520    The gnashing teeth of an oncoming storm. Wind-launched 
       missiles and wind-tossed airplanes. Sand dunes and the 
       Dust Bowl, shipwrecks and wind-riding spiders, weather 
       forecasting, wind power, windmills, and wars; on page 
       after page of his brisk and fascinating book, Bill 
       Streever reveals wind's real nature--and its history-
       shaping force. Seeking a deep immersion in his subject, 
       Streever will go to any extreme. So, after a three-day 
       course, this novice sailor set out on a vintage fifty-year
       -old sailboat named after Don Quixote's horse, and sailed 
       east from Texas to Guatemala over 43 days and 1000 miles. 
       How better to explore and experience the winds that built 
       empires, the storms that wrecked them, and the surprising 
       history and science of moving air? From history's great 
       violent storms to the impacts of weather on life and 
       business, from wind's energy to its power to give and 
       destroy life, this is a thrilling read.--Adapted from dust
       jacket.
