Les franciliens ne sont-ils pas encore quelque peu esclaves du « temps » météorologique ? Géographes, juristes, historiens de l'art, archéologues, plasticiens ont confronté leurs regards sur les orages, le « temps » d'une journée. Météore peu fréquent en Île-de-France, l'orage est pourtant ... désordre et risques. Les milieux urbains sont vulnérables aux effets de la foudre, du vent violent et des précipitations de forte intensité. L'artificialisation des substrats accroît le ruissellement des pluies. L'afflux brutal d'eau polluée met en péril la qualité des sols cultivés et des stocks d'approvisionnement en eau, la circulation automobile sur la voirie inondée ... drame et spectacle Une grande richesse d'images s'attache à la représentation des nuages menaçants, des éclairs et des arcs-en-ciel dans la peinture, la poésie et la chanson populaire.

Thunderstorm activity is characterized by a pronounced spatiotemporal variability. For several countries in Europe, this variability is analyzed and attributed to large-scale drivers using multivariate statistical methods. The analysis of atmospheric teleconnections reveals a link between the long-term behavior of thunderstorm activity and natural climate variability.

This book is a comprehensive resource on lightning and describes the unique roles which the state of Arizona has with regard to lightning. 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.

Dark Days at Noon provides a broad history of wildfire in North America, from pre-European contact to the present. Edward Struzik sheds light on what may happen in the future if we do not learn to live with fire as Indigenous people once did, so that we may learn from how we managed fire in the past and apply those lessons in the future.
