It's called "An Ocean of Air," By Gabrielle Walker. Really interesting information about how oxygen and carbon dioxide was 'discovered,' why radios work, how the global winds are arranged plus other fun stuff - the reason for aurora borealis. I am quite intrigued with how much protection we get from 'thin air."

Oh, yes, Josh, I hope you like it. I was intrigued, too, not understanding all the science but so many phrases that I liked, such as "We don't live under the sky, we live in it." And the fact that the real light at the end of the rainbow would fry us! Ultraviolet and X-rays that would boil our blood! There is a poem in that, wishing to come out...

I just ordered it on amazon. Those are the same types of things that I was hoping for. If the real light at the end of the rainbow would fry us.....well then i can't think of a more fascinating thought. Hope there is some poems in there. I'll race you to them.

I am excited that someone else I know is reading it. Let me know what you think. There is some history mixed in that makes it even more interesting. I'll keep that to myself so you can be surprised.
