Windswept: The Story of Wind and Weather by Marq de Villiers
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.2MB
Overview: Windswept is the story of humankind’s long struggle to understand wind and weather–from the wind gods of ancient times to early discoveries of the dynamics of air movement to high-tech schemes to control hurricanes. Marq de Villiers is equally adept at explaining the science of wind as he is at presenting dramatic personal stories of encounters with gales and storms. We have made great strides in understanding how wind affects weather, but much is left to learn about how global warming and pollution may impact the winds themselves. The stakes are high because, as Hurricane Katrina so vividly reminded us, anything that affects the winds eventually affects human life.
