DOWNLOAD EBOOKA puzzling tsunami entered Japanese history in January 1700. Samurai, merchants, and villagers wrote of minor flooding and damage. Some noted having felt no earthquake; they wondered what had set off the waves but had no way of knowing that the tsunami was spawned during an earthquake along the coast of northwestern North America. This orphan tsunami would not be linked to its parent earthquake until the mid-twentieth century, through an extraordinary series of discoveries in both North America and Japan. The Orphan Tsunami of 1700, now in its second edition, tells this scientific detective story through its North American and Japanese clues. The story underpins many of today�s precautions against earthquake and tsunami hazards in the Cascadia region of northwestern North America. The Japanese tsunami of March 2011 called attention to these hazards as a mirror image of the transpacific waves of January 1700.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Photographs of damage caused by natural hazards represent a unique form of data, which captures the transient consequences of Earth's periodic upheavals. They preserve a permanent record of the sometimes destructive effects that otherwise would be erased forever in cleanup and reconstruction operations. Photographs serve as a reminder to both the research scientist and the layman not only that such events can-and probably will-reoccur, but that we should be prepared to handle their consequences in the future"--Introduction.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWe live in the midst of a photographic renaissance where we have become accustomed to consuming images with the same voracity and delight with those who devour junk food. To withstand the deluge that floods our retinas day after day, we consume them without digesting them properly or we just swallow them. Rarely do we pause to look more closely; To read, appreciate or question an image. Erik Kessels' multivolume In Almost Every Picture has long been a coveted and revered classic of vernacular photography. In Erik Kessels: Image Tsunami the Dutch art director has turned his attention to the abundance of images available for finding on the Internet, shared in their millions on websites like Flickr. In a world where everyone produces and edits photography, where, as Kessels says, "the average kid today gets photographed more than a celebrity of 50 years ago," what does a single image mean, and what is its status in the overwhelming flood of images? In Kessels' words: "Image Tsunami holds an enormous collection of images that I live with, that I remix and edit. It's a representation of the overload of imagery that is in my head. My hope is that the book will inspire others to make their own remixes of these images."
