Sinossi

St. Elmo's Fire explores the historical and scientific dimensions of the eerie, luminous glow often seen on pointed objects during electrical storms. This phenomenon, observed for centuries by sailors, involves atmospheric electricity and corona discharge, where intense electric fields ionize air molecules, causing them to emit light. Intriguingly, these plasma discharges were often viewed with a mix of awe and fear, sometimes seen as omens or even divine intervention. The book uniquely blends maritime history with cutting-edge physics to offer a comprehensive understanding of this enigmatic occurrence.

 
The book's approach is to first examine St. Elmo's Fire through historical accounts found in naval records and sailors' logs, providing context to its perception over time. It then transitions into a scientific analysis of electromagnetic field dynamics and atmospheric science, explaining the physics behind the phenomenon. This includes detailed discussions of how electrical storms create conditions ripe for St. Elmo's Fire, offering insights into lightning protection and safety measures.

 
Ultimately, the book synthesizes these historical and scientific perspectives to present a nuanced view applicable to modern safety and risk assessment.

    Robert E. Lee scholar H. W. Crocker III is an esteemed Civil War historian. Skillfully summarizing Lee's life, Crocker clearly extracts leadership lessons from the storied career of the South's beloved leader and applies them to today's business world. Under General Lee's management, a rag-tag army of poor farmers-vastly outnumbered, outgunned, under-supplied, and under-fed-consistently routed Union troops. Brilliantly seizing strategic opportunities, Lee stunned his foes and inspired his soldiers. He was decisive, focused, and humble. Sharing his men's hardships, Lee spoke often with them and earned their loyalty. He found trusted subordinates who shared his vision, gave them broad instructions, and turned them loose. He didn't micromanage or belittle. Taking blame for failure, he was lavish in praise and charitable in criticism. Revered by his men, respected by his opponents, and universally recognized as a Christian gentleman, Robert E. Lee practiced-on plantation, battlefield, and campus-effective management principles. For those seeking leadership excellence, this practical work is absolutely essential. "A masterpiece-the best work of its kind I have ever read."-Major General Josiah Bunting III, superintendent of the Virginia Military Institute

    There is one problem that surpasses all others in its impact on men, women, and society. It is the family father wound. We focus on the importance of mothers in determining the well-being of children. Yet, without the support of their fathers, men become disconnected from their true selves, feeling that others are controlling their lives. The family father wound may be the most pervasive, most important, and least recognized problem facing men and their families today. However, the family father wound, resulting from physical or emotional absence, has been largely ignored. Disconnected males, without a strong sense of inner guidance, can become abusive towards women and destructive towards men. We've seen this with the outpouring of sexual abuse allegations involving many prominent men.More than 20 million children live in a home without the physical presence of a father. Millions more have dads who are physically present, but emotionally absent. If it were classified as a disease, fatherlessness would be an epidemic worthy of attention as a national emergency.The male anger and rage we see in everything from domestic violence to school shootings has its roots, I believe, in trauma resulting from growing up in families with disconnected and dysfunctional fathers. Yet, this childhood wounding can be healed.My 15th book, My Distant Dad: Healing the Family Father Wound is an adventure story to find the father I lost when I was five years old. It's also a tale of redemption and healing for both my father and myself.
