Homeland Security has intercepted "high integrity" intelligence that Shahed-136 suicide drones that Iran sold to Russia by the thousands for their attack on Ukraine, were being shipped to Greenland. Desperate for more intel, General Floyd Curtis—the brains in the Homeland Command Center—asks the CIA to look into it, but they have few boots on the ground in Iran due to ongoing sanctions. Luckily, CIA operative Zana Gilani—young, inexperienced, and insecure—who was recruited merely for his l...

This publication is a summary of the content, ideas and thoughts that were discussed in the seminar on the current situation of the Mediterranean forest, systems of timber construction, stakeholders, designers, and industries that are shaping the non-extractive architectural principles it fosters. With the seminar The Tectonics of Non-extractive Architecture, compiled here, ETSALS introduced ALEC, a new research line in the framework of La Salle R+D, aimed at making our society, industry a...

Microtectonics is the interpretation of small-scale deformation structures in rocks. They are studied by optical microscope and contain abundant information on the history and type of deformation and metamorphism in a rock and are therefore used by most geologists to obtain data for large-scale geological interpretations. This advanced textbook contains a large number of photographs and explanatory drawings, special chapters on related techniques, a chapter on microgauges and a simple, non...

Unravel the mysteries of Earth's formation with 'Theory of Continental Drift Explored!' This book offers a comprehensive look at the groundbreaking theory of continental drift and plate tectonics. Discover how continents, once joined in a supercontinent called Pangaea, slowly drifted apart to form our current continents. This resource has evidence supporting the theory, from matching fossils across continents to studying mountain ranges and seismic waves. Ideal for educators, it's a gatewa...

Embark on a journey to understand Earth's dynamic crust with 'It's All in the Plates!' This insightful book for grades 6-8 delves into the fascinating world of plate tectonics, plate boundaries, and the major tectonic plates shaping our planet. Readers will uncover the forces behind continental movement and the creation of mountains, trenches, and new lands through engaging explanations. Ideal for educators, this resource illuminates the compelling evidence supporting plate tectonics, maki...

The ground beneath our feet feels sturdy and still, but Earth is actually covered in moving plates. These large plates make up the outer layer of Earth's surface and sit on top of another layer made up of molten rock. Borders between two plates are often the site of earthquakes and volcanoes. The plates can slide against each other, crash into each other, move apart, and even create mountains. There is so much to learn about what's going on beneath the surface, as is provided here for your...

Explore the immense forces of geology as deep tectonic plates and hidden currents reshape the world beneath your feet. Perfect for an awe-inspiring commute or a curious weekend listening session, this accessible journey transforms complex science into vivid, everyday imagery. You will safely navigate the restless surface of our living planet without needing a background in geophysics.Venture below the crust to witness the slow, unstoppable engines that build towering mountains, car...

Do you want to become more fluent in English?Do you want to understand everyday language and not just 'textbook' English?I taught English for many years and saw that many students get stuck at the high beginner/intermediate stage. They learn the basics and then can't move forward. This problem used to really frustrate me because I had lots of excellent students who were just stuck and eventually they would give up.I thought for a long time about what was wrong and th...

This book goes into great detail about the different layers of the Earth and how the shifting tectonic plates can cause natural disasters, such as earthquakes and tsunamis. In-depth information and stunning photographs reinforce the informative text.

This is a fascinating and intriguing book that tells the geological story of the world over the last 750 million years. The object of this book is to simplify a complex and very specialised subject so that it can be presented clearly and briefly. The author presents fourteen briefly-explained plate migration maps of the entire globe, showing the approximated movements and positions of the world's major tectonic plates over the last 750 million years. This gives “the big picture”, explainin...

Some of the planet’s most destructive forces—including earthquakes and volcanic activity—are caused by the same factors that helped shape much of the Earth as it is today. Plate tectonics, or movement of the Earth’s outer layers, can occur in a number of different ways and produce a range of results, some minor and others far more considerable or devastating. Distinct maps, interesting sidebars, and annotated illustrations of the Earth’s layers are included in this volume, which details th...
