"[An] enchanting stroll through maritime and science history . . . [Huler is] a charming guide." -New York Times Book Review "Huler writes with self-deprecating wit, and . . . he captures the Beaufort scale's 'open-hearted intellectual decency.'" -The New Yorker "On a scale of 0 to 13, this will blow you away . . . Hang on for a lighthearted romp over two hemispheres, two centuries of discovery, and the consuming passions of two men: Beaufort and Huler." -Seattle Times "Scott Huler's obsession with the scale is a match for Beaufort himself. Part history, part textbook, part memoir,Defining the Windexplores how we think about the currents that shape sea and landscapes." -Los Angeles Times "[A] reminder of why we read science books. . . . Read Huler and you'll pay more attention to the air moving through your backyard, fluttering leaves, rattling windows . . . compelling, powerful. . . . " -Boston Globe "To some people, the devil is in the details. But a true researcher will revel in the details. That's what Mr. Huler joyfully discovered in his investigations, and it shows in every page of this unusual and delightful book." -Dallas Morning News From the Trade Paperback edition., "[An] enchanting stroll through maritime and science history . . .
