Walker Gabrielle
Un oceano d'aria. Perché il vento soffia e altri misteri dell'atmosfera
ill., br. Il 16 agosto 1960 Joseph Kittinger, capitano dell'aeronautica, si lanciò da un'altezza di 32.000 metri, in caduta libera per cinque minuti. Dai confini dello spazio cadde sulla Terra e sopravvisse, risalendo "al contrario" l'oceano d'aria nel quale viviamo. Inizia con questa immagine, potente ed evocativa, il libro di Gabrielle Walker. Ma l'uomo non solo vive nell'aria; vive grazie all'aria. È la sostanza più miracolosa presente sulla Terra, responsabile del cibo che mangiamo, del clima, dell'acqua e della capacità di trasmettere e sentire i suoni. Gabrielle Walker sfoglia uno ad uno gli strati dell'atmosfera, raccontando le straordinarie imprese delle persone che ne hanno svelato i segreti: Galileo Galilei, che ne calcolò il peso; Cristoforo Colombo, che sfruttò gli alisei e i venti occidentali per andare e tornare dalle Americhe; Wiley Post, spericolatissimo pilota di aerei che negli anni Trenta scoprì le potenti correnti a getto che soffiano costantemente a 11 chilometri di altezza.

Watson Lyall
Storia del vento
ill., br. Il vento è aria in movimento. Watson inizia con la più semplice delle definizioni per poi sfociare in una vertiginosa serie di spiegazioni, fatti, mini storie e contemplazioni cosmiche: come questo evento atmosferico porta la vita nel mondo distribuendo calore ed energia, influenzando i fenomeni meteorologici, favorendo la riproduzione delle piante e la migrazione di molti animali, modificando il paesaggio e agendo sui comportamenti dell'uomo. Giunto alla quarta edizione negli Stati Uniti, Storia del vento è la prima analisi completa, esauriente e ampiamente informativa di tutti gli aspetti che caratterizzano uno dei più affascinanti elementi della natura, tanto più curioso in quanto privo di corporeità e di sostanza, ma indispensabile per la vita sul nostro pianeta. Dopo aver esaminato la geografia e la fisiologia del vento, mostrando in quanti modi disparati questo soffio invisibile abbia formato qualcosa a partire dal nulla, l'autore si sofferma sulla storia: ci sono venti, ad esempio, famosi per aver cambiato l'esito di battaglie decisive... Intriganti e originali sono anche i capitoli dedicati alla mitologia, al folclore, alle credenze religiose, così come il percorso tra le opere d'arte e le pagine che vedono il vento quasi come una forza spirituale capace di farci riflettere più attentamente sui mutamenti radicali del clima e della società. Chiudono il tutto un "Dizionario dei venti" e un'appendice con la mappa dei venti d'Italia.
