Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solar Flare SurvivalWe live only 8 light minutes from a massive, tumultuous, unpredictable star. The Sun provides us with the energy to sustain life on our planet, but that gift comes with a price. There has been more intense solar activity in the last 50 years than there has been in the past 11,000 years.As we approach the apexes of both the 11-year solar cycle and the longer Grand Solar Cycle, our Sun is continuing to produce increasingly destructive storms. A proton storm blasted from the Sun can travel as fast as 4 million miles per hour and have the energy of 100 billion atomic bombs. In the last 20 years we have witnessed solar storms powerful enough to destroy most of the electronics on our planet and impact human health. So far none of them have been pointed in our direction.We now know that the question is not if a major event will occur--But when?Solar Flare Survival first discusses what our scientists have learned so far about the Sun and how it affects our planet.Furthur chapters illustrate how the Sun can, and has in the past wreaked havoc on worldwide national power grids, spacecraft, and electronics.Key questions are discussed objectively drawing from some of the latest technology and current scientific studies.How do solar flares affect the human body?Can solar flares trigger earthquakes?Is a Faraday cage that has been designed to withstand a geomagnetic storm adequate for an EMP attack as well?Faraday cage theory, design and construction for the common man.Where to get current alerts and information about extreme space weather, and how to understand them.

Download or read book Solar Flares written by Whitley Strieber and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-12-11 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a force out there that could destroy our world in minutes. . . . Solar flares—brief bursts of radiation from our sun—have always existed and have never been particularly dangerous. Nature hasn’t changed. But we have. By making our world so dependent on electricity delivered by huge, unprotected power grids we have inadvertently placed humanity at terrible risk. As bestselling author Whitley Strieber explores in this urgent new work, a powerful solar flare could demolish our electrical delivery system, wiping away centuries of civilization in minutes and drastically changing our world. Such a scenario is altogether plausible—and it is the single most dangerous single thing that could happen to our civilization, more dangerous than the most massive earthquake or volcano, more dangerous than climate change, more dangerous even than nuclear war. What is worse, solar flares of a now-dangerous intensity are not all that uncommon; and not only that, our electrical and electronic infrastructure is becoming so extensive, and thus so fragile, that smaller and smaller solar flares can pose more and more serious hazards. Due to the astonishing unwillingness of power companies to cooperate, good programs that would make us safer, and that are supported by both political parties, have been routinely prevented from being enacted. In Solar Flares: What You Need to Know, Strieber reveals the dangers behind solar flares, tracks the disastrous damage they could cause, surveys what they would do to our world in the here-and-now, and explains what nations and individuals must do to prepare for them.

Book excerpt: SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE FROM NETFLIX AND ACADEMY AWARD-WINNING DIRECTOR KATHRYN BIGELOW “Fantastic story, a real page-turner. Impossible to put down." – Stephen King From the author of Cold Storage comes a riveting, eerily plausible thriller, told with the menace and flair of Under the Dome or Project Hail Mary, in which a worldwide cataclysm plays out in the lives of one complicated Midwestern family. In Aurora, Illinois, Aubrey Wheeler is just trying to get by after her semi-criminal ex-husband split, leaving behind his unruly teenage son. Then the lights go out—not just in Aurora but across the globe. A solar storm has knocked out power almost everywhere. Suddenly, all problems are local, very local, and Aubrey must assume the mantle of fierce protector of her suburban neighborhood. Across the country lives Aubrey’s estranged brother, Thom. A fantastically wealthy, neurotically over-prepared Silicon Valley CEO, he plans to ride out the crisis in a gilded desert bunker he built for maximum comfort and security. But the complicated history between the siblings is far from over, and what feels like the end of the world is just the beginning of several long-overdue reckonings—which not everyone will survive . . . Aurora is suspenseful storytelling—both large scale and small—at its finest.

Book excerpt: Alone in the Apocalypse: This story is a post-apocalyptic tale about a series of solar events that test the metal of a man who just wants to live alone in remote Wyoming. Will the solar catastrophe or his fellow man kill him, or can he prevail? The Sun is entering a period of solar activity that makes the famous Carrington event of 1859 pale by comparison. Just that alone will knock out the grid, kill most vehicles and fry electronics. The USA is not prepared for this catastrophe and the entire world will go back 150 years in technology and living standards. Hardened military vehicles and pre electronic vehicles will be the only machines moving not drawn by a horse, mule or camel.People with pacemakers will fall dead, planes will fall out of the sky and transportation will come to a halt. People will starve; riots and looting will start all across the world. 60% of the world's population will die off the first year. While that sounds bad, unfortunately, a trio of rogue planets has been traveling on a collision course with the Sun for millions of years. US scientists predict that they will strike the sun during this period of intense solar activity and could exacerbate the catastrophe into an E.L.E (Extinction Level Event). They forecast that the impact would eject a massive amount of solar mass, which will become a Coronal Mass Ejection of enormous size. If it approaches the Earth, it could sear the surface and kill all life. Even a near miss would kill all life on the side facing the glob of solar plasma. Does the US government warn the world and start panic in every country? How can the government prepare for an E.LE with only two years notice? Matt Jones became disgusted with his life as a high school teacher, politics and political correctness, which has run amuck in America. He dropped out and took survival courses while learning as much about prepping as possible. He sold his home and business to buy a home in a remote part of the USA and prepare for whatever apocalypse is heading his way. He just wanted to be alone on his property with his two dogs and give the finger to the rest of the world. That is easier said than done. He encounters many good and many evil people as he fights for survival in this post-apocalyptic world. He is able to do what he has to do to stop the criminals, but struggles on how to cope with the good people who will die without help. Matt can't save the whole world; he first has to save himself and then figure out what to do for the others if anything. What would you do to survive? Read "Alone in the Apocalypse and find out what Matt Jones does to survive.
