What would happen if a major catastrophe struck the United States? Using past natural disasters as an example, this detailed - and disturbing - collection from History examines tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes and even an asteroid impact, to see what disasters could be coming our way. The same geological forces that ripped apart the ancient world still roil beneath the surface today. Will history repeat itself? What are experts doing to avoid a landslide of death and destruction in the event of an eruption at Mt. Rainier? Would the people - and skyscrapers - of present-day Chicago survive a high-speed tornado like the one that hit in 1967? And what would happen if a Category 3 hurricane were to hit New York City? Computer animations, models, and re-creations providing a jaw-dropping view of what a storm like this could do to the Big Apple.

Written by a father-son team of prominent geologists, Donald and David Hyndman, NATURAL HAZARDS AND DISASTERS, Third Edition, emphasizes Earth, the atmosphere, and the hazardous natural processes and events that dramatically alter them. In teaching introductory environmental and physical geology courses, the authors found that topics involving natural hazards are among the most interesting for students like you. They also realized that employing natural hazards as a thematic focus and context motivates their students to learn basic scientific concepts. You begin each chapter by reading about the underlying geological processes as well as the key terms that describe them. Next, you explore the impact these processes have on humans (as well as the impact that humans have on the processes). Finally, the authors analyze strategies for mitigating these hazards' physical and financial harm, and present prospects for the future. With over 900 images and illustrations, this third edition will certainly catch and retain your attention.Author: Donald Hyndman, David Hyndman Paperback: 592 pages Company: Brooks Cole (2010-08-25) ISBN: 0538737522 List Price: $194.95 Amazon Price: $90.00 Used Price: $59.27 
Jake and Tor return in this long-awaited sequel to the bestselling Bareback! Having bought the ranch they've worked on for so long, they're now the proud owners of a spread of their own. There's more than enough on their plate coping with their new responsibilities and their arguments over ranch management, and it's not long before even more trouble hits. When he learns his sister has died in an automobile accident, Jake is crushed. His grief is tempered by Tor's loving support, but they're forced to be apart while Jake deals with the family. When they bring Jake's nephew back to the ranch, things stretch to the breaking point. From the day to day difficulties of running the ranch to dealing with a teenager who's just lost his mother, Jake and Tor wonder if they'll be able to survive. In the fury of the storm, the two men fall back on the one thing that can get them through. Each other. Can they keep it together when everything seems to be falling apart around them?

Earthquakes, floods, fires, tornadoes, hurricanes-pretty scary words, especially for anyone who lives in a place that has experienced any of these events. In particular, a child who has survived a natural disaster, or seen one on television, may have trouble falling asleep, have nightmares, or start worrying too much. This book will help. I'll Know What to Do looks at each natural disaster separately. First it gives the facts: What causes an earthquake? Can we predict a tornado? Why are mud slides dangerous? How are fires tracked? Then it provides important tips on prevention, safety, and what to do in case disaster does strike. Perhaps most important, though, the book explores the feelings that often emerge in the aftermath, and offers useful techniques to help young people work through them. This is the first book of its kind-a manual for helping kids understand and cope with their feelings and reactions to these frightening events.Author: Bonnie S.

Natural Disasters, 8th edition, is marked by major changes in organization and expanded coverage of weather and climate. The discussion of natural disasters is based on 4 main energy flows: 1) Earth's internal energy flow underlies earthquakes and volcanoes, 2) the external energy flow from the Sun fuels weather and climate including tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, wildfires, 3) gravity acts to pull down mass movements of earth and snow, and 4) impacts with asteroids and comets can have major effects on life. The book focuses on the Earth's natural processes and the disasters that occur when the Earth concentrates its energy and releases it to causing death and destruction. Throughout the book, certain themes are maintained: energy sources underlying disasters plate tectonics and climate change; earth processes operating in rock, water, and atmosphere; significance of geologic time; complexities of multiple variables operating simultaneously; detailed and readable case studies.Author: Patrick Leon Abbott Paperback: 512 pages Company: McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math (2011-01-31) ISBN: 0073369373 List Price: Amazon Price: $99.55 Used Price: $80.00

A Category 5 hurricane is bearing down on Galveston Island. Unknown to the sixty thousand residents desperately trying to flee the wrath of Mother Nature, there is an even greater threat to their safety than the storm. An angry man is secretly planning revenge that could set in motion a chain reaction along the entire Gulf Coast, rivaling the destruction of Hiroshima.Written before Katrina and Rita, author Rod Tanner evokes through harrowing events and compelling characters the human story of a natural disaster. FACTS: The storm surge is responsible for ninety percent of the deaths that occur during a hurricane. The Houston-Galveston area has a population of over six million people. Over a million of those live in a high-risk area of major flooding. The Houston-Galveston area has more than three hundred chemical, petro-chemical plants and refineries clumped together in a fifty-mile area. These facilities use and produce some of the most toxic and deadly gasses on the planet. SURGE is the best thrill-ride to come out of the ocean since JAWS.
