They have brought timeless wisdom and wit into working with clouds, water, wind, and the ethics of believing humans are in control. This book matters--it has guided me through Hurricane Katrina; serious floods; ice storms; long, hotter and hotter summers; and an unpredicted winter tornado that hit my house in the middle of the night. Our ancestors practiced these ancient arts for countless millennia, and now they are even more relevant to the new world of weather we are experiencing.
