Viewed from beyond the fog line, it is picturesque, the stuff of postcards and viral videos; yet from within it is a menace, responsible for travel delays and accidents-including the deadliest airline disaster in history-and is a vessel of terror and contagion. Stephen Spark's \u003ci\u003eFog\u003c\/i\u003e traces the brief history of fog from the mid-19th century, when Oscar Wilde claimed that fog was invented, to the 21st-century Pacific coast, where scientists believe fog may be going extinct, to reveal a history of our conflicting desires to eliminate and appreciate fog. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eObject Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in \u003ci\u003eThe Atlantic.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Sparks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501333739\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501333736\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Stephen Sparks","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48442302660863,"sku":"9781501333736","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_289a4334-e440-4a92-a984-8f9372b5bd0a.jpg?v=1777196485","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fog-stephen-sparks-9781501333736","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
