Defining the Wind is a wonderfully written account of one man s crusade to learn about what the wind is made of by tracing the history of the Beaufort Scale and its eccentric creator, Sir Francis Beaufort. It s as much about the language we use to describe our world as it is an exhortation to observe it more closely."
