Sinopse

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.

Sherpa legend told of an enchanted valley with an invisible village, Shangri-La, that was said to be a place of great beauty. 
The valley became the nemesis of legendary mountaineer Edmund Hillary, who travelled there to climb 7,129m Baruntse, but succumbed to the irresistible draw of Makalu, the great black mountain which towered over the valley. Makalu vanquished him, and he was never the same climber again. 
Fifty years later, Mark Horrell embarked on a trek up the Barun Valley to follow in Hillary’s footsteps – at least some of the way. He hoped to climb Baruntse, but when he arrived, he learned of a terrible accident that had shaken the climbing community and would threaten his plans. 
Yet one of the virtues of climbing in the Himalayas is that just reaching a mountain can be a great adventure. Join Mark on an entertaining journey across jungle, moorland, hill and valley to the frozen heights of the Barun Plateau.

From former SNL "Weekend Update" host and legendary stand-up Colin Quinn comes a controversial and laugh-out-loud investigation into cultural and ethnic stereotypes. Colin Quinn has noticed a trend during his decades on the road-that Americans' increasing political correctness and sensitivity have forced us to tiptoe around the subjects of race and ethnicity altogether. Colin wants to know: What are we all so afraid of? Every ethnic group has differences, everyone brings something different to the table, and this diversity should be celebrated, not denied. So why has acknowledging these cultural differences become so taboo?   In The Coloring Book, Colin, a native New Yorker, tackles this issue head-on while taking us on a trip through the insane melting pot of 1970s Brooklyn, the many, many dive bars of 1980s Manhattan, the comedy scene of the 1990s, and post-9/11 America. He mixes his incredibly candid and hilarious personal experiences with no-holds-barred observations to definitively decide, at least in his own mind, which stereotypes are funny, which stereotypes are based on truths, which have become totally distorted over time, and which are actually offensive to each group, and why.  As it pokes holes in the tapestry of fear that has overtaken discussions about race, The Coloring Book serves as an antidote to our paralysis when it comes to laughing at ourselves . . . and others.
