Synopsis

Great Earthquakes explores the science, history, and human impact of major seismic events, revealing how these geological forces have reshaped our world. It investigates plate tectonics, fault lines, and seismic wave behavior, while also examining historical earthquakes and their devastating consequences. For example, the 1906 San Francisco earthquake not only caused widespread destruction but also spurred significant advancements in building codes and urban planning. Understanding earthquake mechanics is crucial for developing effective disaster preparedness and mitigation strategies, essential for communities in seismically active regions.

 
The book traces the evolution of seismology, from early philosophical inquiries to modern monitoring techniques, demonstrating how our understanding of earthquakes has evolved with each major event. Case studies, such as the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, highlight the immediate impacts on populations and infrastructure, along with the long-term social, economic, and environmental consequences. It examines how societal factors, like building codes and emergency response capabilities, influence earthquake impact.

 
Structured to guide the reader from fundamental concepts to complex analyses, Great Earthquakes begins by introducing the physics of earthquakes and the tools used to measure them. It progresses through specific historical events and concludes with a discussion of forecasting, risk assessment, and mitigation strategies, bridging Earth Sciences with Geography, World History, and History World. This approach offers a comprehensive understanding of seismic events and their impact on human societies.

    When Sylvain Tesson left the colorful yellow houses of the French Riveria for a ski trek across the Alps with his friend Daniel du Lac, a high-altitude mountain guide, he didn't know what exactly would await him. Over the course of four years, from 2018 to 2021, they ascended high into the Alps in winter, following the curve of the mountains from the Mediterranean to the Adriatic, entering into a white world entirely of snow, bitterly cold, and overlooked by an empty sky; only the effort of moving forward, one stride at a time, separated the days from one another. He thought he was venturing into beauty but he was immersing himself in a substance. In the white of the high Alps all is canceled out—hopes, fears, memories, and regrets. What did he stand to gain by inflicting this ordeal on himself? This was no ordinary mountain trek: it was communion with a substance. Perhaps his longtime dream of transforming travel into prayer would come true at last.

    The Elements of Marie Curie -...

    The acclaimed Pulitzer Prize finalist and #1 New York Times bestselling author of Galileo’s Daughter crafts a luminous chronicle of the most famous woman in the history of science, and the untold story of the remarkable young women trained in her laboratory 
     
    “Even now, nearly a century after her death, Marie Curie remains the only female scientist most people can name,” writes Dava Sobel at the opening of her shining portrait of the sole Nobel laureate decorated in two separate fields of science—Physics in 1903 with her husband, Pierre, and Chemistry by herself in 1911. And yet, as brilliant and creative as she was in the laboratory, Marie Curie was equally memorable outside it. Grieving Pierre’s untimely death in 1906, she took his place as professor of physics at the Sorbonne, devotedly raised two brilliant daughters, drove a van she outfitted with X-ray equipment to the front lines of World War I, befriended Albert Einstein and other luminaries of twentieth-century physics, won support from two US presidents, and inspired generations of young women to pursue science as a way of life.  
     
    As Sobel did so masterfully in her portrait of Galileo through the prism of his daughter, she approaches Marie Curie from a unique angle, narrating her remarkable life of discovery and fame alongside the women who became her legacy—from France’s Marguerite Perey, who discovered the element francium, and Norway’s Ellen Gleditsch, to Mme. Curie’s elder daughter, Irène, winner of the 1935 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. For decades the only woman in the room at international scientific gatherings that probed new theories about the interior of the atom, Marie Curie traveled far and wide, despite constant illness, to share the secrets of radioactivity, a term she coined. Her two triumphant tours of the United States won her admirers for her modesty even as she was mobbed at every stop; her daughters, in Ève’s later recollection, “discovered all at once what the retiring woman with whom they had always lived meant to the world.” 
     
    With the consummate skill that made bestsellers of Longitude and Galileo’s Daughter, and the appreciation for women in science at the heart of The Glass Universe, Dava Sobel has authored a radiant biography and a masterpiece of storytelling, illuminating the life and enduring influence of one of the most consequential figures of our time.
