Not only is it spectacular, it is also admired, feared, and misunderstood, but its knowledge has come of age in the last two decades. This book describes why Arizona can be called the ?Lightning Photography Capital of the U.S.?, how the general public and Native Americans in Arizona have viewed lightning, and when and where lightning occurs and impacts people and resources in Arizona. It contains summaries of interviews with current and former University of Arizona staff who invented real-time lightning detection in the late 1970s and how subsequent lightning research in Arizona has been globally significant. The authors are very well acquainted with and up to date on these topics. The style of this book is active and somewhat scholarly but readable by the nonprofessional with a general interest in lightning. What is lightning? How does lightning affect Arizona? Why do photographers come to Arizona for lightning photographs? What is unique about Arizona lightning? How is lightning detected in Arizona and around the world? This book tells you answers to these questions. This book is intended for a broad audience comprised of visitors, interested lay public, a variety of scientific disciplines, media, medicine, lightning safety, and fire weather. It is suitable for readers desiring a general overview of lightning, especially in Arizona, but also for those who want to know specifically about the topic. 606 $aLightning 606 $aThunderstorms 615 0$aLightning. 615 0$aThunderstorms. 676 $a551.5632 700 $aHolle$b Ronald L.$01349871 702 $aZhang$b Daile 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910686772603321 996 $aFlashes of Brilliance$93087699 997 $aUNINA
