Did anyone else hear Giles Foden on Radio 4 this morning talking to
Andrew Marr about his new book 'Turbulence'? A lightly fictionalised
account of weathermen trying to forecast the conditions for D-Day, with
a leading character based on Lewis Somebody who had worked out massively
complex equations which can only now be attempted with parallel
computing.... Sounded quite interesting to me, but then I don't know
very much about it!

You can Listen Again or catch it later tonight. The Foden bit is about
halfway through, I think.
