Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Eric Pinder subtitles his book "Tying Down The Wind" with "Adventures in the Worst Weather on Earth." But when Pinder writes about such weather, he does so with such a poetic pen that you want to experience it with him. I read much of this book sitting outdoors, enjoying the last days of autumn warmth and dryness I found it difficult to read more than one page at a stretch because Pinder's poetic descriptions of the sky made me stop and look more closely at the sky above me, hoping to see some of what he had described. If I gave you all the passages that stirred my imagination, I'd be infringing on copyright laws.
I rate Tying Down The Wind as one of my three favourite weather books for sheer beauty of the writing. On a few occasions, Pinder's poetic license results in a description falling just off the edge of strict scientific accuracy but in only one case does he go too far for my scientific side.
If you love watching the sky or have weather aficionados or nature nuts on your holiday shopping list, buy this book.
