Windswept offers a wide-ranging natural-history account of wind and weather, showing how air movement shapes climate, carries moisture, and helped form rivers and early civilizations. It connects atmospheric processes to human developments such as sailing and flight.

The narrative examines oceanic storms, hurricanes, tornadoes and dust devils while explaining the origins and mechanics of wind. It also considers human impacts on the climate and how wind can be harnessed as a renewable resource.

Written by a Governor General’s Award–winning author, the book blends science, history and practical insight to reveal wind's influence on ecosystems, societies and technology.
