Sinossi

"The Deadly Quake" explores the science and devastating impact of earthquakes, major natural disasters that reshape our world. It delves into seismology, explaining how these geological events occur due to plate tectonics and fault lines, releasing powerful seismic waves. The book highlights the importance of understanding both the science and the human impact to improve disaster preparedness. The book examines significant earthquakes throughout history, detailing their geological settings, magnitude, and resulting devastation. For example, the book notes that the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake triggered a massive tsunami, and the 1906 San Francisco earthquake led to widespread destruction. It emphasizes the need for earthquake-resistant design and community resilience. Progressing from the basic principles to mitigation strategies, the book uses seismic data, historical records, and case studies to provide a comprehensive overview. This book is unique because it offers a multidisciplinary perspective, combining Earth science with human stories. It connects to fields such as engineering, sociology, and public policy. By exploring earthquake prediction debates and early warning systems, "The Deadly Quake" empowers readers with knowledge to minimize the potential destruction of future earthquakes.

    A tale of love, life, and finding your way home... 
    At age nine, as Susanna sat on a horse for the first time, an unbreakable bond was forged. It set the stage for a lifelong odyssey for this determined girl and her devotion to her equine companions. 
    From lush Brazilian rainforests to serene Swedish farms, from thrilling British derby banks to the picturesque wine hills of France, this is a story that spans continents, careers, and crossroads. From driven Olympians to bold bullfighters, from kind horsemanship trainers to daring jumpers, each character who crossed her path shone a light on who she yearned to be. 
    But as she took the road less traveled, Susanna found herself fighting the constant pressure to fit the norm and perform. She battled the societal traps of who she was expected to be, but, in the end, through her bond with her horse, she found a way to break free. When she did, she found herself living her dream life, even before she knew what it entailed. 
    Horse Girl is an enchanting memoir of a woman and her unwavering connection to her horses. It’s a tale of love, life, and finding your way home.

    Inhabiting a landscape, walking a landscape, writing a place and time. 
    Linda Cracknell is a writer of place and nature who believes in being alert, observing, and writing from the particulars of each experience. Engaging bodily with her writing, she is someone for whom getting mud on her boots, sleeping high up in the hills, or being slapped by salt water can all be part of her process. She follows Susan Sontag's advice to “Love words, agonize over sentences and pay attention to the world.”  
    In this varied collection of essays, Linda backpacks on a small island that is connected to the mainland at low tide, musing on the nineteenth-century Scottish writer whose character was shipwrecked there. She hikes the wooded mountain trail close to her home in winter snow—a place she is intimately familiar with in all weathers and seasons—and she retraces the steps of a multiday hike made almost seven decades after her parents trod the route together. She explores her inspirations, in nature and from other artists and their work.  
    Reading this collection will open your eyes to the world around you and how you can observe, take note, and later commit those notes and memories to written pieces that will evoke the place and time.
