Bassnett is a scientific publication written in the mid-19th century. The work presents an innovative approach to understanding meteorological phenomena, particularly focusing on the mechanical effects of storms and the influence of lunar dynamics on weather patterns. The author aims to provide practical instructions for navigators to predict weather changes, supported by a theoretical framework that intertwines aspects of physics, astronomy, and meteorology. The opening of the book establishes Bassnett's goal of challenging established meteorological theories, which he views as inadequate for explaining the complexities of storms. He reflects on his journey of inquiry through various scientific doctrines, leading him to propose a new theory that hinges on the existence of an ethereal medium influencing weather mechanisms, specifically through vortices associated with lunar motion. The initial chapters lay the foundation by discussing the current state of meteorology, the role of gravitation, and the peculiarities of the lunar influence, outlining how these elements intertwine to affect atmospheric behavior and storm formation.
