Transport of Solids in Air

It has been known for many millennia that small solid bodies such as dust, sand, ash, and tiny pebbles could be transported by winds circling the globe. Moving from this to purposeful transportation of huge solid bodies through air is one of mankind's greatest scientific achievements. This book explores the physics and engineering groundwork behind this transportation, which, in turn, is used to explore the creation of new methods of quicker, safer transportation and solutions to global transportation issues, such as the transportation of food, goods, and even energy.
