"Through a series of thought-provoking articles, Wind, Life, Health: Anthropological and Historical Perspectives examines people's intimate relationships with the wind. Seeking a balance between detailed ethnography and broad theoretical insights, the editors have gathered a diverse group of contributors whose works illustrate the similar patterns of human/wind relationships across cultures - hunters and gatherers in the polar regions, inhabitants of the Malaysian rain forest, Andaman Islands, ancient India, China, Greece, Muslim East Africa, Victorian England, and mountain-dwelling Swiss. We discover how people through history have grappled - physically and conceptually - with winds and spirits, and how it affected their practice."--Jacket.
