What Really Causes Global Warming?: Greenhouse Gases or Ozone Depletion?
ISBN: 9781630477981 / Angielski / Miękka / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Earth s temperature is determined by the thickness of the ozone layer. When this layer is depleted, more solar ultraviolet radiation reaches Earth, increasing temperatures. The ozone layer has been depleted since the 1960s by human-manufactured gases and since 2014 by extensive lava flows from Baroarbunga volcano in central Iceland. What Really Causes Global Warming shows that the greenhouse warming theory cannot explain recent climate change. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions would be a total waste of money."

Vesuvius
ISBN: 9780674503779 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Volcanoes around the world have their own legends, and many have wrought terrible devastation, but none has caught the imagination like Vesuvius. We now know that immense eruptions destroyed Bronze Age settlements around Vesuvius, but the Romans knew nothing of those disasters and were lulled into complacency—much as we are today—by its long period of inactivity. None of the nearly thirty eruptions since AD 79 has matched the infamous cataclysm that destroyed Pompeii and Herculaneum within hours. Nearly two thousand years later, the allure of the volcano remains—as evidenced by its...

Volcanoes of Europe
ISBN: 9781780460420 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Volcanoes are intimately tied to the history of humanity, they help forge the Earth's crust and atmosphere, and they are very much an active feature of today. The archaeology of most ancient civilizations of Europe preserves the imprint of spectacular and volcanic phenomena while, in modern times life is still affected by large eruptions from Europe's active volcanic systems. The eruption of Santorini, some 3600 years ago in the Aegean, probably inspired the Greek fables of Atlantis; the eruptions of Etna on Sicily are the origin of the forges of Cyclops and other myths; and the regular...

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...

Silencing the Bomb: One Scientist's Quest to Halt Nuclear Testing
ISBN: 9780231182485 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In December 2016, the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists moved their iconic "Doomsday Clock" thirty seconds forward to two and a half minutes to midnight, the latest it has been set since 1952, the year of the first United States hydrogen bomb test. But a group of scientists--geologists, engineers, and physicists--has been fighting to turn back the clock. Since the dawn of the Cold War, they have advocated a halt to nuclear testing, their work culminating in the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, which still awaits ratification from China, Iran, North Korea--and the United States. The backbone of the...
