    • Niesamowite, pouczające i niekończąco zabawne spojrzenie na to, jak pogoda ukształtowała nasz świat. W historii wielcy przywódcy upadali, wyniki potężnych bitew były decydowane, a biegi wydarzeń zmieniały się pod wpływem potężnej, nieprzeniknionej siły natury: pogody. Laura Lee bada niesamowite i czasami dziwaczne sposoby, w jakie pogoda wpłynęła na naszą historię i przyczyniła się do wielkich zmian kulturowych. Zachwyca nas także mnóstwem fascynujących faktów związanych z pogodą (czy wiesz, że każdego roku więcej Brytyjczyków umiera z powodu poparzeń słonecznych niż Australijczyków?), oferując czytelnikom zabawny przegląd absurdalnych prób ludzkości kontrolowania żywiołów.
