Wind is one of the strongest forces of nature. Its energy can be harnessed and used in many ways. But uncontrolled wind can create havoc. The faster it moves, the stronger it gets; blowing away everything in its path — trees, houses, buildings and people. As it moves around the earth it shows its destructive nature through storms, cyclones and tornadoes. How does wind turn itself into a whirling pillar filled with thunderstorms? What can we do to protect ourselves from this disaster? Read this book to find out.
Hunting Nature's Fury by Roger Hill,Peter Bronski Pdf
Each year, at least 1,200 tornadoes batter the United States. While most occur in Tornado Alley--a vast, weather-beaten swath of middle America-in truth, tornadoes can occur almost anywhere. And where there are tornadoes, there are storm chasers. They come in all shapes and sizes, from hobbyists to researchers to professional chasers. There is one, however, who stands well above the rest: Roger Hill. Hunting Nature's Fury tells the story of Roger Hill and his love affair with storm chasing, taking you on a suspenseful and dramatic ride across the Great Plains, into the Deep South, even into the eyes of such recent hurricanes as Katrina. You'll accompany Hill as he braves close calls, makes history, and gains insight into the science of severe weather. This is a story of a storm chaser obsessed with the storms that almost killed him; of resiliency in the face of disaster; and of humility in the presence of the awesome power of nature. Includes eight color pages of jaw-dropping photos taken by Hill showing many of the storms chronicled in the book.
The earth we live on feels so firm under our feet. And yet its surface is made up of slowly moving plates and inside is a core of liquid rock and metal. Sometimes the plates move a little too quickly. They bump into each other or one slides under the other. At such times the earth shakes and rocks everything that is standing on it. Cracks appear and through it spews red-hot lava. As the ground shifts under the ocean large volumes of water are displaced and moved from one place to another. This is the inside story of our planet. What happens when the earth moves? Earthquakes! Volcanoes! Tsunamis!

Water is a necessary evil. This book proves this proverb right. Water causes havoc with floods and when it dries up, it again destroys human life. This book in an age-appropriate manner tells you how extreme weather destroys everything that comes in its way.
On Hallowed Ground was inspired by the everyday sights and sounds that encompass life on earth. Too often we pass by the familiar, the mundane, the common, with hardly a thought. All the poems in this collection have come from sitting with creation - sometimes for brief moments and sometimes for extended periods. As I sat with creation, inviting it into my soul, savouring its life and vitality, the words came. These poems are offered as the feast of those savoured moments....

Train of Thought presents a collection of poetry that contains a unique and intriguing compilation of themes. As bold as it is vulnerable, it combines elements to create a vivid depiction of a broad spectrum of emotions. Through her graceful writing ability, Barbara C. Johnson fearlessly captures the basis of life's emotional essence. Interspersed with her poems are short prose passages exploring her thoughts further. These verses seek to examine the positive and negative feelings that the experiences of life awakens. They trace a pathway of ideas and imagination, ultimately unveiling an effusive Train of Thought. She gathers the thoughts of what shed say when the time came Words Colliding Stumbling away in her brain And her mind attempting to release how she feels inside Fantasizing the fantasies Realizing the realities of a generalized speech broken down piece, by piece, by peace Yet there she stays speechless Silent Muted like Chaplins exquisite expressions She became a mime The sole narrator of gestures in her mind from Words Without Substance
The Economics of Natural and Unnatural Disasters by William S. Kern Pdf
Only recently have economists understood natural and unnatural disasters as economic phenomena to be formally analyzed. Given the magnitude of many recent disasters, their impact on local, regional, and national economies, and the coverage of their consequences in the popular press, it is puzzling that the attention of economists was for so long largely diverted from analysis of these events. This book presents a noted group of contributors who stand at the forefront of this increasingly important subdiscipline of economics the economics of disasters. The chapters they contribute cover a wide variety of events and delve into the human and economic impacts disasters impose on nations around the world. Several themes dominant in this literature are discussed. These include the ability of potential disaster victims to accurately assess the risks they face, the role of incentives in ensuring that mitigation efforts are undertaken, the adequacy of our evaluation of the impact of disasters on economies, and discussion of the effectiveness of current government policies toward disaster prevention and relief. These will in all likelihood continue to be topics of discussion in the future as well.
As Nature tires of human destruction, two sisters must face a changing environment that stands between them and survival. When Quinn and Riley set out on a family vacation with their parents, the trip ends before it begins. Mother Nature interferes with their plans, setting off a sequence of events that thrusts the teens into a hostile landscape. Stranded, with limited supplies, struggling to figure out who they can trust along the way, they must determine how to survive Nature's evolving fury.
Trauma isn't good for anyone, although poets seem to thrive on it. The more traumatic an event the more inspired they are to write about it. My best guess is that it is because the process of expressing one's feelings through writing is cathartic. So when a husband and father of three is suddenly gone, it is a boon to poetic activity. Do not be prejudicial, although Debra's book is scattered with poems about love lost, on the whole it is a very uplifting spiritually oriented book. Since Debra speaks English, basic Hindi and Arabic, she is familiar with three of the four most popular religions on Earth. Her commitment to Christianity, and her awareness of Islam and Sanatana Dharma is apparent as she spreads her wings and blesses her readers with her smiling words. Take a moment to be entertained by the poetic musings of Debra S Mascarenhas
