Super Volcanoes revels in the incomparable power of volcanic eruptions past and present, Earth-bound and otherwise, and explores how these eruptions reveal secrets about the worlds to which they belong. Science journalist and volcanologist Robin George Andrews describes the stunning ways in which volcanoes can sculpt the sea, land, and sky, and even influence the machinery that makes or breaks the existence of life.

The volcano - among the most familiar and perhaps the most terrifying of all geological phenomena. However, Earth isn't the only planet to harbour volcanoes. In fact, the solar system, and probably the entire universe, is littered with them. Our own Moon, which is now a dormant piece of rock, had lava flowing across its surface billions of years ago, while Mars can be credited with the largest volcano in the solar system.

Spannende Fakten und Ansichten über unsere Erdgeschichte! Viele Fakten und Szenarien aus dem erdgeschichtlichen und geophysikalischen Bereich sind weitestgehend unbekannt. Existierende Thesen hinterfragend, stellt der Autor fest, dass die Galápagos-Inseln nur wenige Millionen Jahre alt sind und nicht aus der Dinosaurier-Ära stammen, ganz hingegen Charles Darwins Vermutung. Die Lebensräume der Dinosaurier sind ebenfalls deutlich breiter gefächert als früher vermutet und selbst ob die Kontinentalverschiebung so stattgefunden hat, wie wir sie uns vorstellen, wird in Frage gestellt.

Scientists have long attempted to understand Earth’s past, and in service to that effort, they have divided the world’s history into eons, eras, periods, epochs, and ages. For example, the current eon is called the Phanerozoic Eon, which means “visible life”. This is the eon in which multicellular life has evolved and thrived. Before this, life was microscopic (single cells).

From award-winning author Guy Lozier and Laddy Harrington comes this story filled with evidence surrounding the ancient history of humans. Humans and dinosaurs lived together, but academia does not want us to know that fact. Academia has been hiding information about human's ancient history. Evidence, here in Oklahoma, shows that humans lived during the times of dinosaurs. Also, there is evidence abounding in the planet that shows that humans lived even before dinosaurs.

Rare Earth Frontiers is a work of human geography that serves to demystify the powerful elements that make possible the miniaturization of electronics, green energy and medical technologies, and essential telecommunications and defense systems. Julie Michelle Klinger draws attention to the fact that the rare earths we rely on most are as common as copper or lead, and this means the implications of their extraction are global. Klinger excavates the rich historical origins and ongoing ramifications of the quest to mine rare earths in ever more impossible places.
