Wind Wizard: Alan G. Davenport and the Art of Wind Engineering
Siobhan Roberts
Brings us the story of Alan Davenport (1932-2009), the father of modern wind engineering, who investigated how wind navigates the obstacle course of the earth's natural and built environments - and how, when not properly heeded, wind causes buildings and bridges to teeter unduly, sway with abandon, and even collapse.
