A bolt of lightning can shatter an oak, spare a sleeping child, or leave strange marks on the skin. Camille Flammarion gathers the science and the astonishing anecdotes of thunderstorms: how lightning forms, how it strikes, and the freakish things it does to people and animals. Dramatic and fascinating. Stand safely inside a book about the storm.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
