Life and Lightning: The Good Things of Lightning

Rating:
Summary: Unknown benefits of a destructive natural force
Review: I was generally surprised to learn of the many positive benefits of lightning. I typically associated lightning with destruction and chaos.

The book was written simply enough for a layman (like me!) however, it over simplified the subject matter, in certain points.

Strong points: Brief and factual

Weak points: Poor editing, lack of illustrations, lack of background information.

I would recommend this book to anyone who is seeking a different perspective on the subject of lightning. It offers a different take on the phenomena from standard encyclopedia references.
