Shaken in the night: A Survivor's Story from the Yellowstone Earthquake of 1959.
ISBN: 9781499607673 / Angielski / Miękka / 56 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Deep into the night of August 17, 1959, a group of campers in West Yellowstone's Madison River Canyon become suddenly and keenly aware that the earth on which they sleep is a living, breathing planet. What is a simple shudder for Earth is a life-changing event for its inhabitants. Five of those are members of the Painter family. Anita and her twin sister had just ten days ago turned twelve, and the family's trek to Yellowstone is a birthday celebration. Little do they know this night will slam the two girls, on the cusp of youth, headlong into adulthood. The 7.5 magnitude earthquake...

Recent Developments in Volcanology
ISBN: 9781632395382 / Angielski / Twarda / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The recent advances in the field of volcanology are elucidated in this profound book. This book provides a geologic-petrologic explanation of prominent volcanic fields across the world which is less discussed in international literature on volcanology. It also provides discourses and inferences about the outcomes associated with geophysical methods. It emphasizes on numerous situations reflecting large-scale volcanisms on Earth, related both with active or intra-plate margins. Several huge volcanic networks of Eastern countries have been discussed in this book, inclusive of those in Mongolia,...

Volcanoes and the Making of Scotland
ISBN: 9781780460567 / Angielski / Twarda / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Scotland's mountains and glens retain the secrets of a long and frequently violent geological history that has gone into their making. Volcanoes have played a major role in the creation of Scotland, and while the youngest - a mere 60,000,000 years old - were responsible for much of the scenic splendor of the Inner Hebrides, the rocks composing many of the famous Scottish landforms - such as those of Glencoe and Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh - are also the direct result of volcanism. Volcanoes and the Making of Scotland goes back in time from the most recent examples to volcanoes of the obscure...

Tambora: The Eruption That Changed the World
ISBN: 9780691168623 / Angielski / Miękka / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When Indonesia's Mount Tambora erupted in 1815, it unleashed the most destructive wave of extreme weather the world has witnessed in thousands of years. The volcano's massive sulfate dust cloud enveloped the Earth, cooling temperatures and disrupting major weather systems for more than three years. Communities worldwide endured famine, disease, and civil unrest on a catastrophic scale. Here, Gillen D'Arcy Wood traces Tambora's global and historical reach: how the volcano's three-year climate change regime initiated the first worldwide cholera pandemic, expanded opium markets in...

Active Global Seismology: Neotectonics and Earthquake Potential of the Eastern Mediterranean Region
ISBN: 9781118944981 / Angielski / Twarda / 306 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Neotectonics involves the study of the motions and deformations of the Earth's crust that are current or recent in geologic time. The Mediterranean region is one of the most important regions for neotectonics and related natural hazards. This volume focuses on the neotectonics of the Eastern Mediterranean region, which has experienced many major extensive earthquakes, including the devastating Izmit, Turkey earthquake on August 17, 1999. The event lasted for 37 seconds, killing around 17,000 people, injuring 44,000 people, and leaving approximately half a million people homeless. Since...

Impact of Tectonic Activity on Ancient Civilizations: Recurrent Shakeups, Tenacity, Resilience, and Change
ISBN: 9781498514279 / Angielski / Twarda / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Impact of Tectonic Activity on Ancient Civilizations: Recurrent Shakeups, Tenacity, Resilience, and Change observes a remarkable spatial correspondence of zones of active tectonism (i.e. plate boundaries in the earth's crust) with the most complex cultures of antiquity ("great ancient civilizations"), and continues to explore the meaning of this relationship from a number of independent angles. Due to resulting site damage, this distribution is counter-intuitive. Nevertheless, systematic differences between "tectonic" and "quiescent" cultures show that tectonic activity corresponded in...

Earthquake Time Bombs
ISBN: 9781107085244 / Angielski / Twarda / 361 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In a media interview in January 2010, scientist Robert Yeats sounded the alarm on Port-au-Prince, Haiti, as an 'earthquake time bomb', a region at critical risk of major seismic activity. One week later, a catastrophic earthquake struck the city, leaving over 100,000 dead and triggering a humanitarian crisis. In this timely study, Yeats sheds new light on other earthquake hotspots around the world and the communities at risk. He examines these seismic threats in the context of recent cultural history, including economic development, national politics and international conflicts. Descriptions...

ISBN: 9781505453515 / Angielski / Miękka / 126 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is dedicated to the twenty-eight victims of the 1959 Yellowstone earthquake, and their families. Nineteen of those people still lie beneath the 300 foot deep slide. A 7.5 magnitude earthquake shook an 8,000 foot mountain loose, splitting it in half and sending a landslide of dirt, rocks, boulders and pine trees cascading down like a waterfall in the moonlight. The slide crushed cars, tents and trailers in a matter of minutes and it forever changed many lives.
