This book was released on 2014-04-22 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The family from Secrets of the Garden are back in a new book about backyard science that explains why the seasons change. Alice and her friend Zack explore the reasons for the seasons. Alice's narrative is all about noticing the changes as fall turns into winter, spring, and then summer. She explains how the earth's yearlong journey around the sun, combined with the tilt in the earth's axis, makes the seasons happen. Alice's text is clear and simple, and experiential. Two very helpful—and very funny—chickens give more science details and further explanation through charts, diagrams, and sidebars. Packed with sensory details, humor, and solid science, this book makes a complicated concept completely clear for young readers—and also for the many parents who struggle to answer their kids' questions! "Several adults of my acquaintance . . . would find Secrets of the Seasons to be an eye-popping revelation." —John Lithgow, The New York Times Book Review

Book excerpt: Three years have passed since the events of "Earth Tilt" shook our planet to its core, leaving modern civilization in ruins. Though many of the survivors have started to rebuild, most of the small communities scattered around the continent remain isolated from one another. With no way to communicate over long distances, JJ Darby, his wife, and others from Goldston set out on a long journey to find out what happened to their families back east. Their trek will bring them into contact with new friends ... and old enemies. About the Author James D. Dailey was born in Louisiana and raised on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi. He enlisted in the Marine Corps at the age of seventeen, serving first as a radio operator and eventually as communications chief. Upon retiring from the military, he worked for the National Park Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. James lives in Kingman, Arizona, with his wife, Marilyn. "Earth Tilt, Book II" is his third book.

Book excerpt: This Erratic Planet is a book of vital importance to the future of our species. Drawing on a staggering range of references across disciplines including geology, astronomy, archaeology and palaeontology, Ian Rankin' outlines his radical ideas about the worlds past. Contrary to conventional scientific thinking, the evidence he has examined has convinced him that the history of our planet is not one of gradual change, as proposed by Darwin's theory of evolution, but a story of successive, yet systematic, global catastrophes. These have wiped almost all trace of previous civilisations from the face of the Earth. These catastrophes, known as pole shifts, derive from the unstable nature of the solar system, which is the subject of the book's second part.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Little Book of Planet Earth presents a concise description of the geological evolution of Earth from its formation. Meissner describes in detailed but accessible prose not just the planet's features, but the tools that modern geologists use to explore and track the ever-changing subterranean and surface features of the planet. With a particular gift for expressing how the forces in and around our planet constantly alter the world we live in, the author introduces lay readers to the key topics in modern earth and planetary science: the creation of Earth and its moon (as well as stars and other planets), the role of seismology in analyzing Earth's structure, the formation of mountain ranges and basins, the role of plate tectonics, the significance of Earth's magnetic field, and the complex relationship of our planet's geology to the life forms found there.

Download or read book The Darwin Elevator written by Jason M. Hough and published by Del Rey. This book was released on 2013-07-30 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Jason M. Hough’s pulse-pounding debut combines the drama, swagger, and vivid characters of Joss Whedon’s Firefly with the talent of sci-fi author John Scalzi. In the mid-23rd century, Darwin, Australia, stands as the last human city on Earth. The world has succumbed to an alien plague, with most of the population transformed into mindless, savage creatures. The planet’s refugees flock to Darwin, where a space elevator—created by the architects of this apocalypse, the Builders—emits a plague-suppressing aura. Skyler Luiken has a rare immunity to the plague. Backed by an international crew of fellow “immunes,” he leads missions into the dangerous wasteland beyond the aura’s edge to find the resources Darwin needs to stave off collapse. But when the Elevator starts to malfunction, Skyler is tapped—along with the brilliant scientist, Dr. Tania Sharma—to solve the mystery of the failing alien technology and save the ragged remnants of humanity. Praise for The Darwin Elevator “A hell of a fun book.”—James S. A. Corey, New York Times bestselling author of Abaddon’s Gate “[Jason M.] Hough’s first novel combines the rapid-fire action and memorable characters associated with Joss Whedon’s short-lived Firefly TV series with the accessibility and scientific acumen of [James S. A.] Corey’s ‘Expanse’ series.”—Library Journal (starred review) “The best part about alien stories is their mystery, and Jason Hough understands that like no other. Full of compelling characters and thick with tension, The Darwin Elevator delivers both despair and hope along with a gigantic dose of wonder. It’s a brilliant debut, and Hough can take my money whenever he writes anything from now on.”—Kevin Hearne, New York Times bestselling author of The Iron Druid Chronicles “Newcomer Hough displays a talent for imaginative plotting and realistic dialogue, and the brisk pacing and cliffhanger ending will keep readers enthralled and eagerly awaiting the next installment.”—Publishers Weekly “Jason M. Hough does a great job with this huge story. The world of Darwin and the Elevator is deliciously complex and satisfying. Skyler, Tania, and all the other characters are delightfully drawn and fun to spend time with. . . . The story unfolds with just the right balance of high adventure, espionage, humor, and emotional truth. . . . As soon as you finish, you’ll want more.”—Analog “A debut novel unlike any other . . . This is something special. Something iconic. The Darwin Elevator is full of majesty and wonder, mystery and mayhem, colorful characters and insidious schemes.”—SF Signal “Fun, action-packed and entertaining . . . a sure contender for science fiction debut of the year!”—Pat’s Fantasy Hotlist “Claustrophobic, intense, and satisfying . . . I couldn’t put this book down. The Darwin Elevator depicts a terrifying world, suspends it from a delicate thread, and forces you to read with held breath as you anticipate the inevitable fall.”—Hugh Howey, New York Times bestselling author of Wool

Download or read book The Rotation of the Earth written by Walter H. Munk and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-03-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives an account of certain observed irregularities on the rotation of the Earth, both in its rate of rotation (giving a variable length of day) and in the position of its axis. These irregularities are caused by events on and within the Earth and provide a means of studying a number of geophysical problems. Seasonal shifts in air masses and variable winds are causes of short-period fluctuations in the rotation. Climatic changes and their attendant sea levels are in part responsible for long-term fluctuations. Modern observations of the Moon and descriptions of ancient elipses both establish a secular increase in the length of day. The interpretation involves atmospheric, oceanic and bodily tides. The book provides a unified treatment of the rotation of the Earth, making this method of studying geophysical phenomena more readily accessible to geophysicists and others.

Book excerpt: Retired civil engineer Strain proposes small but sudden shifts in the Earth's axis as a major factor in such prehistoric and geological phenomena as seas where mountains are now, ice and coal ages, the disappearance of dinosaurs and other mass extinctions, and frozen mammoths. At a technical level accessible to high-school students, he explains how the shape of the ocean and magma would change and impact climate, produces evidence that the axis has in fact shifted, and sets out a research program to confirm and refine the theory. He also provides an extensive glossary without pronunciation. Paper edition (unseen), $19.95. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Download or read book Historical Eclipses and Earth's Rotation written by F. Richard Stephenson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2008-03-24 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The culmination of many years of research, this book discusses ancient and medieval eclipse observations and their importance in studying Earth's past rotation. This is the first major book on this subject in twenty years. The author has specialized for many years in the interpretation of early astronomical records and their application to problems in modern astronomy. The book contains an in-depth discussion of numerous eclipse records from Babylon, China, Europe and the Arab lands. The author provides translations of almost every record studied. He shows that although tides play a dominant long-term role in producing variations in Earth's rate of rotation--causing a gradual increase in the length of the day--there are significant and variable nontidal changes in opposition to the main trend. This book is intended for geophysicists, astronomers (especially those with an interest in history), historians and orientalists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rare Species, Book 3 is the grand finale of the science fiction adventure set in the tilted world series. The three antagonists are driven to achieve their roles of dominance and survival. Shiva, the evolving cyborg is ready to complete his plan to submerge the earth and introduce a rare species of humanoid to replace its original inhabitants. Gustav Reddy and the CEOs of the ten space stations of High Wire have tried to empty the planet of its natural resources before departing for the far reaches of outer space. All that remains to stop these single minded pariahs of humankind are the Highwaymen, a small band of dedicated fighters striving to save the earth from ruin. Highwayman Dante Allegro has issued a twenty-four ultimatum to Shiva and High Wire: "Leave earth immediately or perish." It is a bold gambler's bluff that takes the Highwaymen to fateful confrontations in the fortress of Masada, the Pyramid of Digital Babel in Turkey, and the space station All Things Mine. Book 3 brings all of the tension and ferocity of three groups determined to succeed. Rare Species takes the reader through a gradually ascending whirlwind ride from an ultimatum to the destinies of three remarkable sets of characters. It is takes place in 2040 during a period of great technological promise for extended lives, space travel, and advanced cybernetics. The central themes of this engaging trilogy include cooperation over exploitation and the Highwayman's Code of the Open Road: Adapt, Improvise, and Overcome.
