About The Author

Anthony R. Wood

In more than 35 years as a staff writer for The Philadelphia Inquirer, Anthony R. Wood has written on a broad menu of subjects, including taxes, dangerous coastal development, and the changing oceans. Wood has been nominated for Pulitzer Prizes four times. He was co-author of the series, Crisis on the Coast, published as a book, which warned five years before Katrina that an epochal hurricane disaster was inevitable. He has won numerous awards, including a National Association of Science Writers citation for his series on the Gulf Stream and a Society of Professional Journalists award for environmental writing.

He is the author of Snow: A History of the World’s Most Fascinating Flake, a treatise on the history, science and cultural impacts of snow. He writes frequently about weather and was the author of a popular series on biometeorology, and much of the material in Something in the Air is drawn from personal experience.
