Storm Force: How Britain has been Forged by the Wind

Britain is the windiest country in Europe. Storm Force looks at all aspects of the wind in Britain. From the development of the scientific understanding of storms to their representation in literature, art and music, from the destruction of the storm-tossed Spanish Armada to the devastation wrought by tornadoes, and from the early development of windmills to the contemporary furore surrounding wind turbines, this book shows how the wind has had a surprising and profound impact on Britain's landscape, history, wildlife, economy and culture.
