Wind is everywhere and nowhere. Wind is the circulatory system of the earth, and its nervous system, too. Energy and information flow through it. It brings warmth and water, enriches and strips away the soil, aerates the globe. Wind shapes the lives of animals, humans among them. Trade follows the path of the wind, as empire also does. Wind made the difference in wars between the Greeks and Persians, the Mongols and the Japanese. Wind helped to destroy the Spanish Armada. And wind is no less determining of our inner lives: the f?hn, mistral, sirocco, Santa Ana, and other ?ill winds? of the world are correlated with disease, suicide, and even murder. Heaven?s Breath is an encyclopedic and enchanting book that opens dazzling new perspectives on history, nature, and humanity.
