Sinopsis

Tsunami Facts explores the science behind these devastating natural disasters, explaining their geological origins and the environmental impact on coastal communities. Tsunamis, often triggered by earthquakes and seismic activity related to plate tectonics, can travel across vast oceans, demonstrating the immense power of oceanography. Understanding warning systems is critical, as early detection can save lives. This book details how underwater geological events create these massive waves and examines the physics of their propagation and inundation. For example, a tsunami might originate from a distant earthquake but only reveal its destructive force upon reaching shallow coastal waters. The book progresses systematically, starting with the basics of wave dynamics, moving through the causes like volcanic eruptions and landslides, and concluding with risk assessment and tsunami mitigation strategies.

 
Tsunami Facts is unique because it provides a comprehensive yet accessible overview, drawing from diverse fields like geology and engineering. It presents complex information in an engaging way, making it valuable for anyone interested in environmental science, natural disasters, or protecting coastal residents. The book emphasizes the importance of community preparedness and effective warning systems, offering practical insights for policymakers and coastal communities.

Unsettled - What Climate Science...

Steven E. Koonin

In this updated and expanded edition of climate scientist Steven Koonin’s groundbreaking book, go behind the headlines to discover the latest eye-opening data about climate change—with unbiased facts and realistic steps for the future. 
 
“Greenland’s ice loss is accelerating.” 
“Extreme temperatures are causing more fatalities.” 
“Rapid ‘climate action’ is essential to avoid a future climate disaster.” 
 
You’ve heard all this presented as fact. But according to science, all of these statements are profoundly misleading. 
 
With the new edition of Unsettled, Steven Koonin draws on decades of experience—including as a top science advisor to the Obama administration—to clear away the fog and explain what science really says (and doesn’t say). With a new introduction, this edition now features reflections on an additional three years of eye-opening data, alternatives to unrealistic “net zero” solutions, global energy inequalities, and the energy crisis arising from the war in Ukraine. 
 
When it comes to climate change, the media, politicians, and other prominent voices have declared that “the science is settled.” In reality, the climate is changing, but the why and how aren’t as clear as you’ve probably been led to believe. 
 
Koonin takes readers behind the headlines, dispels popular myths, and unveils little-known truths: 
• Despite rising greenhouse gas emissions, global temperatures decreased from 1940 to 1970 
• Models currently used to predict the future do not accurately describe the climate of the past, and modelers themselves strongly doubt their regional predictions 
• There is no compelling evidence that hurricanes are becoming more frequent—or that predictions of rapid sea level rise have any validity 
 
Unsettled is a reality check buoyed by hope, offering the truth about climate science—what we know, what we don’t, and what it all means for our future.
