Active Faults of the World
ISBN: 9780521190855 / Angielski / Twarda / 634 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Providing the first worldwide survey of active earthquake faults, this book focuses on those described as 'seismic time bombs' with the potential to destroy large cities in the developing world such as Port au Prince, Kabul, Tehran and Caracas. Leading international earthquake expert, Robert Yeats, explores both the regional and plate-tectonic context of active faults, providing the background for seismic hazard evaluation in planning large-scale projects such as nuclear power plants or hydroelectric dams. He also highlights work done in more advanced seismogenic countries like Japan, the...

Eruptions That Shook the World
ISBN: 9780521641128 / Angielski / Twarda / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What does it take for a volcanic eruption to really shake the world? Did volcanic eruptions extinguish the dinosaurs, or help humans to evolve, only to decimate their populations with a super-eruption 73,000 years ago? Did they contribute to the ebb and flow of ancient empires, the French Revolution and the rise of fascism in Europe in the 19th century? These are some of the claims made for volcanic cataclysm. Volcanologist Clive Oppenheimer explores rich geological, historical, archaeological and palaeoenvironmental records (such as ice cores and tree rings) to tell the stories behind some...

Fifty Six Days: An Earthquake in Japan
ISBN: 9781497322158 / Angielski / Miękka / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It was fifty-six days from the moment the earth sent its first warning of the catastrophe to come until the day it took a brief pause for breath. Fifty-six days that saw one of history's most violent earthquakes followed by a tsunami towering over an entire coastline and finally a nuclear disaster that threatened the forced evacuation of Tokyo. Fifty-six days of the world's first digital mega-disaster when Japan would shift closer to continental America sending shockwaves that would be heard in space and ultimately moving the earth on its axis. This is the story of how it unfurled around me....
