spacewhombus's review against another edition
inspiring
reflective
slow-paced
3.0
Hmm this was middle for me, and I actually think that if the author was not focusing most of the book on her home in the Outer Banks, NC, that I would not have been very interested (I come from NC so I knew the places she was talking about). This was written in the 90s but it didn't feel incredibly outdated to me, and it was still full of nice writing about the wind in various places. But I would say it was more poetic than scientific, similar in style to The Future of Ice: A Journey Into Cold by Gretel Ehrlich. This writing style is not my favorite, as I was hoping for more of a scientific perspective, but if you enjoy this style then I can definitely recommend this book.
