Title: Why the wind blows
First published: 2007
Description: "In easily understandable prose and through the use of true stories of exploration, 'Why the Wind Blows' looks at how these adventures were influenced by the weather and man's ignorance of its consequences. The science of meteorology is gently interspersed throughout the text, so that understanding weather becomes an intergral part of the stories. Concluding with the influence of modern civilization on the changing climate and its world-altering consequences, the author challenges the reader to take action now to alter the effects of global warming on future generations"--Page 4 of cover.
