Air sustains the living. Every creature breathes to live, exchanging and changing the atmosphere. Ignorance of the air is costly. The artist Eva Hesse died of inhaling her fiberglass medium. Thousands were sickened after 9/11 by supposedly 'safe' air. The African Suhel suffers droughts in part because we fill the air with industrial dusts.
With a passionate narrative style and wide-ranging erudition, Air is- like the contents of a bag of seaborne dust that Darwin collected aboard the Beagle- a treasure trove of discovery.
