Narrative of an Excursion to the Lake Amsanctus and to Mount Vultur in Apulia in 1834
ISBN: 9781108029636 / Angielski / Miękka / 62 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This short but distinctive paper was published in 1835 by Charles Daubeny (1795 1867), who began his career as a physician but soon found his passion to be volcanos. At this time, Daubeny held chairs in chemistry and botany at Oxford. He had made many field trips to European volcanic regions between 1819 and 1825, was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1822, and in 1826 published the first edition of his famous Description of Active and Extinct Volcanos, of which a later version also appears in this series. Here Daubeny describes a winter trip to the Apulia (Puglia) region in the...

Earthquakes and Other Earth Movements
ISBN: 9781108072632 / Angielski / Miękka / 388 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. John Milne (1850 1913) was a professor of mining and geology at the Imperial College of Engineering, Tokyo. While living in Japan, Milne became very interested in seismology, prompted by a strong seismic shock he experienced in Tokyo in 1880. Sixteen years later Milne and two colleagues completed work on the first seismograph capable of recording major earthquakes. This book, originally published in London in 1886, explains why earthquakes happen and what effects they have on land and in the oceans. As Milne points out, Japan provided him with 'the opportunity of recording an earthquake every...

Advanced Networks, Algorithms and Modeling for Earthquake Prediction
ISBN: 9788792329578 / Angielski / Twarda / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Imagination depicts earthquakes as mysterious and magical events, but, as scientists, we also have to consider them from another, techincal perspective: they are natural phenomena that evolve with time and depend on a number of variables. With this in mind, we can start investigating the simplest and, at the same time, the most complex question: are earthquakes predictable?
If the answer is affirmative, what could the role of the extremely mature Information and Communication Technology (ICT) be in setting up an effective prediction process? How can artificial Intelligence... Imagination depicts earthquakes as mysterious and magical events, but, as scientists, we also have to consider them from another, techincal perspectiv...

No Apparent Danger: The True Story of Volcanic Disaster at Galeras and Nevado del Ruiz
ISBN: 9780060958909 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1985 in Columbia, more than 23,000 people died due to the government's failure to take seriously scientists' warnings about an imminent volcanic eruption at Nevado del Ruiz. In 1993, at Volcan Galeras, the death toll was smaller but no less tragic: despite seismic data that foretold possible disaster, an expedition of international scientists proceeded into the volcano. Two hours later, nine people were dead.Expertly detailing the turbulent history of Colombia, Victoria Bruce links together the stories of the heroes, villains, survivors, and victims of these two events. No Apparent...

The Astro-Geology of Earthquakes and Volcanoes
ISBN: 9780866904469 / Angielski / Miękka / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Worldwide, there are approximately eighteen annual earthquakes if magnitude 7.0 or higher. Using all the scientific tools available today, however, geologists and seismologists are unable to predict exactly when and where such an earthquake will occur. The best they can do is to identify areas that have a high probability for a severe earthquake. Astrology does more. The Astro-Geology of Earthquakes and Volcanoes is the result of Lind Weber's extensive research into the planetary influences related to earthquakes. After examining thousands of charts, he identified specific signatures for many...

Predicting the Unpredictable: The Tumultuous Science of Earthquake Prediction
ISBN: 9780691173306 / Angielski / Miękka / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. An earthquake can strike without warning and wreak horrific destruction and death, whether it's the catastrophic 2010 quake that took a devastating toll on the island nation of Haiti or a future great earthquake on the San Andreas Fault in California, which scientists know is inevitable. Yet despite rapid advances in earthquake science, seismologists still can't predict when the Big One will hit. Predicting the Unpredictable explains why, exploring the fact and fiction behind the science--and pseudoscience--of earthquake prediction. Susan Hough traces the continuing quest by...

Earthquakes: Models, Statistics, Testable Forecasts
ISBN: 9781118637920 / Angielski / Twarda / 306 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is the first comprehensive and methodologically rigorous analysis of earthquake occurrence. Models based on the theory of the stochastic multidimensional point processes are employed to approximate the earthquake occurrence pattern and evaluate its parameters. The Author shows that most of these parameters have universal values. These results help explain the classical earthquake distributions: Omori's law and the Gutenberg-Richter relation.
The Author derives a new negative-binomial distribution for earthquake numbers, instead of the Poisson distribution, and then determines a... This book is the first comprehensive and methodologically rigorous analysis of earthquake occurrence. Models based on the theory of the stochastic mul...

The Year Without Summer: 1816 and the Volcano That Darkened the World and Changed History

Like Winchester's Krakatoa, The Year Without Summer reveals a year of dramatic global change long forgotten by history In the tradition of Krakatoa, The World Without Us, and Guns, Germs and Steel comes a sweeping history of the year that became known as 18-hundred-and-froze-to-death. 1816 was a remarkable year mostly for the fact that there was no summer. As a result of a volcanic eruption at Mount Tambora in Indonesia, weather patterns were disrupted worldwide for months, allowing for excessive rain, frost, and snowfall through much of the...

Disaster Deferred: A New View of Earthquake Hazards in the New Madrid Seismic Zone
ISBN: 9780231151399 / Angielski / Miękka / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the winter of 1811-12, a series of large earthquakes in the New Madrid seismic zone-often incorrectly described as the biggest ever to hit the United States-shook the Midwest. Today the federal government ranks the hazard in the Midwest as high as California's and is pressuring communities to undertake expensive preparations for disaster. Coinciding with the two-hundredth anniversary of the New Madrid earthquakes, Disaster Deferred revisits these earthquakes, the legends that have grown around them, and the predictions of doom that have followed in their wake. Seth Stein clearly...
