Synopsis

'Fata Morgana' delves into one of nature's most captivating optical illusions, where objects appear to float, distort, or invert in the atmosphere. This comprehensive exploration reveals how specific atmospheric conditions, particularly temperature inversions where warm air sits above cool air, create natural refractive lenses that bend light in extraordinary ways. The phenomenon has not only puzzled observers for centuries but has also influenced maritime history, scientific understanding, and polar expeditions.

 
The book progresses through three main sections, beginning with the fundamental physics of atmospheric optics and light behavior through air density gradients. It then transitions to documented historical sightings, including the remarkable 1936 case off Sicily's coast where an entire fleet appeared to float upside down in the sky. The final section examines modern research methodologies and prediction technologies, connecting traditional observations with contemporary science.

 
What makes this work particularly valuable is its interdisciplinary approach, weaving together meteorology, physics, and historical research while maintaining accessibility for both academic and general readers. Through detailed case studies and previously unpublished expedition logs, the book illuminates how these atmospheric displays have impacted navigation, influenced folklore, and contributed to our understanding of climate science. Technical concepts are explained through practical examples, making complex atmospheric physics comprehensible without sacrificing scientific accuracy.

Climate Denial

Thomas Porcher, Henri Landes

Is it possible to subsidize fossil fuels on the one hand, while at the same time claiming to be committed to the fight against global warming? 
Is it possible to promote free trade treaties throughout the world while claiming that CO2 emissions must be reduced? 
Can we use indicators that only take into account market production without taking into account pollution?
In view of the climate challenge, the answer to these questions should be negative, but unfortunately today it is still positive. In a documented, clear and incisive book, Thomas Porcher and Henri Landes denounce this climate hypocrisy. In the last chapter, they present 10 proposals to meet the climate challenge. 
Instead of all the great speeches on climate, this book reminds us of the sad reality of recent years—an unprecedented development of polluting energies with unconventional gas and oil, a blind trust in non-existent solutions from the market to fight against climate change, hundreds of free trade treaties being negotiated without climate clauses, inadequate measurement indicators that encourage business as usual.
