Sunday Times bestselling writer, journalist and broadcaster Simon Winchester, OBE, (UK; USA) discusses his latest book The Breath of the Gods: The History and Future of the Wind, a thought-provoking history, and future, of the wind. Atmospheric scientists are warning that winds – the force at the centre of many dangerous natural events – are expected to steadily increase in the years ahead, strengthening in power, speed, and frequency. Between wind as a malevolent force, and wind as saviour of our planet, lies a world of fascination, history, literature, science, poetry, and engineering which Simon Winchester explores with the curiosity and vigor that are the hallmarks of his bestselling works.
