About this book

This book reveals the story of how humanity came to understand Earth’s atmosphere. This book traces the journey of groundbreaking scientific discoveries from an Italian Renaissance scientist named Torricelli, who realized that we live beneath a dense ocean of air, to West Virginia farmer William Ferrell, who discovered the secrets of the trade winds.

About the author

Gabrielle Walker

Gabrielle Walker has travelled to Antarctica many times, and Antarctica: An Intimate Portrait of a Mysterious Continent, published in 2013, is what came of those trips: part travel writing, part reporting on the researchers and support crews who live on the ice and the work that keeps them there.
