Sinossi

Lightning Safety offers a comprehensive guide to understanding and mitigating the risks associated with lightning strikes. It explores the science behind lightning, detailing how charge separation in clouds leads to powerful electrical discharges. Surprisingly, lightning can strike even when the thunderstorm is miles away, emphasizing the need for constant vigilance. The book stresses that informed awareness and proactive safety measures are the best defenses against lightning-related incidents.

 
The book examines environmental factors influencing lightning frequency and intensity, such as geography and climate change, and provides practical safety protocols for a variety of scenarios, from outdoor activities to indoor precautions. Real-life case studies illustrate the impact of lightning on humans, animals, and infrastructure, providing a stark reminder of its destructive potential. It emphasizes that being struck by lightning does not always result in immediate death, but can cause lasting neurological damage or cardiac arrest.

 
Lightning Safety progresses logically, starting with the science of lightning and moving towards practical applications. It covers topics such as thunderstorm safety, lightning protection, and emergency response, providing actionable advice applicable to everyday life. The book's unique value lies in its integrated approach, combining scientific explanations with realistic safety advice and community preparedness strategies, empowering readers to make informed decisions and take proactive steps.

    Open up a world of knitting possibilities with these fun and stylish sock designs using Japanese stitch techniques. In Knitted Socks East and West, author Judy Sumner compares knitting a sock to writing a haiku: both challenge you to create something beautiful and original within a sparse, strict format. In this, her first book, she recounts how she came to study hundreds of exquisite Japanese stitch patters and then apply her new knowledge to the sock designs showcased here. Whether short or long, fine or bulky, simple or complex, each of the 30 designs in Knitted Socks East and West is named after an intriguing aspect of Japanese culture. For example, the leg of the Origami crew socks appears to fold in and out; the Sumo slipper socks are named after the heavy, organic movement of the cables in their thick yarn; and the Ikebana knee socks highlight a textural floral design. Step-by-step text and easy-to-read charts are included for each design, along with illustrated directions for the Japanese stitchwork introduced in the projects.

    Two days east of Lukla was a pleasant yak pasture surrounded by high peaks. When Col. Jim Roberts set out to look for it in 1953, he ended up making the first ascent of Mera Peak and sowing the seeds of Himalayan tourism. 
    Mera Peak has become a popular goal for trekkers and novice mountaineers, but few people climb to its true summit, and fewer still travel beyond it to find the secret yak pasture that sparked Roberts’ journey. 
    The yak pasture was the Hongu Valley, a hidden sanctuary of grassland, lakes and glaciers linking Mera Peak with the Everest region and Island Peak to the north. Fifty years after Roberts, Mark Horrell embarked on a trek through Nepal’s Khumbu region to follow in his footsteps, climb the two trekking peaks at either end of the valley, and resolve a long-standing mystery about Mera Peak’s height. 
    Join Mark on a captivating journey through this enchanting region of high mountains and remote valleys.
