18 Miles: The Epic Drama of Our Atmosphere and Its Weather is a 2018 work of popular science by the Canadian poet and nonfiction writer Christopher Dewdney, published by ECW Press. Dewdney explores the thin, eighteen-mile-deep layer of air that makes life on Earth possible, explaining how clouds, wind, storms, lightning and climate work and how people throughout history have understood and tried to predict the weather, and examining how human activity is now changing the atmosphere on which we all depend.
