Sinossi

Lightning Strikes Upward offers a captivating exploration into the world of upward lightning, an electrical discharge that originates from tall structures like skyscrapers and wind turbines. This book sheds light on how these human-made structures can initiate lightning strikes, challenging our conventional understanding of how lightning typically behaves. 

 
Intriguingly, upward lightning, while less frequent than its downward counterpart, presents unique risks due to its unpredictable nature and the potential damage it can inflict on critical infrastructure. 

 
The book progresses from foundational concepts of atmospheric electricity to the specific mechanisms behind upward lightning, differentiating it from downward strikes through comparative analysis and real-world case studies. It highlights the sophisticated tools used to study these events, such as high-speed cameras and lightning detection networks, and emphasizes applications in risk assessment and structural design. 

 
By connecting atmospheric science with structural engineering and meteorology, Lightning Strikes Upward provides valuable insights for professionals and enthusiasts alike, emphasizing the importance of understanding and mitigating the risks associated with this fascinating phenomenon.

    When astronomers wanted a telescope that could capture X-rays from celestial bodies, they looked to the lobster. When doctors wanted a medication that could stabilize Type II diabetic patients, they found their muse in a lizard. When scientists wanted to drastically reduce emissions in cement manufacturing, they observed how corals construct their skeletons in the sea. This is biomimicry in action: taking inspiration from nature to tackle human challenges. 
     
     
     
    In Nature's Wild Ideas, Kristy Hamilton goes behind the scenes of some of our most unexpected innovations. She traverses frozen waterfalls, treks through cloudy forests, discovers nests in the Mojave desert, scours intertidal zones, and takes us to the deepest oceans and near volcanoes to introduce us to the animals and plants that have inspired everything from cargo routing systems to non-toxic glues, and the men and women who followed that first spark of "I wonder" all the way to its conclusion, sometimes against all odds. 
     
     
     
    While the joy of scientific discovery is front and center, Nature's Wild Ideas is also a love letter to nature—complete with a deep message of conservation: If we are to continue learning from the creatures around us, we must protect their untamed homelands.

    Technology has long been a driving force in shaping the nature of employment. From the Industrial Revolution to the digital age, advancements in technology have continuously altered the way people work, the skills required, and the overall structure of industries. In today's fast-evolving world, the relationship between technology and employment is more complex than ever. While technological progress brings efficiency, innovation, and new job opportunities, it also presents significant challenges such as job displacement, skill gaps, and the need for constant adaptation. Understanding this dynamic is crucial for individuals, businesses, and policymakers as they navigate the ever-changing landscape of work. 
    The evolution of technology in the workforce has been marked by transformative shifts that redefine how labor is performed. Historically, the introduction of machines, automation, and digital tools has led to the replacement of certain manual and repetitive tasks. However, rather than eliminating jobs entirely, these changes have often resulted in the creation of new roles that require different skill sets. For example, while the rise of automated assembly lines reduced the need for traditional factory workers, it also increased demand for engineers, technicians, and software developers to maintain and improve these systems. Similarly, the widespread adoption of computers and the internet revolutionized industries by enabling remote work, e-commerce, and data-driven decision-making, further expanding employment opportunities in the digital sector.
