Sam Gregory

In this episode of Biblioscapes in Discussion, I am joined by Sam Gregory to talk about his work and his book Vaia.

 
 
 
 

On the night of 28th October 2018 the North East of Italy was hit by the most damaging windstorm in its recorded history. Gusts of over 190km/h roared through forests and slammed into mountainsides. An estimated 30+ million trees were uprooted, and the disruption caused over €3 billion worth of damage, all in under 24 hours. The damage was not restricted to the physical landscape, Vaia has also created direct and indirect socioeconomic challenges on a local and national scale.
