Rezension zu „Lightning “
''This is an extremely comprehensive - and hence, incredibly useful - scholarly compendium of all that is known about lightning, its causes, and the many different ways in which lightning influences our world and our human activities. This resource has more than 300 top quality illustrations, including six pages of dramatic colour plates, 70 tables, and over 6000 bibliographic and reference entries … this magnificent work, so useful both for teaching at postgraduate level and for reference, closes with a very comprehensive index.'
