Book excerpt: No one has ever returned from Mars. Travel to and from the colony—a private venture mounted by a consortium of Muslim investors—has been embargoed since the Martian Fungus began decimating Earth’s oceans. Written off by its investors, the Mars colony struggles to survive on its own. The ecological disaster on Earth has caused famine and triggered political upheavals, including the reemergence of an Islamic caliphate. The colony, whose residents are overwhelmingly Muslim, has fallen under sharia law. Eric Issa, the colony’s infidel Safety Officer, investigates a bizarre death and uncovers a high-level conspiracy that may explain how the Martian organism contaminated Earth. He must quickly yet quietly identify the killer, piece together the conspiracy, and save his own skin, all the while protecting the dead man’s orphaned daughter who may hold the key to controlling the Martian Fungus on Earth. A short story.

Download or read book Climate Change 3 volumes written by Bruce E. Johansen and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 869 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This three-volume set presents entries and primary sources that will impress on readers that what we do—or don't do—today regarding climate change will dramatically influence what life on this planet will be like for untold numbers of generations. How are the behaviors of birds, butterflies, and other migratory animals connected to climate change? What does the term "thermal inertia" mean, and what does this geophysical effect have on predicting what the planet's future will be like? What is the context for the effects we are seeing on various forms of animal life, from migrating birds to polar bears to mosquitoes that transmit Zika and other diseases? Climate Change: An Encyclopedia of Science, Society, and Solutions combines entries describing Earth's variable climatic history, references to scientific literature, weather record data, and selected primary documents to present readers with a comprehensive account of global warming's effects worldwide. By examining verifiable, quantitative information such as the frequency and intensity of hurricanes and changes in the hydrological cycle, as well as clear patterns and trends of alternating droughts and deluges and wildfires, melting ice, and rising seas, readers will be able to understand why scientists are so concerned about the future of our climate. Researchers will benefit from detailed explanations of scientific topics such as thermal inertia, feedbacks, and tipping points; and receive invaluable context on the role of energy use in climate change, including automobiles and air travel. Readers will learn about the role of China in the current global climate and in the future; the widespread effects of climate change on agriculture; and how indigenous peoples' lives are being impacted, from drought and the Navajos to hunters' lives in the Arctic. The work concludes with thought-provoking debates regarding potential solutions, from wind power and solar power to geo-engineering.
