Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on the East Anglian Earthquake of April 22nd, 1884, Vol. 1 The present report upon the most serious natural calamity that has befallen the county of Essex within the historical period has occupied the greater part of our scanty leisure time since its occurrence, and to many of our readers it may appear that the volume which we now offer as the result of our labour is out of all proportion to the magnitude of the event. In detailing the facts of the earthquake at such length we have been actuated by the desire of producing a report which we think we may venture to regard as typical of a "local investigation" in the sense insisted upon by the Corresponding Societies Committee of the British Association for the Advancement of Science. We are of opinion that such investigations should deal as exhaustively as possible with the facts relating to any particular subject, and at the same time that the legitimate conclusions should be drawn from these facts with especial reference to the district over which the local society extends its operations. This position we have endeavoured to take up in the following report, although of course a phenomenon affecting such a wide area as the present earthquake passes beyond the province of a purely local subject, and we can only express our regret that we have not been able to secure to a greater extent the co-operation of other societies in neighbouring counties. It may, however, be fairly pleaded that earthquakes of this magnitude are of such rare occurrence in our country that seismology as a subject is hardly pursued, and that very few persons know how or what to observe under such circumstances. It is hoped that our report may for this reason be found of some service to seismologists in general, although we can but sincerely wish that their opportunities for investigation may be few and far between. The whole subject is of such great complexity, and its practical investigation is surrounded by so many difficulties, that it must as yet be regarded as one of the most infantile of the modern branches of Science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'One of the most powerful books in the social sciences ever written. ... A must-read' Thomas Piketty 'The twentieth century's most prophetic critic of capitalism' Prospect Karl Polanyi's landmark 1944 work is one of the earliest and most powerful critiques of unregulated markets. Tracing the history of capitalism from the great transformation of the industrial revolution onwards, he shows that there has been nothing 'natural' about the market state. Instead of reducing human relations and our environment to mere commodities, the economy must always be embedded in civil society. Describing the 'avalanche of social dislocation' of his time, Polanyi's hugely influential work is a passionate call to protect our common humanity. 'Polanyi's vision for an alternative economy re-embedded in politics and social relations offers a refreshing alternative' Guardian 'Polanyi exposes the myth of the free market' Joseph Stiglitz With a new introduction by Gareth Dale

Book Synopsis Geological Hazards in the UK by : D.P. Giles
Download or read book Geological Hazards in the UK written by D.P. Giles and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2020-06-09 with total page 499 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The UK is perhaps unique globally in that it presents the full spectrum of geological time, stratigraphy and associated lithologies within its boundaries. With this wide range of geological assemblages comes a wide range of geological hazards, whether they be geophysical (earthquakes, effects of volcanic eruptions, tsunami, landslides), geotechnical (collapsible, compressible, liquefiable, shearing, swelling and shrinking soils), geochemical (dissolution, radon and methane gas hazards) or georesource related (coal, chalk and other mineral extraction). An awareness of these hazards and the risks that they pose is a key requirement of the engineering geologist. The Geological Society considered that a Working Party Report would help to put the study and assessment of geohazards into the wider social context, helping the engineering geologist to better communicate the issues concerning geohazards in the UK to the client and the public. This volume sets out to define and explain these geohazards, to detail their detection, monitoring and management and to provide a basis for further research and understanding.

Book Synopsis The Book of the Damned by : Charles Fort
Download or read book The Book of the Damned written by Charles Fort and published by Library of Alexandria. This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Time travel, UFOs, mysterious planets, stigmata, rock-throwing poltergeists, huge footprints, bizarre rains of fish and frogs-nearly a century after Charles Fort's Book of the Damned was originally published, the strange phenomenon presented in this book remains largely unexplained by modern science. Through painstaking research and a witty, sarcastic style, Fort captures the imagination while exposing the flaws of popular scientific explanations. Virtually all of his material was compiled and documented from reports published in reputable journals, newspapers and periodicals because he was an avid collector. Charles Fort was somewhat of a recluse who spent most of his spare time researching these strange events and collected these reports from publications sent to him from around the globe. This was the first of a series of books he created on unusual and unexplained events and to this day it remains the most popular. If you agree that truth is often stranger than fiction, then this book is for you"--Taken from Good Reads website.
