Wilson Award for Literary Science Writing, and named among the best nonfiction books of 2015 by NPR’s Science Friday, the Boston Globe, Kirkus Reviews and others, Rain gives a natural and cultural tour from the storm-related witch persecutions of the Little Ice Age to the rising floodwaters of climate change. Rain’s history has a lot to tell us about coming together to adapt for the stormy times ahead.
