Since our first primordial breath, wind has been a central theme of cultural thought. Wind in its different guises - from the natural phenomenon of air in motion, to embodied life giving experiences and deities and spirits - has contributed to the richness of human ideas and practices from ancient cultures to this very day.
Published as part of The Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute Special Issue Book Series, and through a series of thought-provoking articles, Wind, Life, Health: Anthropological and Historical Perspectives examines the richness of human ideas surrounding wind in all its manifestations - breath, spirit, sentiment, life, and health.
