Climatic Atlas of the United States

Harvard University Press has partnered with De Gruyter to make available for sale worldwide virtually all in-copyright HUP books that had become unavailable since their original publication. The 2,800 titles in the “e-ditions” program can be purchased individually as PDF eBooks or as hardcover reprint (“print-on-demand”) editions via the “Available from De Gruyter” link above. They are also available to institutions in ten separate subject-area packages that reflect the entire spectrum of the Press’s catalog. More about the E-ditions Program »

By means of more than 1,000 maps, this atlas shows the regional contrasts of specific aspects of the climate—temperature, precipitation, sunshine, forests, growing seasons and so on—in such a way that they can be grasped readily by anyone interested in the subject. The maps have been drawn with the aid of data from the U.S. Weather Bureau and other government agencies, and they include much material not hitherto published.
