Summary

Windiest Places explores the science and geography behind Earth's most blustery locations, revealing how extreme wind events shape landscapes and influence global climate systems. The book examines not only where these windy places are but also why they exist, delving into atmospheric dynamics and the consequences for the planet. Understanding wind patterns requires knowledge of meteorology, including atmospheric pressure and the Coriolis effect, and the book builds on these principles to understand how localized factors and global systems interact. 

 
The book progresses from basic concepts of wind generation to detailed case studies of specific windy locations, highlighting the impact on local ecosystems and human infrastructure. It then discusses the broader climatic implications, such as how these regions influence global weather patterns and ocean currents. The book finally explores practical applications, including harnessing wind energy and mitigating infrastructure damage.

Every elite chess player dreams of becoming world champion, of wearing the wreath and going down in history. Yet for many of today's top grandmasters, that dream long seemed out of reach: Norwegian juggernaut Magnus Carlsen was just too good.

Of teenaged prodigies who refuse to wait their turn. Of triumph and heartbreak, aspiration and anxiety. Of an ancient sport experiencing a remarkable resurgence and of the extremely online enfants terribles changing the game. 
 
Part sports chronicle, part paean, part character study, Interregnum offers something for both the chess-obsessed and the chess-curious as well as anyone who enjoys a riveting tale of struggle in sport or triumph of the intellect.
