Abstract

Zee writes, " I Wind-sand i is not reducible to its component parts, as its properties cannot be derived from wind nor sand in isolation" (10-11). Here, Zee teaches us to read wind-sand as both substance and process, both microbiology and geo-meteorology, both singularity and multiplicity, and both historicity and futurity. While catching his breath, Zee visits a Chinese research station, learning how ecologists are developing botanical "holding patterns" (114) to govern the movements of wind and sand.
