRite Atlas Weather Station with a Gray HD Display for Temperature, Humidity, Wind Speed/Direction, Lightning Detection, and Built-In Barometer (01000M) also provides indoor temperature and humidity, rainfall measurements, UV index, and light intensity readings. Protect your family, house, and garden with minute-by-minute updates in weather changes, including the outdoor temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction (thanks to the anemometers and wind vane), rainfall, UV index, and light intensity. Further protect your valuables with lightning strike detection from up to 25 miles away. Much more than a typical weather clock, you'll get indoor temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, heat index, dew point, and wind chill information. Create your own weather center with a hyperlocal weather forecast 12 hours from your current conditions - more high-tech than a storm glass and a feature only the best weather station can boast! A perfect gift for Christmas, Father's Day, and Birthdays, this weather tech gadget is perfect for smart-home optimization. The outdoor sensor takes four (4) AA batteries (not included), and the HD display is AC powered and uses three (3) AAA batteries for backup purposes only (batteries not included). This weather station comes with a one-year limited warranty.

The AcuRite Iris (5-in-1) Wireless Weather Station measures indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity, rainfall and rainfall history, wind speed and direction, and barometric pressure. You'll also receive a self-calibrated, hyperlocal forecast for 12 hours from current conditions generated from weather data measured by a wireless weather sensor in your backyard. Say goodbye to your old-school anemometers and wind vanes! Wind speed information is relayed to your personal weather station display that includes current, peak, and average speed, and there is a 16-point wind rose to show the direction. The outdoor wireless device acts as a wireless rain gauge, which provides data that you can see on the indoor weather station display. You'll be able to see the time, month, date, and year - making for the perfect tabletop or wall-mountable weather clock. This digital weather station has a customizable weather ticker that streams real-time information, such as feels like temperature; high/low temperature records; moon phase; indoor humidity high/low records; and low battery, wind chill, heat index, and dew point alerts. You'll have all the weather data you need to create your own in-home weather center and can boast to your neighbors that you have the best weather station! Or set this up in the park as the perfect RV weather station and monitor conditions for you and your campmates! This weatherstation (estacion meterologica) comes with a one-year limited warranty.

The barometer remains the most important tool for evaluating and predicting the weather. This book explains why knowing accurate values of the atmospheric pressure can improve this process and benefit all applications. Ways to evaluate and calibrate aneroid and electronic barometers using readily available data by Internet or telephone are clearly described. Tactical applications to marine navigation are covered. The book also includes worldwide average monthly pressures and their standard deviations. With the exception of trained meteorological crews, barometers in the past were used at sea primarily to learn if the pressure was going up or down, and whether it was doing this rapidly or slowly. And from this we made an educated guess of a likely consequence, usually in conjunction with other observations. Outside of professional marine use, little effort was made to know the true pressure for several reasons. We did not know what to do with it if we had it, and more often we could not get it if we wanted it, because most barometers were not calibrated. This has changed. We now have many valuable applications of accurate pressure, and we also have affordable ways to get it, and we have convenient ways to prove our instruments work properly. The main goal of this book is to show how all this comes about, and to give more insight into this fascinating, venerable instrument that has been with us for 150 years. Another goal is to introduce users to the new breed of electronic devices that are in the process of revolutionizing how we do weather at sea. We also re-introduce mariners to several classic aneroid instruments that are highly accurate and tested at sea for over 70 years, and why we benifit from having both a calibrated aneroid and an electronic barometer on board.

How should philosophy deal with world events? Vincent Descombes examines the ways in which major modern philosophers have developed the barometers that they use to tell us about modern reason and the spirit of the times. He examines the so-called "return to Kant" characteristic of projects like Foucault's "ontology of the present," Habermas's critical theory of history, and Heidegger's "epochal" understanding of metaphysics. These projects fail, he argues, because they try to account for the culture of a period by linking it to a Western metaphysics or modern rationality, when in fact philosophy does not contain the "principle" of a culture; simply put, the relation works the other way around. To this kind of "discourse on modernity" Descombes opposes an anthropology of modernity, derived in part from Wittgenstein's philosophy of rules, which suggests a solution to the quarrel between the modern and the postmodern. For Descombes, a "philosophical discourse of modernity" should be rejected, for the true subject of modernity belongs not to philosophers, but to writers, moralists, and sociologists of individualism.

Cards. It can be remarkably hard to tell other people how we really feel; it may even be tricky for us to get clear about our own moods. Mostly, if people ask how we are, well just say, Fine - knowing that weve provided only a sharp abbreviation of what is actually going on in our minds.This is a tool to help us overcome our vagueness: cards that offer definitions of twenty moods that we can all recognise but that can be hard to pin down and explain. Here are descriptions of - among many other things - the sense of feeling weepy, nostalgic, anxious, and dreamy.These cards help us reach a clearer understanding of our inner emotional weather. They can also be passed on to friends and colleagues (or simply displayed on our desk) so that the world can better know whats going on inside us, without our needing to explain too much. Quotes From The Cards:Everyone is more anxious than they are inclined to tell us. Even the tycoon and the couple in love are suffering. Weve collectively failed to admit to ourselves how much it is customary to panic. But we can at least hold out our arms to our similarly tortured, fractured, and above all else, anxious neighbours, as if to say, in the kindest way possible: I know. - On Feeling AnxiousWe should enjoy our obsessive moods. To obsess well is to realise that the lovely person we sketch in our heads is our creation: a creation that says more about us than it does about them. We may not really be getting to know another person properly, but we are growing our insight into who we really are.- On Feeling Obsessive Twenty cards to help you reach a clearer understanding of your inner emotional weather Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
