Sinopse

My most significant contribution as a geographer, along the second half of the 20th century, without a doubt was directed towards Climatology. Until then, mostly known as "Elements of Meteorology", the Climate study inside Geography was more connected with the quantification of atmospheric elements without the necessary genetic qualification and the behaviour dynamic of processes. Against general procedure, I saw myself in search of a conceptual revision and a revision of behaviour practices (dynamics), then initiated by the Polar Front Theory (1917). Slowly but surely, I elaborated a series of articles, book chapters, didactic advices geared towards high school teachings, until I started working with special projects, thesis and theoretical ponderings in hopes of producing a new paradigm that left behind the static field, exclusive of the arithmetic mean, towards the rhythmic dynamic. At this point in my life, having surpassed eighty years of age, I have called on this book´s co-authors in hopes of discussing a guideline on how to "distribute" another work which so far has taken a long time to reach a more effective practice, insofar as it having been developed over a century ago. I hope that the current efforts of distribution offer some benefits for the Geography students and the recently-graduated Geographers, and that, abroad, it manages to receive some attention as means to point out that, in the southern hemisphere, in Latin America, and more specifically in Brazil
