Description

From the development of the scientific understanding of storms to their representation in literature, art and music, from the destruction of the storm-tossed Spanish Armada to the devastation wrought by tornadoes, and from the early development of windmills to the contemporary furore surrounding wind turbines, this book shows how the wind has had a surprising and profound impact on Britains landscape, history, wildlife, economy and culture.

About the Author
Andrew Beattie has written for Rough Guides, the Independent on Sunday, and the journal Contemporary Review. He has also contributed to programmes on BBC Radio 4.
