Sinossi

"The Great Tsunami" explores the science and history of tsunamis, powerful natural disasters that can reshape coastlines and alter human history. The book examines the geological forces behind these events, such as earthquakes and underwater landslides, and investigates how tsunami waves behave as they travel across oceans and impact coastal regions. It highlights how understanding these phenomena is crucial for predicting future occurrences and mitigating risk. One intriguing fact is that tsunamis can be almost imperceptible in the open ocean, yet grow to immense heights as they approach shallower waters.

 
The book progresses from the scientific principles of tsunami generation to a historical overview of significant events, including a detailed analysis of the devastating 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. This event serves as a case study, examining the earthquake's seismology, wave dynamics, and the effectiveness of early warning systems. "The Great Tsunami" uniquely combines scientific analysis with compelling narratives of historical events, making complex concepts accessible. It emphasizes the importance of disaster management and mitigation strategies to reduce the impact of these events, particularly in vulnerable coastal regions.

Clash at Sunday Creek: Rum...

Jobie Joseph Siemer

The Tombstone of Early Ohio   Southeast Ohio's Little Cities of Black Diamonds was a rugged region in the 1800s. Nowhere was this truer than in Corning and Rendville, mining towns reminiscent of the Wild West era. Gun duels, scandals, lynchings, and murders plagued these places, as intrepid European immigrants and tenacious Black miners relied on raw grit to survive rowdy saloons and perilous coal mines. These impoverished workers also took bold stands against affluent mine operators, leading to intense clashes with the Ohio National Guard./ Author and former Green Beret Jobie Siemer reveals stories of formidable union conflicts and the unyielding resilience of miners whose faith was a beacon in a chaotic struggle to restore order to Sunday Creek./

Human Agency - 75% DNA 25% Free...

Muren Herrid

Nature versus nurture has shaped centuries of debate—but what if the answer is neither, and both? 
In Human Agency: 75% DNA, 25% Free Will, scientist and biotechnologist Muren Herrid, PhD, revisits the classic question of whether our lives are determined by genetics (nature) or environment and experience (nurture)—and argues that modern science demands a more nuanced answer. 
Drawing on research in genetics, epigenetics, evolution, and biotechnology, this book examines how DNA powerfully shapes intelligence, behaviour, and physical traits, while also showing how environment, experience, and mental state can influence how genes are expressed—sometimes across generations. 
Blending rigorous science with real-world examples and personal reflections, Human Agency explores:Why genetics explains more about human differences than we often admitHow epigenetics blurs the line between nature and nurtureWhether mental state and conscious behaviour can influence biologyWhat evolution looks like in the age of AI, gene editing, and NeuralinkHow humanity may actively participate in its own future evolution 
Written for curious readers, science enthusiasts, policymakers, and professionals, this book challenges simplistic answers to the nature-versus-nurture debate and replaces them with a biologically grounded, evidence-based framework. 
If you’ve ever asked whether your destiny is written in your DNA—or whether free will still matters—Human Agency offers a compelling scientific perspective on who we are, and how much choice we truly have.
