What keeps us from flying off the spinning earth? Gravity, you say?

But what if gravity has an invisible partner — a powerful force that explains why clouds float, what triggers rainfall, and how birds fly?

Could such a force reside in electrical charge?

Renowned scientist and author, Gerald Pollack returns with a paradigm-shifting exploration into the profound significance of electricity in nature. Pollack addresses everyday phenomena we often take for granted, revealing a complex web of contradictions. In response, he presents a fresh vision, demonstrating how a simple, direct understanding emerges from recognizing the power of electrical charge.

Topics covered range from the origins of weather and gravity to how birds and airplanes fly, and how fish swim. You'll also learn what turns the Earth every 24 hours — and even how sailboats can sail almost directly into the wind.
