Sunspottery: Or What Do We Owe To The Sun? is a book written by John A. Westwood Oliver and published in 1883. The book explores the theory that the sun's activity, particularly its sunspot cycle, has a significant impact on the weather patterns, famines, pestilences, and commercial panics experienced on Earth. The author begins by discussing the history of sunspot observations and the scientific discoveries made about the sun's activity. He then delves into the impact of sunspots on Earth, citing examples of extreme weather events and societal upheavals that have been linked to the sun's activity. Oliver also explores the potential benefits of understanding and predicting sunspot activity, such as improved agriculture and economic stability. He concludes by discussing the limitations of the current understanding of sunspottery and the need for further research in the field. Overall, Sunspottery: Or What Do We Owe To The Sun? provides a fascinating look at the relationship between the sun and Earth and the potential implications of this relationship for human society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
