Download or read book Underwater written by Rebecca Elliott and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2021-01-05 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communities around the United States face the threat of being underwater. This is not only a matter of rising waters reaching the doorstep. It is also the threat of being financially underwater, owning assets worth less than the money borrowed to obtain them. Many areas around the country may become economically uninhabitable before they become physically unlivable. In Underwater, Rebecca Elliott explores how families, communities, and governments confront problems of loss as the climate changes. She offers the first in-depth account of the politics and social effects of the U.S. National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), which provides flood insurance protection for virtually all homes and small businesses that require it. In doing so, the NFIP turns the risk of flooding into an immediate economic reality, shaping who lives on the waterfront, on what terms, and at what cost. Drawing on archival, interview, ethnographic, and other documentary data, Elliott follows controversies over the NFIP from its establishment in the 1960s to the present, from local backlash over flood maps to Congressional debates over insurance reform. Though flood insurance is often portrayed as a rational solution for managing risk, it has ignited recurring fights over what is fair and valuable, what needs protecting and what should be let go, who deserves assistance and on what terms, and whose expectations of future losses are used to govern the present. An incisive and comprehensive consideration of the fundamental dilemmas of moral economy underlying insurance, Underwater sheds new light on how Americans cope with loss as the water rises.

Download or read book Underwater Research written by E.A. Drew and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-07-19 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Underwater Research is primarily a review of problems in underwater viewing and hearing and acoustics. The chapters in this book are papers collated from the symposia of the Underwater Association. This book explores the need for the further study of the physiological and psychological reactions of divers. The book also concludes that diving is still the best way in studying the benthic ecology and sunken wrecks and cities. The text is divided into 25 detailed chapters. Most of the topics in the text address the common problems encountered by divers such as in hearing and viewing. Specifically, problems in diver communication, depth estimation, color distinction are some of the topics covered. Other chapters deal with the psychological reactions such as anxiety, narcosis, and visual attention. Also, some chapters tackle solutions and experiments for the improvement of diving techniques and equipment. This reference is helpful to divers, students, and scientists involved in marine and environmental science.

Download or read book Unidentified Submerged Objects and Underwater Bases written by Martin K. Ettington and published by Martin K. Ettington. This book was released on with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many books on UFOs and Aliens but most are in the air or over the land. However, you might not be aware that there are also many UFO sightings underwater, or over water. There are even some strong claims of UFO and/or Alien bases underwater. Over 71% of the surface of the Earth is covered in water, much of which is in the Earth’s Oceans. So it makes sense that Aliens visiting Earth would hide in the water or even build bases there. Yes—there are reports from several places of possible Aliens bases beneath the waves. This would make a sensible place to hide if you have advanced technology which will allow you to hide underwater. Some of the suspected underwater bases are near Malibu-California, Gulf Breeze-Florida, and the Solomon Islands in the South Pacific. There are probably a lot more submerged base locations we don’t know about all over the world. In this book I’ve provided as many Unidentified Submerged Object stories as I could research. I think you will find these stories to be very interesting.
