Some atmospheric disturbances produce the kind of extreme weather events making the national and international new headlines on a regular basis. Just about everyone is interested in knowing more about hurricanes, typhoons and tornadoes.

Thunder and lightning affect many people but how many of us understand what generates such massive electrical discharges and why they occur more at some times of year than at others? A popular addition to the Science Spectra Series, Weather Rage explains the origin and nature of different types of weather observed across many areas of the world - and those that occur on different 'scales'. Presenting an in-depth look at the main factors underlying weather, this book will be an extremely useful guide for all meteorology students and practitioners as well as a source of reference for all those with an interest in the weather.

The Weathermen. The Symbionese Liberation Army. The FALN. The Black Liberation Army. The names seem quaint now, but there was a stretch of time in America when there was on average more than one significant terrorist act in the U.S. every week. The FBI combated these groups and others as nodes in a single revolutionary underground, dedicated to the violent overthrow of the American government. Thus began a decade-long battle between the FBI and these homegrown terrorists, compellingly and thrillingly documented in Days of Rage.

Scott came home that evening expecting his normally calm, upscale suburban neighborhood to be normal and calm. The sight of police, fire department, and helicopters hovering above his house did not seem normal and calm. The crashed car on the lawn near the front entrance of his house foretold the chaos within. A detective warned him that the scene inside would be traumatic. The sight of his wife sitting in a pool of blood on the living room floor was a bit more than traumatic. The sight of blood on the walls, on the ceiling, everywhere, was a bit more than traumatic. But the sight of a man's savagely butchered body on the kitchen floor took traumatic to an entirely new level. What happened that fateful evening? Who killed the guy in the kitchen? And by what miracle did his wife survive? What led to that fateful evening was years in the making. From the very beginning, things between husband and wife were not at all what they seemed. Someone in the household was not who they claimed to be. But then, neither was the other someone in the household. As old secrets came to light, it became clear the marriage could not survive. But this is not a story of betrayal, of infidelity. This story goes much deeper than that. This story is about paths that crossed before either of them was born.

An organization intentionally brought together two people who never should have even known each other. The fallout resulted in someone’s desperate attempt to cover for a botched covert operation that occurred years earlier. No one had any idea what a colossal mistake that was until it was much too late to reverse course. As things unfolded, a realization emerged that divorce, though not yet on the table, could not be an option. There were too many secrets, too much emotional pain, and too many people working behind the scenes to ensure an unthinkable outcome. One of the two, husband or wife, simply could not to survive.
