- **Event Description**: Bestselling author Simon Winchester returns with a thought-provoking history of the wind, told in his inimitable style.About this EventThe Breath of the GodsWhat 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. While this prediction worried the insurance industry, governmental leaders, scientists, and conscientious citizens, one particular segment of society received it with unbridled enthusiasm. To the energy industry, rising wind strength and speeds as an unalloyed boon for humankind - a vital source of clean and 'safe' power.Between these two poles - 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. In The Breath of the Gods, he explains how wind plays a part in our everyday lives, from airplane or car travel to the 'natural disasters' that are becoming more frequent and regular.The Breath of the Gods is an urgently-needed portrait across time of that unseen force - unseen but not unfelt - that respects no national borders and no vessel or structure in its path. Wind, the movement of the air, is seen by so many as a heavenly creation and generally a thing of essential goodness. But when it flexes its invisible muscles, all should take care and be very afraid.Simon WinchesterSimon Winchester, OBE, is a British writer, journalist and broadcaster. He is the acclaimed author of many books, including The Professor and the Madman, The Map That Changed the World, and Krakatoa, all of which were New York Times bestsellers and appeared on numerous best and notable lists.
