Kurzbeschreibung
This book, along with its supporting animated website, helps the reader to understand the propagation of waves within complex intelligent structures within buildings, and the operation of systems designed to protect these structures. It also comments on proper human behaviour during a lightning thunderstorm. The computer program along with the written text provides an excellent medium for study.
