About the book
Make no mistake: Wind is not shy or humble. Wind is violent, impulsive, arrogant and unpredictable - now playing with a kite, then tearing down a forest. With the help of diagrams and fact-filled sidebars, Wind explains what causes the air to move, describes their favourite forms (katabatics, hurricanes, tornadoes) and shows how they influence the landscape (sand dunes, wind power).�Readers will come to know the full breadth of Wind's physical, historical and psychological presence. Moving seamlessly between science, history and myth, this book is an engrossing and unique look at an elemental force.
