DOWNLOAD EBOOKMany animals take refuge in underground burrows, from small frog burrows in the desert to the sprawling burrows of prairie animals. Comparisons to familiar objects give perspective and illustrated rulers show numeric distances. Includes a map, glossary, and further resources.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKUnderground facilities are used extensively by many nations to conceal and protect strategic military functions and weapons' stockpiles. Because of their depth and hardened status, however, many of these strategic hard and deeply buried targets could only be put at risk by conventional or nuclear earth penetrating weapons (EPW). Recently, an engineering feasibility study, the robust nuclear earth penetrator program, was started by DOE and DOD to determine if a more effective EPW could be designed using major components of existing nuclear weapons. This activity has created some controversy about, among other things, the level of collateral damage that would ensue if such a weapon were used. To help clarify this issue, the Congress, in P.L. 107-314, directed the Secretary of Defense to request from the NRC a study of the anticipated health and environmental effects of nuclear earth-penetrators and other weapons and the effect of both conventional and nuclear weapons against the storage of biological and chemical weapons. This report provides the results of those analyses. Based on detailed numerical calculations, the report presents a series of findings comparing the effectiveness and expected collateral damage of nuclear EPW and surface nuclear weapons under a variety of conditions.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAccording to the big bang theory, our Universe began in a state of unimaginably high energy and density, contained in a space of subatomic dimensions. At that time, unlike today, the fundamental forces of nature were presumably unified and the particles present were interacting at energies not attainable by present-day accelerators. Underground laboratories provide the conditions to investigate processes involving rare phenomena in matter and to detect the weak effects of highly elusive particles by replicating similar environments to those once harnessed during the earliest states of the Earth. These laboratories now appear to be the gateway to understanding the physics of the grand unification of the forces of nature. Built to shield extremely sensitive detectors from the noise of their surroundings and the signals associated with cosmic rays, underground facilities have been established during the last 30 years at a number of sites worldwide. To date, the United States' efforts to develop such facilities have been modest and consist primarily of small underground laboratories. However, the U.S. underground community has pushed for larger underground facilities on the scale of major laboratories in other countries. An Assessment of the Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory (DUSEL) addresses this matter by evaluating the major physics questions and experiments that could be explored with the proposed DUSEL. Measuring the potential impact, this assessment also examines the broader effects of the DUSEL in regards to education and public outreach, and evaluates the need associated with developing U.S. programs similar to science programs in other regions of the world.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKLeon Verdat thought he knew everything about building underground structures. His contracting business was very profitable and his family was thriving. It only took one visit from a mysterious Man in Black to change his life forever. He was "asked" to come work for a secret military unit and introduced to black budgets and deep underground military bases (D.U.M.B.s) - the world of the "shadow government" and the ultra-rich, who live in a parallel society beneath our feet. Now, his life will never be the same again, if he survives. There is more than he bargained for deep underground, including Grey aliens. They have been here for a very long time, tunneling, burrowing, making their plans for a takeover. The hive-like Greys are doing everything they can to kill off the human forces underground who are hunting them, before the Greys can emerge on the surface and take over the Earth for themselves, controlled by their off-planet masters. But the secret military groups the world over are fighting as hard as they can to stop the alien's creeping invasion and Leon is caught up in the war going on under the feet of the unaware masses. How will he reconcile the secret life he is living underground with his family life on the surface? And how will he help stop the Greys? Because if they are not defeated, then nothing else on Earth will matter. "Great read rivals Cussler and Riely...Thank you." - reader comment left on author's site. Is there a clandestine world of tunnels and bases underground? Who is living in them? What do they want with humanity? A sci-fi thriller from David Sloma. This is Book 1 in a 7 part story: -Book 2 "Oceandeep" is now available as an ebook and paperback -Book 3 "Rescueplan" is now available as an ebook and paperback -Book 4 "Moonbase" is now available as an ebook and paperback -Book 5: "Wormwood" is now available as an ebook and paperback -Book 6: "Destroyer" is now available as an ebook and paperback -Book 7 "Purifier" is now available as an ebook and paperback All books in the running series are published now. The series is complete. A prequel story is mostly written, so check back for that in spring/summer 2021. The inspiration behind this book series? Many late nights listening to Coast to Coast AM, since the early days of Art Bell, where he'd have many guests on that talked about aliens and underground secret bases (mostly in the southwest USA desert, like Area 51, but also bases all over the world), like Whitley Strieber, Richard Dolan, Roger Lear, Richard Sauder, and more. Guests spoke about real life bases and also told some fictional stories. Some spoke about both. These books take a sampling of the facts that have been made public about D.U.M.B.s and adds some imaginative speculation to create a brand new, wild fictional ride!

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHumans have "gone underground" for survival for thousands of years, from underground cities in Turkey to Cold War-era bunkers. But our burrowing roots go back to the very beginnings of animal life on Earth. Many animal lineages alive now—including our own—only survived a cataclysmic meteorite strike 65 million years ago because they went underground.On a grander scale, the chemistry of the planet itself had already been transformed many millions of years earlier by the first animal burrows which altered whole ecosystems. Every day we walk on an earth filled with an underground wilderness teeming with life. Most of this life stays hidden, yet these animals and their subterranean homes are ubiquitous, ranging from the deep sea to mountains, from the equator to the poles. Burrows are a refuge from predators, a safe home for raising young, or a tool to ambush prey. Burrows also protect animals against all types of natural disasters. Filled with spectacularly diverse fauna, acclaimed paleontologist and ichnologist Anthony Martin reveals this fascinating, hidden world that will continue to influence and transform life on this planet.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKTechnology is in a constant state of flux, and religion is being called into question. Agent Jack Connors, a silent believer, and his atheist partner, Kate Matthews, find themselves undertaking a mission that will change the course of their lives forever. While pursuing an illegal arms dealer, they are forced to hire soldiers from an enigmatic military research and development company known as Network. But the soldiers there are more than they ever expected. The Network soldiers are devoid of personality, feeling, and choice-perfectly obedient. Once the soldiers have been assigned to kill, nothing can stop them. All this coincides with the rise of religious restrictions promoted by the people's servant, Senator Randolf Blakard, a man who holds the loyalty and love of the people in the palm of his hand. But just like the Network soldiers, there is more to him than meets the eye. Jack finds himself struggling between his duty and his beliefs, as secrets about Network and their soldiers culminate into a conspiracy over twenty years in the making. Will Jack's faith help him survive the black fires of persecution and show Kate the power of truth? Or will she end up like the rest-just another empty soul?
