Published in 1890, 'Lightning, Thunder and Lightning Conductors' by Gerald Molloy is a scientific exploration of the phenomena of lightning and thunder. The book examines the nature, causes, and effects of these atmospheric events, alongside the design and function of lightning conductors. It discusses early experiments in electricity, including Benjamin Franklin's kite experiment, and provides insights into the electrical properties of thunderstorms. This work is notable for its detailed analysis of atmospheric electricity and its contributions to understanding how to mitigate lightning's destructive impacts.
