Book Synopsis Surf, Flood, Fire and Mud by : Nathan Cool
Download or read book Surf, Flood, Fire and Mud written by Nathan Cool and published by . This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forecast Meteorologist Nathan Cool tells the story of how record-breaking ocean waves, weather and winds -- starting in 2015 from the strongest El Niño ever recorded -- carved a path of destruction, which persisted over the next few years. Once colossal waves crashed on the shores of Hawaii and the west coast of the U.S., floods soon followed, setting the stage for California's worst fire season and devastating mudslides. Far from being a one-off occurrence, a years-long ripple effect, sparked by the mega El Niño of 2015-16, had devastatingly fatal consequences. Once mammoth waves battered coastlines, intense storms bore down on Hawaii, California, Oregon, Texas, and the Caribbean, leading to a deadly cycle of multi-seasonal weather that wiped out homes, blocked roadways, burned livestock, and buried people alive. All the while, mistakes by officials overseeing the safety of their communities exacerbated the tragedies that unfolded. Recounting storms play-by-play from their origins to their final -- and often fatal -- destinations, Nathan tells the true stories of not just what happened from El Niño and its years-long aftermath, but also why so many were affected, often needlessly, from the results of Surf, Flood, Fire & Mud.

A new chapter documents how their lives and work have changed and grown over a quarter-century, and 75 new photographs show the dazzling results. Tom's work achieves new heights of artistry and recognition, and Elaine emerges as a notable artist in her own right. The Mud-Pie Dilemma also provides inside information about the craft and art of working in clay--including recipes and tips for 40 of Tom's much-praised glazes.

Book Synopsis Lucky Mud & Other Foma by : Christina Jarvis
Download or read book Lucky Mud & Other Foma written by Christina Jarvis and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2022-11-22 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating deep dive into Kurt Vonnegut’s oeuvre and legacy, illuminating his unique perspective on environmental stewardship and our shared connections as humans, Earthlings, and stardust. Vonnegut’s major apocalyptic trio—Cat’s Cradle, Slapstick, and Galápagos—prompt broad global, national, and species-level thinking about environmental issues through dramatic and fantastic scenarios. This book, Lucky Mud and Other Foma, tells the story of the origins and legacy of what Kurt Vonnegut understood as “planetary citizenship” and explores key roots, influences, literary techniques, and artistic expressions of his interest in environmental activism through his writing. Vonnegut saw writing itself as an act of good citizenship, as a way of “poisoning” the minds of young people “with humanity . . . to encourage them to make a better world.” Often that literary activism meant addressing real social and environmental problems—polluted water, soil, and air; racial and economic injustice; isolating and dehumanizing technologies; and lives and landscapes desolated by war. Vonnegut’s remedies took many forms, from the redemptive power of the arts to artificial extended families to vital communities and engaged democracies. Reminding us of our shared connections as humans, as Earthlings, as stardust, Lucky Mud helps fans, scholars, and book lovers of all kinds experience how Vonnegut’s writings purposely challenge readers to think, create, and love.
