"A joyous read from a brilliant communicator." The Bookseller "With the passionate narrative style and wide-ranging erudition that have made William Bryant Logan's work a touchstone for nature lovers and environmentalists, Air is - like the contents of a bag of seaborne dust that Darwin collected aboard the Beagle - a treasure trove of discovery." The Guardian "Logan's science writing is impressively agile. The way he shifts focus from the minute detail to the broad vista is both revealing and satisfying...this book is a wonderfully multifaceted exploration of this most ephemeral and least-considered aspect of the world." New Scientist "Air is a diffuse collection of colourfully narrated stories. With smatterings of the author's philosophy it is an easily digestible yet rich feast..." The Biologist "...delivers vast amounts of science with brevity and elegance." Nature
