Skyhorse Publishing Earthquake Prediction: Dawn of the New Seismology
Book SynopsisAn epoch-changing work on scientific developments which can save countless lives.Each year the world faces thousands of earthquakes of magnitude 5.0 or greater, resulting in devastating property destruction and tragic loss of life. To help avert these catastrophes, scientists have long searched for ways to predict when and where earthquakes will happen. The earth science establishment in the US says that earthquake prediction still lies outside the realm of possibility. But recent scientific developments across the globe suggest that seismic forecasting is on the horizon.Earthquake Prediction: Dawn of the New Seismology examines the latest scientific clues in hopes of discovering seismic precursors which may shed light on real earthquake prediction in the future. It is destined to be nothing less than an epoch-changing work, addressing this ancient enigma by joining the parts of a scientific detective story that ranges from the steppes of Russia to the coast of Chile, bringing to light astounding breakthroughs by researchers in Italy, India and elsewhere.Governments in countries such as China and Japan provide support for seismic forecasting, and it is time for our country to do the same. Earthquake Prediction makes the case, with an important message for the tens of millions of Americans on the US West Coast, the Mississippi River Valley, and other seismically active zones.Trade ReviewPraise for David Nabhan and his theory:“Nabhan’s theory deserves to be taken note of.” —Dr. Kate Hutton, chief seismologist, California Institute of Technology“This is simple but brilliant observation, followed by reasonable applications; impossible to dismiss as coincidence.” —Dr. Cort Stoskopf, Popular Science Radio“If you believe that predicting earthquakes is impossible than everything you think you know about it could be wrong.” —Thom Hartmann, RT Television“What if I were to tell you that nearly every single deadly Southern Californian earthquake in the past happened at dawn or at dusk and during a new or full moon?” —Paul Magers, news anchor, CBS 2, Los Angeles“If proven this would be the ‘Holy Grail’ of seismology.” —Conan Nolan, KNBC News, Los Angeles“Nabhan’s forecasts nailed three of the largest seismic events on the West Coast in 1996.” —Erin Aubrey, staff writer, Los Angeles Weekly“There you go; seems to me you’re right.” —George Noory, Coast to Coast AM“David Nabhan is the man who says he's worked out how to predict earthquakes in Southern California... quakes happen during either a new or a full moon, and within three hours of dawn or dusk.” —London Daily Mail“This is the first guy to go back and check what all those seismic events have in common? The idea that it just took somebody to say ‘let’s look and see if there’s a pattern’ is pretty shocking to me.” —Scott Cox, KERN TV/Radio“While some studies indicate that tidal effect may have an effect on smaller quakes, there’s no evidence they have an effect on bigger quakes.” —Dr. Tom Jordan, director, Southern California Earthquake Center“We’ve got a guy coming on who predicted a quake the last time on the show; I don’t know what to make of this earthquake prediction stuff.” —Howard Stern, Howard Stern Show“Ladies and gentlemen, you read it here first: Nabhan’s near dead-on calculation for the August 20 shaker near Wrightwood.” —Theresa Moreau, Pasadena Weekly“Whether or not Nabhan can predict earthquakes, he certainly predicts seismic skepticism.” —David Moye, America Online News“It’s such a no-no. Seismologists won’t even talk about it!” —Kate Delaney, America Tonight“Nabhan is confident enough in his work to urge government leaders to take action and prepare for major tremors during certain periods of time.” —Andrew Ireland, World Net Daily“There’s a huge difference between a prediction and an advisory. But the hardships unprepared Valley residents face if the Big One hits? That’s a promise.” —Jeff Jardin, Modesto Bee“It’s simply mind-boggling that with the evidence Nabhan has placed in front of scientific and governmental authorities over the last two decades, that they are still reluctant to move forward to at least consider the advisory system he proposes. Simply mind-boggling.” —Rob Mc Connell, The ‘X’ Zone radio show“What’s wrong with trying to warn people? How does this hurt anyone?” —Wendy Snyder, WGN, Chicago“We’re not interested in anyone saying the sky’s falling, but David Nabhan is a rational man who has studied earthquakes seriously and has intelligent, useful information to offer.” —Whitley Strieber, Dreamland radio show“An intriguing and fascinating book. Nabhan’s simply asking us to look at the data, the way science used to be done. Here’s the evidence, you look at it and figure out what it means.” —Dave Bowman, KFIV, Modesto“David Nabhan is no stranger to controversy for his belief that we can predict earthquakes to some degree. His theory is pinned to gravitational tides, and these are immense forces!” —Faune Riggin, Morning News, KZIM & KSIM, Southeastern Missouri“This is a no-brainer for me; facts are facts.” —Rick Wiles, Trunews“His ideas warrant better scrutiny, because maybe there is a grain of truth in his hypotheses and all of us deserve the best chance to survive the next Big One.” —David Fox, Anchorage Press“This is the multi-billion dollar question.

Taylor Trade Publishing Heaven and Earth: Global Warming, the Missing
Book SynopsisClimate, sea level, and ice sheets have always changed, and the changes observed today are less than those of the past. Climate changes are cyclical and are driven by the Earth’s position in the galaxy, the sun, wobbles in the Earth’s orbit, ocean currents, and plate tectonics. In previous times, atmospheric carbon dioxide was far higher than at present but did not drive climate change. No runaway greenhouse effect or acid oceans occurred during times of excessively high carbon dioxide. During past glaciations, carbon dioxide was higher than it is today. The non-scientific popular political view is that humans change climate. Do we have reason for concern about possible human-induced climate change? This book’s 504 pages and over 2,300 references to peer-reviewed scientific literature and other authoritative sources engagingly synthesize what we know about the sun, earth, ice, water, and air. Importantly, in a parallel to his 1994 book challenging “creation science,” Telling Lies for God, Ian Plimer describes Al Gore’s book and movie An Inconvenient Truth as long on scientific “misrepresentations.” “Trying to deal with these misrepresentations is somewhat like trying to argue with creationists,” he writes, “who misquote, concoct evidence, quote out of context, ignore contrary evidence, and create evidence ex nihilo.”Trade ReviewThis is a very powerful, clear, understandable and extremely useful book . . . [Plimer] convincingly criticizes the UN, the IPCC, U.K. and U.S. politicians, as well as Hollywood show business celebrities. He strictly distinguishes science from environmental activism, politics, and opportunism. -- Vadav Klaus, President, The European Union... a damning critique of the 'evidence' underpinning man-made global warming. -- Kimberley A. Strassel * The Wall Street Journal *...a brilliantly argued book... Heaven and Earth is an evidence-based attack on conformity and orthodoxy, including my own, and a reminder to respect informed dissent and beware of ideology subverting evidence. -- Paul Sheehan * Sydney Morning Herald *...the best book on science and scientists I have ever read. -- Andrew Alexander * Daily Mail (UK), (Uk) *Only a geological perspective can provide a proper view of climate change. Professor Plimer’s book does a masterful job of demonstrating that Nature rules the climate, not human activity. -- S. Fred Singer, Professor Emeritus of Environmental Sciences, University of Virginia...[A] wonderfully comprehensive and fearless book... If there are any willing to hear some truly inconvenient truths on the stampeding advocacy of global warming, Mr. Plimer's book is a collection of some of the sternest. * The Globe and Mail *...[A]rguably no one is more responsible for the shift in opinion than University of Adelaide geologist Ian Plimer, whose new book Heaven and Earth: Global Warming, the Missing Science is an authoritative scientific refutation of the claims of human-caused global warming. * RealClearPolitics *…a bible for climate change skeptics. * Financial Times *For those who want to take a thinking approach to global warming untainted by politics or faith, Heaven and Earth is a worthwhile consideration. * Midwest Book Review *Plimer will convince you. -- Energy, Environment, & Earth blog...the climate sceptic bible... * The Guardian *

Bellevue Literary Press Water, Ice & Stone: Science and Memory on the
Book SynopsisJohn Burroughs Medal for Distinguished Natural History BookPEN/Martha Albrand Award Finalist“[Green’s] prose rings with the elemental clarity of the ice he knows so well.” —PEN Awards Committee citationA classic of contemporary nature writing, the award-winning Water, Ice & Stone is both a scientific and poetic journey into Antarctica, addressing the ecological importance of the continent within the context of climate change. Bill Green has been traveling to this remote and primordial place at the bottom of the Earth since 1968. With this book he focuses on the McMurdo Dry Valleys—an area that is deceptively timeless as a stark landscape of rock and ice. Here, Green delves into the geochemistry of the region and discovers a wealth of data, which vividly speaks to the health and climate of the larger world.Bill Green is a geochemist and professor emeritus at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. He first traveled to Antarctica in 1968 and began conducting research there in 1980. He is also the author of Boltzmann’s Tomb: Travels in Search of Science.Trade ReviewJohn Burroughs Medal for Distinguished Natural History BookPEN/Martha Albrand Award Finalist“[Green’s] prose rings with the elemental clarity of the ice he knows so well.” —PEN Awards Committee citation“Nature writing of a very high order . . . A joyride for those who enjoy deep explorations of logic, human frailty and the laws of nature.” —San Francisco Chronicle“Brilliant. . . . Resembles at various times the work of Stephen Jay Gould, Loren Eiseley and Barry Lopez, but also Primo Levi’s The Periodic Table and the poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins and the writer of Ecclesiastes. It’s the kind of book that makes the reviewer want to quote whole paragraphs.” —Plain Dealer“Among his many accomplishments, [Green] offhandedly makes the vocabulary of science accessible to the lay reader. He is at ease in the kingdom of poetry—just as much as he is (warily) at ease in the frozen and eerily beautiful Antarctic landscape.” —Boston Globe“Some of the prettiest prose ever devoted to the subject of water and lakes and rivers, clouds and rain and fog. A beautiful little book; it will go on the shelf with the other books I read for the love of their words.” —Houston Chronicle“A lucid, wondrous account. . . . This authoritative yet lyrical book blends science with art in the enthusiasm that Green feels at being the creator of a new understanding where none was before.” —Winston-Salem Journal“Compelling. . . . This book is not only filled with wonder, but also hope.” —Cincinnati Post“A magical work of meditation and precise science.” —ISLE: Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and Environment“Poetic and passionate. . . . Green affirms the fact that science, like art, is rooted in pure imagination.” —Booklist (starred review)“Wonderful. . . . In evocative language, Green successfully moves between arresting natural history and sophisticated but accessible philosophy of science. . . . With gripping accounts of a number of near death experiences added to the mix, the whole is a thoroughly enjoyable and remarkably informative exposition of the life of a field scientist.” —Publishers Weekly“Finely honed flashes of pure scientific writing.” —Kirkus Reviews
