Wind can be seen as a malevolent force—gale-force destruction and cataclysmic fires—or as a savior of our planet—harnessed for clean, “safe” power. Between these poles lies a world of fascination, history, literature, science, poetry, and engineering which Simon Winchester explores in The Breath of the Gods with the curiosity and vigor that are the hallmarks of his bestselling works. Elm Street Books will be on site for book sales and signing.
