William Bryant Logan

"In this lovely book, Mr. Logan makes the air airy again."

"Logan’s meticulously researched and engagingly presented treatise is a breath of, well, fresh air."

I was hooked. Each chapter is a riveting account of how our air and its mighty winds are compelling protagonists in our lives.

“The invisible is made powerfully, inescapably vivid here. The air is the sea in which we swim, and so this book becomes an account of our (thin, deteriorating) place in the cosmos.”

"[Logan] possesses the ability  to render complex ideas clearly in a seemingly effortless way, often relying on apt similes and metaphors."

“A masterpiece. Remarkably, Logan brings our planet’s air to life with riveting accounts—just in time, as humanity’s future depends upon an understanding of our air.”

"An examination of the all-encompassing role that the atmosphere plays in shaping our lives ... A tour-de-force journey through the natural world."

"Air is a thought-provoking paean, not only to the air but to the variousness of this world."
