About the Book:

Bestselling author Simon Winchester returns with a history of the wind, a force that is destined to increase as the climate changes, and which can be both our destroyer in natural disaster and our saviour in green energy. It is an urgently needed portrait of an unseen entity whose role in our lives is only going to grow, and that we need to understand for the future of our species.
