“Institute of Physics. London Monographs for Students” was a series of books published by the Institute of Physics and IOP Publishing, likely from the mid-20th century, though the original “Monographs for Students” title is not a current main series. These older, now likely out-of-print, titles were aimed at students, covering topics like D.C. analogue computers, and can be found on used bookseller sites. Today, IOP Publishing offers modern series for students, such as the “IOP Concise Physics” and “IOP Series in Physics Education,” alongside a range of research and reference texts.

Howard Latimer Penman (1909 – 1984) was a British meteorologist. He formulated Penman’s Formula, which is used worldwide by meteorologists and agricultural scientists to assess evaporation rates in different setups (lakes and ponds, lawns, cropped fields) and locations in the world. With John Monteith he formulated the Penman–Monteith equation which is used to calculate evapotranspiration and the need for crop irrigation. Penman was a distinguished Rothamsted Research scientist and government advisor, and a well-known local figure in Harpenden.
