An Ocean of Air: A Natural History of the Atmosphere
Gabrielle Walker
We not only live in the air, we live because of it. At ground level air transforms miraculously; it wraps our planet in a blanket of warmth, while the outer layer of our atmosphere soaks up violent flares from the sun. This book traces a journey of scientific discovery from the first experiments in the Renaissance to findings in space.
