Summary

"Wind and Weather" explores the profound influence of wind on Earth's geography, ecosystems, and human societies. It delves into how wind systems redistribute heat and moisture, shaping regional climates, and examines wind's impact on plant and animal life. For instance, wind is key to seed dispersal and the creation of specialized habitats, illustrating its vital role in ecological balance. This book argues that wind is not just a meteorological phenomenon but a crucial agent of environmental and cultural change.

 
The book progresses from basic atmospheric science principles to the specific effects of wind on diverse ecosystems like deserts, grasslands, and coastal regions. It dedicates several chapters to how human societies have adapted to, harnessed, and been impacted by wind throughout history.

 
Understanding global wind patterns, such as trade winds and jet streams, is essential for predicting and mitigating the impacts of climate change, highlighting the book's relevance to contemporary environmental issues. The book uses meteorological data, ecological studies, and historical records to support its claims, offering a comprehensive view of wind's significance.

    The Secret Carp is a fishing book with a difference. As The Independent comments, it is one of the few books that manages to capture the real joy of fishing in such a way that even a non-angler could be seduced. It tells the true story of the events of a single day and night beside an English carp lake in high summer.
When he stumbled upon a long-neglected, overgrown lake holding some monster carp, Chris Yates knew that he had discovered the kind of place about which every carp angler dreams. He set about trying to catch the huge, elusive inhabitants with rod and line. It was a quest that was to reveal many insights into the secretive behaviour of this king of freshwater fish and bring him thrillingly into contact with his quarry.
Waiting, watching and stalking, quite undeterred by the damp sleeping bag and the cold. Yates' enthralling story whispers adventure and promise. And it is punctuated by moments of great drama as monster fish disturb the tranquil world of the angler.
Fishermen of all persuasions will enjoy this masterful angling chronicle.

    Geoff Nicholson has been walking his whole life. Wherever he is and wherever he goes in the world, he walks and writes about what he sees and feels. Here he reflects on the nature of walking, why we do it, how it benefits us and, in some cases, how it can damage and even destroy us. Geoff's recent diagnosis with a rare, incurable form of cancer has made him all too aware of his own mortality. Sooner or later there will be a last step, a last excursion, a final drift, for him just as there will be for all of us. Geoff vows to continue to walk for as long as he can.
This moving, vital book describes his own walks and relates them to the walks of street photographers, artists and writers, such as Garry Winogrand, Diane Arbus, Sophie Calle, Jorge Luis Borges and Virginia Woolf, among many others. Walking on Thin Air is a book about mortality and, above all, a celebration of being alive.
