What is going on with our atmosphere? The headlines are filled with news of devastating hurricanes, murderous tornadoes, and cataclysmic fires. Gale force advisories are issued on a regular basis by weather services around the world. Atmospheric scientists are warning that winds - the force at the centre of all these dangerous natural events - are expected to steadily increase in the years ahead, strengthening in power, speed, and frequency. In 'The Breath of the Gods', Sunday Times bestselling author Simon Winchester provides a thought-provoking history of the wind.
