Wind : How the Flow of Air Has Shaped Life, Myth, and the Land, Paperback / softback Book

Wind : How the Flow of Air Has Shaped Life, Myth, and the Land Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

The wind has sculpted Earth from the beginning of time, but it has also shaped humans—our histories, religions and cultures, the way we build our dwellings, and how we think and feel.

In this poetic, acclaimed work, Jan DeBlieu takes the tempests of her home, the North Carolina Outer Banks, as a starting point for considering how the world’s breezes and gales have made us who we are.

She travels widely, seeking out the scientists, sailors and sages who, like her, are haunted by the movement of air.
