By George A. Shove

Book Overview

Life Under Glass is a book written by George A. Shove in 1874, which contains suggestions for the creation of artificial climates. The book discusses the possibility of controlling the environment within a glass enclosure, allowing for the cultivation of plants and the raising of animals in a controlled environment. Shove explores the benefits of such an environment, including the ability to grow crops year-round and the potential for scientific research. The book also discusses the challenges of creating and maintaining such an environment, including the need for precise temperature and humidity control, as well as the potential for disease outbreaks. Overall, Life Under Glass provides an early glimpse into the concept of controlled environments and the potential benefits they could provide.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
