Book excerpt: Book one of The Cyannian Trilogy, 'Cataclysm Earth', progressively takes the reader through a fantasy of predictive science fiction. It begins on a factual note, submitting the idea that Earth's inhabitants have interfered with their planet's delicate ecology. Research and experimentation, affluent life-styles, immorality, deforestation all combine to depreciate Earth’s environment. During his civilisation’s collapse a journalist, Tristram Velby and his family, struggle against appalling odds. Having experienced three dreams, he soon realises the first’s similarity to the cataclysmic event taking place. The second dream takes them, and others lifted from Earth, on a voyage to a strange alien world. The third reveals secrets of a ‘Universal Technology’ locked in a temple that will take Earth into the ‘Celestial Realm’.

Book excerpt: Follow this multi-disciplinary, scientific study as it examines the evidence of a great global catastrophe that occurred only 11,500 years ago. Crustal shifting, the tilting of Earth's axis, mass extinctions, upthrusted mountain ranges, rising and shrinking land masses, and gigantic volcanic eruptions and earthquakes--all indicate that a fateful confrontation with a destructive cosmic visitor must have occurred. The abundant geological, biological, and climatological evidence from this dire event calls into question many geological theories and will awaken our memories to our true--and not-so-distant--past.

Download or read book Cataclysms written by Laurent Testot and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2020-11-09 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humanity is by many measures the biggest success story in the animal kingdom; but what are the costs of this triumph? Over its three million years of existence, the human species has continuously modified nature and drained its resources. In Cataclysms, Laurent Testot provides the full tally, offering a comprehensive environmental history of humanity’s unmatched and perhaps irreversible influence on the world. Testot explores the interconnected histories of human evolution and planetary deterioration, arguing that our development from naked apes to Homo sapiens has entailed wide-scale environmental harm. Testot makes the case that humans have usually been catastrophic for the planet, “hyperpredators” responsible for mass extinctions, deforestation, global warming, ocean acidification, and unchecked pollution, as well as the slaughter of our own species. Organized chronologically around seven technological revolutions, Cataclysms unspools the intertwined saga of humanity and our environment, from our shy beginnings in Africa to today’s domination of the planet, revealing how we have blown past any limits along the way—whether by exploding our own population numbers, domesticating countless other species, or harnessing energy from fossils. Testot’s book, while sweeping, is light and approachable, telling the stories—sometimes rambunctious, sometimes appalling—of how a glorified monkey transformed its own environment beyond all recognition. In order to begin reversing our environmental disaster, we must have a better understanding of our own past and the incalculable environmental costs incurred at every stage of human innovation. Cataclysms offers that understanding and the hope that we can now begin to reform our relationship to the Earth.

Book Synopsis The Cataclysmic Impact by : D. R. Harp
Download or read book The Cataclysmic Impact written by D. R. Harp and published by Trafford on Demand Pub. This book was released on 2008 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cataclysmic Impact unearths the grandeur of Earth's 'largest' impact. A near-Earth sized object crashed into our planet. It produced a crater on Earth's surface, more immense than any other current or past recorded impact craters combined. Earth's biggest crater is revealed. This is the "genesis" of Earth's ruined surface topography unveiling a sweeping advance of uncharted science. Features Include: - How Earth’s 'great' mountain ranges came into existence, much to the contrary of current mountain uplift theories. - The sudden inception for planet Earth’s great continents, and/or tectonic plates. - The origins of our planet’s earthquakes, ocean ridges, trenches, and volcanic eruptions. - The source of Earth’s greatest Ice Age, and explaining how the earth attained its accumulations of oceanic water, almost inundating the bedrock. - Articulating the Paleo eras of Pangaea, it explains the earth surface shattering to continental break up to continental drift. - And finally… the actual impact; of which, suddenly annihilated Earth’s dinosaur populations (…with a special challenge for the Chicxulub Crater theory .) The Impact is despairingly lacked in all science publications… It will hold as a must read, primed, and activating our generation to a new era of re-structured, consummate and ensuing Earth history… for the many years to come.
Download or read book Cataclysm written by Jane Wright and published by Author House. This book was released on 2012-03-22 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What cataclysmic event almost destroyed the Earth? Was this the same event that fractured the mantle of the earth which contributed to the continental drift? Did Atlantis really exist? Was an advanced civilization from a faraway planet responsible for early mans great leap forward from the Stone Age to the Copper Age? What kernels of truth can be found amongst mythology, philosophy, religion and ancient texts that resonate with accepted scientific facts, and provide a plausible explanation of some of Earths mysteries? This book offers a unique perspective that identifies these kernels of truth and then proceeds to connect them to form a new picture of a very important time in the life of our planet. Jane Wright, brings to the page a logicians perspective that crosses multiple disciplines of thought, and in a creative and entertaining way, provides the reader with a unique proposal of how things might have been from 10,000 years ago to 6,000 years ago, when modern civilization began to take hold.

Book Synopsis Accretion of Extraterrestrial Matter Throughout Earth’s History by : Bernhard Peucker-Ehrenbrink
Download or read book Accretion of Extraterrestrial Matter Throughout Earth’s History written by Bernhard Peucker-Ehrenbrink and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year Earth is bombarded with about 40,000 tons of extraterrestrial material. This includes microscopic cosmic dust particles shed by comets and asteroids in outer space, meteorites, as well as large comets and asteroids that have led to catastrophic events in the geologic past. Originally considered only a curiosity, extraterrestrial matter found on Earth provides the only samples we have from comets, asteroids and other planets. Only recently mankind has started to actively collect extraterrestrial matter in space (Apollo program, Stardust mission) rather than to wait for its delivery to Earth. Still, most of our knowledge of the origin and evolution of our solar system is based on careful studies of meteorites, cosmic dust, and traces of large impact events in the geologic record such as the mass extinction that terminated the Cretaceous Period and led to the extinction of the dinosaurs. This book summarizes our current knowledge of the properties, origin, orbital evolution and accretion mechanism of extraterrestrial matter accreted on Earth and sheds light on accretion processes and fluxes in the geologic past. The chapters in the first part of the book are arranged in order to follow extraterrestrial matter from its origin in space, its orbital evolution on its way to Earth, its interaction with the Earth magnetosphere and atmosphere to its more or less violent collision with the Earth's surface. In the second part of the book several chapters deal with the present?day flux of cosmic dust and meteorites to Earth. Finally, several chapters deal with the reconstruction of the accretion history of extraterrestrial matter on Earth, starting with the most recent geologic past and ending with the very early, violent accretion period shortly after the formation of Earth, Moon and other solid planets in our solar system.
Book Synopsis The Revelation of Earth by : Frank Sims
Download or read book The Revelation of Earth written by Frank Sims and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-07 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is the year 2319, and Commander Virgil Artus of the Earth Federal Navy is about to be promoted to captain, the youngest in the fleet's history to do so. His new command is the navy's latest ship, the battle cruiser Bismarck. With the best technology available and the brightest crew, Captain Artus takes the Bismarck for its maiden voyage to the colony of Alpha Centauri, never knowing what awaits. The Bismarck carries a motley crew, including an army engineer corps, attractive Wing Commander Carmen, and two mysterious individuals--a navy psychologist with a questionable background and a shadowy man known only as Astaroth. Their mission is to resupply a colony located at the outer limits of humanity's exploration, as well as to survey and construct a colony base on one of the four worlds found in the system. But the mission begins to go wrong after the colony reports an emergency. When they arrive at Alpha Centauri, the crew finds that humanity is not alone in the universe. A fleet from the Iksus Armada, a reptilian race bred for war, is approaching, and they seek vengeance for an atrocity committed by humanity years ago. As captain, Artus is about to face his first--and possibly his final--confrontation.
Book Synopsis The Story of Earth by : Robert M. Hazen
Download or read book The Story of Earth written by Robert M. Hazen and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2013-07-30 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hailed by The New York Times for writing “with wonderful clarity about science . . . that effortlessly teaches as it zips along,” nationally bestselling author Robert M. Hazen offers a radical new approach to Earth history in this intertwined tale of the planet’s living and nonliving spheres. With an astrobiologist’s imagination, a historian’s perspective, and a naturalist’s eye, Hazen calls upon twenty-first-century discoveries that have revolutionized geology and enabled scientists to envision Earth’s many iterations in vivid detail—from the mile-high lava tides of its infancy to the early organisms responsible for more than two-thirds of the mineral varieties beneath our feet. Lucid, controversial, and on the cutting edge of its field, The Story of Earth is popular science of the highest order. "A sweeping rip-roaring yarn of immense scope, from the birth of the elements in the stars to meditations on the future habitability of our world." -Science "A fascinating story." -Bill McKibben
Book Synopsis How to Build a Habitable Planet by : Charles H. Langmuir
Download or read book How to Build a Habitable Planet written by Charles H. Langmuir and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2012-08-13 with total page 737 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A classic introduction to the story of Earth's origin and evolution—revised and expanded for the twenty-first century Since its first publication more than twenty-five years ago, How to Build a Habitable Planet has established a legendary reputation as an accessible yet scientifically impeccable introduction to the origin and evolution of Earth, from the Big Bang through the rise of human civilization. This classic account of how our habitable planet was assembled from the stuff of stars introduced readers to planetary, Earth, and climate science by way of a fascinating narrative. Now this great book has been made even better. Harvard geochemist Charles Langmuir has worked closely with the original author, Wally Broecker, one of the world's leading Earth scientists, to revise and expand the book for a new generation of readers for whom active planetary stewardship is becoming imperative. Interweaving physics, astronomy, chemistry, geology, and biology, this sweeping account tells Earth’s complete story, from the synthesis of chemical elements in stars, to the formation of the Solar System, to the evolution of a habitable climate on Earth, to the origin of life and humankind. The book also addresses the search for other habitable worlds in the Milky Way and contemplates whether Earth will remain habitable as our influence on global climate grows. It concludes by considering the ways in which humankind can sustain Earth’s habitability and perhaps even participate in further planetary evolution. Like no other book, How to Build a Habitable Planet provides an understanding of Earth in its broadest context, as well as a greater appreciation of its possibly rare ability to sustain life over geologic time.

This book was released on 2022-02-04 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you want to develop a fresh and deeper vision for your life, Wm. LaRue Dillard can help. This book of the Apocalypses of Cataclysm and the World of Tomorrow! The futuristic happening on earth for all humanity is pointed out simplistically. It gives chronological steps as listed in the book of Revelation starting with the message from Christ Jesus. The book points to the church age from the church's birth date in the spring of AD 30 in Jerusalem, Israel, to the "day of Christ" beginning with the raptured host's catching up of the saints worldwide. This phenomenon highlights the coming drama of the tribulation judgment period on planet earth ending with the fire baptism of the satanic trinity (Antichrist, false prophet, and Satan), with Satan's demons, and all unrighteous people of all the ages from the beginning of time. Here are the chronological steps: Demonic invasion from the bottomless pit. Antichrist's total control on the earth. Unification of the satanic trinity (Satan, Antichrist, false prophet). Four angels of God hold back the winds and don't let them blow until the 144,000 are sealed with the name of God in their forehead. The withholding of death for five months while toucher increases. The war in the second heaven between Michael and Satan who will be cast down from the second heaven to earth. Abaddon and Apollyon followed by darkened sun, bloody moon, fallen stars, and a shaken earth. This is just the first half of the seven years of judgment following the sixty-ninth week of Daniel's prophecy, and now comes the last half of the seventieth week of the prophecy. There is nowhere to run or hide from the terror of God Almighty. Whatever the Holy Bible teaches is believed, or nothing it teaches is believed. This book will help you take the first step toward achieving your impossible task on your pilgrimage with Christ Jesus our Lord. Bishop Dr. Wm. LaRue Dillard is the author of several other books including Biblical Ancestry Voyage.

This book was released on 2007-07-03 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because of the Moon's unique place in the evolution of rocky worlds, it is a prime focus of NASA's space exploration vision. Currently NASA is defining and implementing a series of robotic orbital and landed missions to the Moon as the initial phase of this vision. To realize the benefits of this activity, NASA needs a comprehensive, well-validated, and prioritized set of scientific research objectives. To help establish those objectives, NASA asked the NRC to provide guidance on the scientific challenges and opportunities enabled by sustained robotic and human exploration of the Moon during the period 2008-2023 and beyond. This final report presents a review of the current understanding of the early earth and moon; the identification of key science concepts and goals for moon exploration; an assessment of implementation options; and a set of prioritized lunar science concepts, goals, and recommendations. An interim report was released in September 2006.
