Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: NEW. Limited Illustrated edition. NEW, Laksa Media Groups, 2023, 642 pages,This special limited Kickstarter edition of the book is adorned by interior artwork consisting of 19th century naturalist Ernst Haeckel's beautiful and mesmerizing illustrations of life on Earth. -- Life Beyond Us: An Original Anthology of SF Stories and Science Essays is a joint partnership between European Astrobiology Institute (EAI) and Laksa Media Groups, Canada. The anthology addresses strange new worlds here on Earth and beyond ours. Each story is accompanied by a companion essay (written by scientists working on the origins of life, habitability and life detection) about the science behind the world that the authors have included in their stories. 54 Original SF Stories and Science Essays from leading science fiction authors and scientists on alien life here and beyond. Twenty-two brilliant SF authors of various backgrounds and perspectives will transport you to the strangest places on our own planet as well as far beyond it in the galaxy and create worlds that can be filled with fantastic stories and also reflect our understanding and speculation of such places. Each story is followed by a short popular science essay exploring the fantastic and yet really imaginable topic introduced in the story, be it life in Titan's hydrocarbon seas, strange carbon planets, conundrums presented by the Fermi Paradox and so much more. We're delighted that so many wonderful authors of science fiction, both long-famous and just coming into the spotlight, have agreed to contribute a story to Life Beyond Us. We're proud to include works by Mary Robinette Kowal, Peter Watts, Premee Mohamed, Gregory Benford, Tobias S. Buckell, Julie E. Czerneda, Malka Older, Deji Bryce Olukotun, Rich Larson, DA Xiaolin Spires, Stephen Baxter, Geoffrey A. Landis, Eric Choi, Bogi Takács, Eugen Bacon, Tessa Fisher, Arula Ratnakar, Lucie Luka?ovi?ová, G. David Nordley, Tomá Petrásek, Valentin Ivanov and Simone Heller.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - JMSE | Special Issue : Tsunami Science and Engineering Recent earthquake-tsunamis including the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, with over 230,000 casualties, and the 2011 Tohoku Tsunami in Japan, with over 18,500 people missing or dead, serve as tragic reminders that such waves pose a major natural hazard to human beings. Landslide-tsunamis, including the 1958 Lituya Bay case, may exceed 150 m in height and if similar waves are generated in lakes or reservoirs (so-called impulse waves), then they may overtop dams and cause significant devastation downstream, such as in the 1963 Vaiont case with around 2,000 casualties. The after-effects due to such catastrophes are not limited to the region immediately impacted by the wave; for example, the 1963 Vaiont case affected hydropower plant planning and management globally and the 2011 Tohoku Tsunami initiated changes to nuclear power plant policies worldwide. Active prevention of the wave generation is extremely unlikely and limited to rare cases where creeping slides could be stabilized. Scientists and engineers thus work mainly on passive methods to face this hazard. In many cases, the propagation time between generation and shoreline is sufficiently long, allowing early warning systems for evacuation to be an effective passive method. For impulse waves in smaller water bodies, however, the propagation time is too short for an adequate evacuation so further passive methods are critical. Such methods include sea walls, reinforced infrastructure and the provision of adequate freeboards of dam reservoirs. These methods require detailed knowledge of (i) the wave features as a function of the generation mechanism, (ii) the shoreline run-up and (iii) the interaction with structures. Despite a significant increase in research activities after the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, there certainly can be - and needs to be - more research with the aim to reduce the destruction caused by tsunamis to us and our environment.…
