Description
-
Printed by Franciscus Hackius Leiden, 1648 [B.S.] 95 With overseas expansion and colonisation new data and approaches to studying the weather emerged. Francis Bacon’s Natural and Experimental History of Winds aimed for a new approach to meteorology by forefronting the observation of natural phenomena, analysing how the wind interacts with machinery, such as ships and windmills. The Baconian scientific method sought to create a more functional approach to nature, in which humans can harness the power of the winds for their own gain.
