Download or read book Seatanks written by James M. Ridgway, Jr. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-05-16 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Could World War II have ended differently—less catastrophically for Japan? Did the Japanese Imperial Navy possess the technological potential to devise weapon systems capable of holding the United States Navy and Army Air force at arms length for an additional six months? And could peace forces inside and outside of Japan’s military and governmental agencies have used such additional time to gain the upper hand over its nation’s hardliners, allowing Japan to submit to unconditional surrender prior to suffering total devastation? An alternative history, Seatanks initially unfolds upon a backdrop of factual history. The story commences with Admiral Yamamoto—a man who strenuously opposed those pushing Japan toward war with the West, yet when war became inevitable it was he who was the driving force behind the Pearl Harbor attack—being introduced to a young naval officer and his ideas for a revolutionary weapons system. All but one of the book’s characters are real men of history. As the novel’s central plot unfolds their actions become increasingly fictionalized. By the time the story reaches its conclusion, the great mid-Twentieth Century war between Japan and the United States has been significantly altered.

Download or read book Marine Radioactivity written by and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2004-09-17 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book on Marine Radioactivity sets out to cover most of the aspects of marine radioactivity which have been the focus of scientific study in recent decades. The authors and their reviews divide into topic areas which have defined the field over its history. They cover the suite of natural radioisotopes which have been present in the oceans since their formation and quantitatively dominate the inventory of radioactivity in the oceans. Also addressed are the suite of artificial radionuclides introduced to the oceans as a consequence of the use of the atom for development of nuclear energy, nuclear weapons and various applications of nuclear science. The major source of these continues to derive from the global fallout of atmospheric tests of nuclear weapons in the 1950s and 1960s but also includes both planned and accidental releases of radioactivity from both civilian and military nuclear technology. The other division of the major study direction depends on whether the objective is to use the radionuclides as powerful tools to study oceanic processes, to describe and understand the ocean distribution of the various natural or artificial radionuclides or to assess the different radionuclides' impact on and pathways to man or marine organisms. The oceans cover 70% of the Earth's surface and thus contains a corresponding large share of the Earth's radioactivity. Marine Radioactivity covers topics of recent scientific study in this young field. It examines both natural radioactivity (radioactivity naturally present in oceans since their formation) and artificial radioactivity (radioactivity introduced by man and use of atomic and nuclear energy) with regard to possible effects on the global environment.
Download or read book The Kraken Wakes written by John Wyndham and published by Modern Library. This book was released on 2022-04-19 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An “ingenious, horrifying” (The Guardian) first contact story by one of the twentieth century’s most brilliant—and neglected—science fiction and horror writers, whom Stephen King called “the best writer of science fiction that England has ever produced.” “Few books capture the obscure, elliptical way that threats move from the background to the foreground of reality like The Kraken Wakes. . . . Feels all too familiar in today’s age of anti-vaxxer disinformation and QAnon conspiracists.” —Alexandra Kleeman, from the Introduction What if aliens invaded and colonized Earth’s oceans rather than its land? Britain, 1953: It begins with red dots appearing across the sky and crashing to the oceans’ deeps. At first, many people believe that these aliens are interested in only what’s down below. But when the polar ice-caps begin to melt, it becomes clear that these beings are not interested in sharing the Earth and that humankind might just be on the brink of extinction. . . .
Book Synopsis The Classic Collection of John Wyndham. Illustrated by : John Wyndham
Download or read book The Classic Collection of John Wyndham. Illustrated written by John Wyndham and published by Strelbytskyy Multimedia Publishing. This book was released on 2022-12-12 with total page 1439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Wyndham created some of the most intriguing and intelligent science fiction of the 20th century. Some of his works were set in post-apocalyptic landscapes. His best known works include The Day of the Triffids (1951), filmed in 1962, and The Midwich Cuckoos (1957), which was filmed in 1960 as Village of the Damned, in 1995 under the same title, and again in 2022 in Sky Max under its original title. But some readers consider that The Chrysalids was really his best. The ideas in The Chrysalids are echoed in The Handmaid's Tale, whose author, Margaret Atwood, has acknowledged Wyndham's work as an influence. Wyndham also wrote several short stories, ranging from hard science fiction to whimsical fantasy. The Day of the Triffids The Kraken Wakes The Chrysalids The Midwich Cuckoos The Outward Urge Trouble with Lichen Chocky
