Book excerpt: Since the formation of Earth billions of years ago, it has been through cataclysmic changes. She's been frozen and fried, pummeled from space and experienced the reversal of its magnetic poles. It's happening now and the face of the planet may never be the same. "Bobby Akart turns the world upside down once again!" International bestselling author Bobby Akart delivers up-all-night survival thrillers in The Geostorm Series, the story of a planet-changing phenomenon, a natural disaster brought about by the Earth itself. "Pulse pounding excitement. Akart pulls you into the story with his masterful writing talent until you are holding your breath captivated by the plot twists and each turn of the page leading you deeper into the world he has spun." Throughout the millennia, mankind has faced epic floods. Evidence shows that the sudden reversal of the planet's magnetic field, a fast pole reversal, had a profound impact on climactic conditions. What was once frozen, is now melted. The rising sea levels had to go somewhere. In past civilizations, man persevered because after these floods, the waters always receded. Until they didn't. As the catastrophe unfolds, does a well-intentioned effort to save America's power grid result in unintended deaths? How will the Boone family cope with the changing face of the planet, and the brutality of their fellow man? "Great characters, solid storyline, and twists and turns. The Geostorm series has it all!"

Book excerpt: The incredible story of a flood of near-biblical proportions -- its destruction, its heroes and victims, and how it shaped America's natural-disaster policies for the next century. The storm began March 23, 1913, with a series of tornadoes that killed 150 people and injured 400. Then the freezing rains started and the flooding began. It continued for days. Some people drowned in their attics, others on the roads when they tried to flee. It was the nation's most widespread flood ever—more than 700 people died, hundreds of thousands of homes and buildings were destroyed, and millions were left homeless. The destruction extended far beyond the Ohio valley to Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana, Kentucky, West Virginia, New York, New Jersey, and Vermont. Fourteen states in all, and every major and minor river east of the Mississippi. In the aftermath, flaws in America's natural disaster response system were exposed, echoing today's outrage over Katrina. People demanded change. Laws were passed, and dams were built. Teams of experts vowed to develop flood control techniques for the region and stop flooding for good. So far those efforts have succeeded. It is estimated that in the Miami Valley alone, nearly 2,000 floods have been prevented, and the same methods have been used as a model for flood control nationwide and around the world.

Download or read book Deluge written by Peggy Shinn and published by UPNE. This book was released on 2013-07-24 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On August 28, 2011, after pounding the Caribbean and the U.S. Eastern seaboard for more than a week, Hurricane Irene finally made landfall in New Jersey. As the storm headed into New England, it was quickly downgraded to a tropical storm. And by Sunday afternoon, national news outlets were giving postmortems on the damage. Except for some flooding in low-lying areas, New York City--Irene's biggest target--had escaped its worst-case scenario. Story over. But the story wasn't over. As Irene's eye drifted north, its bands of heavy rains twisted westward over Vermont's Green Mountains. The mountains forced these bands upward, wringing the rain out of them like water from a sponge. Streams and rivers were transformed into torrents of brown water and debris, gouging mountainsides, reshaping valleys, washing out roads, pulling apart bridges, and carrying away homes, livestock, and automobiles. For weeks, mountain towns were isolated, with no way in or out, and thousands of people were left homeless. In the immediate aftermath of the disaster, it fell on the shoulders of ordinary Vermonters to help victims and rebuild the state. Deluge is the complete story of the floods, the rescue, and the recovery, as seen through the eyes of the people who lived through them: Wilmington's Lisa Sullivan, whose bookstore was flooded, and town clerk Susie Haughwout, who saved the town records; Tracy Payne, who lost her home in Jamaica--everything in it, and the land on which it sat; Geo Honigford in South Royalton, who lost his crops, but put his own mess on hold to help others in the town; the men who put U.S. Route 4 back together at breakneck speed; and the entire village of Pittsfield, completely isolated after the storm, and its inspirational story of real community.
Download or read book Flood written by John Withington and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2013-11-15 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the flood that remade the earth in the Old Testament to the 1931 China floods that killed almost four million people, from the broken levees in New Orleans to the almost yearly rising waters of rivers like the Mississippi, floods have many causes: rain, melting ice, storms, tsunamis, failures of dams and levees, acts of vengeful gods. They have been used as deliberate acts of war to cause thousands of casualties. Flooding kills far more people than any other natural disaster. In this cultural and natural history of floods, John Withington tells stories of the deadliest floods the world has seen while also exploring the role of the deluge in religion, mythology, literature, and art. Withington describes how aspects of floods—the power of nature, human drama, changed landscapes—have fascinated artists, novelists, and filmmakers. He examines the ancient, catastrophic flood that appears in many religions and cultures and considers how the symbol of the flood has become a key icon in world literatures and a component of the contemporary disaster movie. Withington also depicts how humans try to defend themselves against these merciless encroaching waters and discusses the increasing danger floods pose in a future beset by climate change. Filled with illustrations, Flood offers a fascinating overview of our relationship with one of humanity’s oldest and deadliest foes.

Book excerpt: Since the beginning of time, four billion life forms have been created.Ninety-nine percent are now extinct.The human species is the youngest of them all. A mere blink in the eye of time -Time, which is running out. "I couldn't put it down. An absolutely phenomenal book!" International bestselling author Bobby Akart delivers up-all-night survival thrillers in The Geostorm Series, the story of a planet-changing phenomenon, a natural disaster brought about by the Earth itself."Akart excels at keeping us reeling ... in the ever-evolving apocalyptic world." Imagine a world where storms inundate coastal megacities. Entire species become extinct in an instant. And conflicts are fought over dwindling natural resources, food, and even shelter. The rapid pole shift resulting in the sudden reversal of the planet's magnetic field changed the face of the planet, forever. Rain fell for months. Ice melted. Waters rose. Land masses disappeared. Humanity had to go somewhere. Throughout the history of mankind, humans persevered because these cataclysmic events came about slowly allowing them time to analyze and adapt. This time, it was different. The end of the world came and we no longer asked, who to die by fire and who to die by sword? We all died by water. As the dramatic changes in the Earth's climate came about, superstorms, flooding, and weeks on end without sunlight became the norm. Until ..."This is my favorite series from this author and you really don't want to miss it." Earth's geologic revolution continued. Scientists had fought for centuries to study and explain the changes to our planet. Using advanced methodology, they routinely predicted our future. All of that research was for naught as the rapid pole shift generated The Tempest, a storm of biblical proportions."OMG Akart did it again!"
