Igor Fedorovich Fedotov – Protection of a Person from Being Killed by Lightning. Popular Science Publication-2
This book explores the science of lightning and human safety through seven key topics. It begins with an examination of lightning types and the structure of the electrical discharge channel. The rarity of winter lightning is explained, along with a critical look at why Benjamin Franklin’s traditional lightning rod may fail to divert a strike when the charge is below the object’s height.
The direction of lightning’s electrical discharge is analyzed, and practical protection methods are provided for individuals outside permanent shelter—whether on a garden plot in a horticultural non-commercial partnership, in a village, or other settlements. Separate guidance covers safety for those in water or on land. The book also presents evidence on why lightning kills men more often than women.
Written in a popular science style, this volume offers a detailed, factual approach to understanding and mitigating one of nature’s most dangerous phenomena. Price: 1887.00 RUR.
