Hardback. Condition: Good. A dazzling kaleidoscope of natural and personal history crackling with intelligence . . . Lorraine Boissoneault is a force of nature.--Sarah McColl, author of Joy Enough Winner of the 2024 J. Anthony Lukas Work-in-Progress Award Science writer Lorraine Boissoneault has been in pain for most of her adult life. Unable to control or make sense of her chronic illness diagnoses, she began describing the ebb and flow of her symptoms as body weather. At first an imaginative approach to coping with flare-ups, the phrase has become a waypoint in Lorraine's explorations of the intimate relationship between our fragile bodies and the world around us. Visceral and poetic, these braided essays traverse science, history, and memoir to explore the interconnected relationships between the human body and Earth's meteorology--two chaotic systems that inform every cell of our beings. Boissoneault surveys her own body weather, relating her dysregulated thyroid to global temperature fluctuations; her arrhythmic heart to chaotic thunderstorms; her inflamed joints to wildfires beyond control.
