The Wind
We live at the bottom of an ocean of air, 5,600 million, million tons of it. When it moves it can be a gentle breeze called 'a sigh in the sky' in China, or a great wind like the Mistral in France. Where does the wind come from? What's in the air we breathe? Can migrating birds read the wind? Does the wind affect our health? How have changing winds altered the course of history? Dr Lyall Watson , naturalist, answers your questions. Barbara Myers is in the Chair. Produced by the Woman's Hour unit
