Sinopsis

"Mega Lightning" explores the awe-inspiring phenomenon of the largest lightning strikes ever recorded, delving into the science behind their formation and impact on our planet. It examines the atmospheric conditions, like temperature gradients and humidity levels, that allow for the build-up of immense electrical charges within storm clouds. You'll discover how these extreme weather events play a crucial role in Earth's electrical balance and atmospheric chemistry, altering the composition of the atmosphere by producing nitrogen oxides. Scientists use advanced tools, including ground-based observation networks and satellite-based sensors, to study mega lightning. The book journeys through the history of lightning research, from Benjamin Franklin's experiments to current satellite detection methods. Understanding mega lightning offers insights into the effects of climate change on storm behavior, which is vital for improving weather forecasting and mitigating risks associated with severe weather. The book progresses by introducing the fundamental principles of lightning formation, then diving into the atmospheric conditions that generate mega strikes. It investigates the technologies used to detect these events and concludes by exploring their implications for climate change and human safety. This targeted approach allows for an in-depth examination of the unique challenges of studying these rare occurrences.

    Set in the urban pastoral of an East London postcode, Feral Borough asks what it means to call a place home, and how best to share that home with its non-human inhabitants. Meryl Pugh reimagines the wild as 'feral', recording the fauna and flora of Leytonstone in prose as incisive as it is lyrical. Here, on the edge of the city, red kite and parakeets thrive alongside bluebell and yarrow, a muntjac deer is glimpsed in the undergrowth, and an escaped boa constrictor appears on the High Road. In this subtle, captivating book – part herbarium, part bestiary and part memoir – Pugh explores the effects of loss, and lockdown, on human well-being, conjuring the local urban environment as a site for healing and connection.
    'A subtle, heartfelt and affecting book about home, the city and the self -- Pugh reminds us that nowhere, however urban, is without nature; that wherever we go, the intricate web of life continues to shape and change us.' Rebecca Tamás
