Yuriko Furuhata traces climate engineering from the early twentieth century to the present, showing how a range of Japanese scientists, technicians, architects, and artists developed technologies to monitor, condition, and modify climate.
Crop production in greenhouses is a growing industry, especially in mild climates, and is very important for the population as a source of income and clean, fresh food. Greenhouses create optimal climate conditions for crop growth and protect crops from outside pests. At the same time greenhouse production increases water use efficiency and makes integrated production and protection (IPP) possible. This book provides technical instructions for practice (what to do and what not to do) and gives answers to the question: How to produce more clean crops and better quality with less water, less land and less pesticide. Suitable greenhouse constructions and their design, adapted to local climates in subtropical, tropical and arid regions and infrastructure conditions are presented. The necessary climate control measures - light transmittance, ventilation, cooling, heating, and CO2 enrichment - and physical measures for pest control, as well as methods for using solar energy to desalinate salty water are described. The results of theoretical research are transferred into methods for practical use, so that readers are equipped to solve their problems in practice as well as to get stimulation for further research and development.
Excerpt from Climatic Control At the end of 1909 I was asked to contribute to this series a small textbook on the subject of climatic control for use in schools. To deal adequately with so extensive a subject in a small book was, of course, impossible, and I found it necessary to select a certain number of subjects illustrating climatic effects, with the result that the book should be regarded, not so much as a compendium of information, as a guide to help the student to observe and think for himself, since climatic effects are discernible everywhere on the face of the globe and in the life upon it. The first chapter on the principles of climatology should be regarded as introductory to the following six chapters on the subject of climatic control. The special prominence given throughout to the study of the British climate and its effects is due to the book being intended primarily for British scholars, who should carefully observe the climatic and general geographic features of their own country; and this, moreover, is in accordance with my own intimate personal knowledge of the climate of Britain.

Originally published in 1985, this volume of essays was compiled in honour of Gordon Manley, a major and distinctive twentieth-century figure in climatology. The range and scope of the topics covered reflect the eclectic interests of Manley, whose orientation was always towards the importance of climate and its impact on mankind. The state of the art of climatic change is considered at different scales by the contributors: from instrumental records on a local scale from Durham and Manchester to discussions on the regional and continental scale. Methodological problems relating to climatic change are treated. The effects of climate and climatic change on plant distribution, disease vectors and agricultural pests are also considered.
