Download or read book Terra written by Richard Hamblyn and published by Picador. This book was released on 2009 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blending history, science and eye-witness accounts, and arranged in chapters corresponding to the four elements (earth, air, fire and water), Terra explores the relationship between the planet and the humans who inhabit its surfaces. Through four case histories -- the Lisbon earthquake of 1755; the weather-panics of the summer of 1783; the eruption of Krakatau in 1883; and the Hilo tsunami of 1946 -- Hamblyn reminds us of the earth's unimaginable force and describes what happens when that force is unleashed, both in terms of the immediate human consequences and the longer term economic and scientific implications. Serving, ultimately, as a stark and incontrovertible reminder of our vulnerability when the earth 'goes wrong', Terra also asks why we don't seem fully able to learn from the catastrophes, mistakes and responses of the past. Praise for Richard Hamblyn's previous book, The Invention of Clouds: 'An elegantly written and richly diverting thesis of unusual interdisciplinary facility' Guardian 'A book that accomplishes that rare feat of changing the reader's perception of the world' Economist

Book excerpt: ‘Tales of Terra: Legends of Old’ is a story of a young warrior by the name of Alredon Grezana who is haunted with nightmares of the last war he was a part of, feeling guilt gripping his heart at how many had fallen in those lands. He is asked to take on a job as a mercenary by a woman from the far west to slay a monster but that journey quickly switches to a one across the land facing off with dark forces that plague from the towering frozen mountains to the north, the beautiful Feywilds to the east, and the great plains to the south. His journey will allow him to reunite with his loved ones as well as make new allies as he, his companion, and his black stallion uncover that the forces of dark forces are being commanded by beings with ancient powers. This will force him to use his families heirloom, the Comet Spear Illumina, a weapon that Alredon fears using its magical powers. He had earned the title of the Comet Knight in his past war, he was considered as a beacon of hope to his allies and one of fear to his enemies. But only time will tell if the Comet Knight with the ancient spear can stand between the forces of darkness and the destruction of his homelands.
