War hero Jason Battle must stop a scheme to destroy an American town and collect a ten million dollar bounty from terrorists. Small time criminals broke into a military base and stole three ground-penetrating missiles and launched them deep into the earth to the largest lake of natural gas in the world, fifty miles long and two miles deep. The explosion was far beyond their expectations and created a massive tornado of fire six miles high that headed toward the town of Midway Oklahoma. After the Sheriff and military failed to stop the terrorist¿s with their powerful missiles and a new targeting system that controlled more than a thousand additional weapons from the base, it was up to Jason Battle to save the town from a fiery death and total destruction.

With 16 pages of black-and-white illustrations In Storm Kings, Lee Sandlin retraces America's fascination and unique relationship to tornadoes and the weather. From Ben Franklin's early experiments, to "the great storm debates" of the nineteenth century, to heartland life in the early twentieth century, Sandlin shows how tornado chasing helped foster the birth of meteorology, recreating with vivid descriptions some of the most devastating storms in America's history. Drawing on memoirs, letters, eyewitness testimonies, and numerous archives, Sandlin brings to life the forgotten characters and scientists that changed a nation and how successive generations came to understand and finally coexist with the spiraling menace that could erase lives and whole towns in an instant.

A Gallery of Combustion and Fire is the first book to provide a graphical perspective of the extremely visual phenomenon of combustion in full color. It is designed primarily to be used in parallel with, and supplement existing combustion textbooks that are usually in black and white, making it a challenge to visualize such a graphic phenomenon. Each image includes a description of how it was generated, which is detailed enough for the expert but simple enough for the novice. Processes range from small scale academic flames up to full scale industrial flames under a wide range of conditions such as low and normal gravity, atmospheric to high pressures, actual and simulated flames, and controlled and uncontrolled flames. Containing over 500 color images, with over 230 contributors from over 75 organizations, this volume is a valuable asset for experts and novices alike.
