Summary

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.

    The breakout star of Discovery’s hit automotive restoration show Fast N’ Loud takes readers on an entertaining ride through his wild life and behind the scenes of his hit show in this memoir and automotive handbook, revving with outrageous details and jaw-dropping stories, and injected with the quick-witted, foul-mouthed charm viewers love. 
    “If we’re gonna have fun, it better have a motor!” 
    In Fast N’ Loud, Richard Rawlings pushes into high gear, sharing the story of his rise to success, his show, and the automotive know-how that has made him famous. He begins with his own story—how he went from flat broke to a seat at the table with some of history’s most iconic car guys. His road to the top is full of dangerous twists and hilarious turns, with a few precipitous cliffs in between, including getting shot defending his beloved 1965 Mustang fastback from carjackers, blowing out of town Fear-and-Loathing style, and picking up chicks and vagrants along the way. 
    Rawlings then takes readers behind the scenes of Fast N’ Loud, the series, sharing details on everything from the toughest car to restore to the easiest, his favorite restorations, travel and war anecdotes, and the best and worst cars to make it to the small screen. He finishes with a handy guide for classic and antique car enthusiasts that includes insider tricks of the trade. Want to know how to find a Model-T in mint condition?
