Lightning was present on Earth long before human life
evolved and it may even have played a crucial role in the
evolution of life on our planet. Each year, some
25
million
cloud-to-ground lightning discharges occur in the united
States alone, killing more people than tornadoes and
hurricanes. Lightning is involved in
5
percent of all US
residential-property-damage insurance claims, including
those from tens of thousands of home fires, with total
claims of over one billion dollars annually. Lightning
initiates many forest fires, and over
30
percent of all
electric powerfailures are lightning related. Each
commercial aircraft is struck by lightning on average once
a year. A lightning strike to an unprotected object or
system can be catastrophic.
Lightning: Physics
oná
Effects is the first book that covers
essentially all aspects of lightning, including lightning
physics, lightning protection, and the interaction of
lightning with a variety of objects and systems as well as
with the environment, it is written in a style that will be
accessible to the technical non-expert and is addressed to
anyone interested in lightning and its effects. This will
include physicists, engineers working in the power
industry and in the communications, computer, and
aviation industries, meteorologists, atmospheric
chemists, foresters, ecologists, physicians working in the
area of electrical trauma, and architects. This
comprehensive reference volume contains over
300
illustrations,
70
tables containing quantitative
information, and a bibliography of over
6000
references.
