Drawing ideas from religion, science, art, literature, and philosophy, this book provides a comprehensive history of the human perception of air over the last three centuries. Topics explored include our modern concern over emissions and climate change, the dangers posed by radio atmospherics, poison gas, and haze, as well as our continued fascination with effervescence and explosives.
