The Control of Natureby John McPheeISBN 0374522596 (0-374-52259-6)
Softcover, Noonday Pr

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Control of Nature'Book summary:Master how-it-works writer John McPhee has instructed his readers in the arcana of how oranges are commercially graded, how mountains form, how canoes are built and oceans crossed. In The Control of Nature he turns his attention once more to geology and the human struggle against nature. In one sketch, he explores the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' unrealized plan to divert the flow of the Mississippi River into a tributary, the Atchafalaya, for flood control; in another, he looks at the ingenious ways in which an Icelandic engineer saved a southern harbor on that island from being destroyed by a lava flow; in a third, he examines a complex scheme to protect Los Angeles from boulders ejected from mountains by compression and tectonic movement. As always, McPhee combines a deep knowledge of his subject with a narrative approach that is wholly accessible; you may not have thought you were interested in earthquakes and flood control, but he gently leads you to take a passionate concern in such matters.

A Crack In The Edge Of The World: America And The Great California Earthquake Of 1906by Simon WinchesterISBN 0060572000 (0-06-057200-0)
Softcover, Perennial

› Find signed collectible books: 'A Crack in the Edge of the World: America And the Great California Earthquake of 1906'Book summary:Geologically speaking, 1906 was a violent year: powerful, destructive earthquakes shook the ground from Taiwan to South America, while in Italy, Mount Vesuvius erupted. And in San Francisco, a large earthquake occurred just after five in the morning on April 18--and that was just the beginning. The quake caused a conflagration that raged for the next three days, destroying much of the American West's greatest city. The fire, along with water damage and other indirect acts, proved more destructive than the earthquake itself, but insurance companies tried hard to dispute this fact since few people carried earthquake insurance. It was also the world's first major natural disaster to have been extensively photographed and covered by the media, and as a result, it left "an indelible imprint on the mind of the entire nation."
Though the epicenter of this marvelously constructed book is San Francisco, Winchester covers much more than just the disaster. He discusses how this particular quake led to greater scientific study of quakes in an attempt to understand the movements of the earth. Trained at Oxford University as a geologist, Winchester is well qualified to discuss the subject, and he clearly explains plate tectonics theory (first introduced in 1968) and the creation of the San Andreas Fault, along with the geologic exploration of the American West in the late 19th century and the evolution of technology used to measure and predict earthquakes. He also covers the social and political shifts caused by the disaster, such as the way that Pentecostalists viewed the quake as "a message of divine approval" and used it to recruit new members into the church, and the rise in the local Chinese population. With many records destroyed in the fire, there was no way to distinguish between legal and illegal immigrants, and thus many more Chinese were granted citizenship than would have otherwise been. Filled with eyewitness accounts, vivid descriptions, crisp prose, and many delightful meanderings, A Crack in the Edge of the World is a thoroughly absorbing tale. --Shawn Carkonen [via]

Krakatoa: The Day the World Exploded, August 27, 1883by Simon WinchesterISBN 0060838590 (0-06-083859-0)
Softcover, Harpercollins
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Krakatoa: The Day The World Exploded August 27, 1883'Book summary:In Krakatoa, the author of The Map That Changed the World and The Professor and the Madman focuses his considerable research powers on one of the most cataclysmic events of modern history: the volcanic eruption, in 1883, of the Southeast Asian island of Krakatoa, which resulted in the deaths of 36,000 people and sent shock-waves around the world. But what at the time was a mysterious, almost supernatural phenomenon has become, under the precepts of the contemporary science of plate tectonics, explicable if no less tragic. Winchester veers between eyewitness accounts by survivors and the limited scientific measurements of the time in an attempt to describe the indescribable. The event "is still said to be the most violent explosion ever recorded and experienced by modern man," he writes. "Six cubic miles of rock had been blasted out of existence, had been turned into pumice and ash and uncountable billions of particles of dust." Yet words and numbers can barely hint at the scale of the calamity, which resulted in tsunamis that washed whole villages into the ocean and forever changed the very topography of the area. The author also explores the social and cultural topography, noting, "Orthodox Islam, its revival in part triggered by tragic events such as the great cataclysm, was totally transformed in Java during the nineteenth century, with fundamentalism, militancy, and profound hostility to non-Muslims its watchwords." At times Winchester seems to overstate his case, and the link he finds between Krakatoa and the rise of anti-Western sentiment in the Islamic world isnt especially convincing. But, by weaving together the disaster with science, communications, politics, religion, and economics, he has come up with a comprehensive and often fascinating glimpse into the way the world, and our perception of it, can change in an instant. --Shawn Conner [via]

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In ancient times the Rings of Power were crafted by the Elven-smiths, and Sauron, The Dark Lord, forged the One Ring, filling it with his own power so that he could rule all others. But the One Ring was taken from him, and though he sought it throughout Middle-earth still it remained lost to him. After many ages it fell, by chance, into the hands of the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins.
From his fastness in the Dark Tower of Mordor, Sauron's power spread far and wide. He gathered all the Great Rings to him, but ever he searched far and wide for the One Ring that would complete his dominion.
On his eleventy-first birthday, Bilbo dissapeared bequeathing to his young cousin, Frodo, the Ruling Ring, and a perilous quest: to journey across Middle-earth, deep into the shadow of the Dark Lord and destroy the Ring by casting it into the Cracks of Doom.
The Lord of the Rings tells of the great quest undertaken by Frodo and the Fellowship of the Ring: Gandalf the wizard, the hobbits Merry, Pippin and Sam, Gimli the Dwarf, Legolas the Elf, Boromir of Gondor, and a tall, mysterious stranger called Strider.More editions of The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King/Two Towers/Fellowship of the Ring:

› Find signed collectible books: 'Lanzarote'Book summary:Un après-midi de décembre 1999. Le narrateur (qui n'est autre que Michel Houellebecq) prend conscience que son réveillon du jour de l'an à venir sera "probablement raté". Il entre dans la première agence de voyages, commande un séjour "premier prix". C'est Lanzarote, aux Canaries, en promotion à 3 290 francs la semaine, au Bougainville Playa. Après un réveillon minable, le narrateur ne rejoint l'île que le 9 janvier. Lanzarote, une île volcanique, désertifiée, vaguement fréquentée "par une population équivoque de retraités anglo-saxons, flanqués de fantomatiques touristes norvégiens", une île piètrement peuplée, recouverte de cactus (toujours symboliques). C'est aussi là que le narrateur rencontre deux lesbiennes allemandes et un flic déprimé déprimant, de singulières créatures avec lesquelles il va devoir passer tant bien que mal une semaine de vacances.
Mise en scène de personnages au bout du rouleau, exercice de l'exacerbation dans la dépression, Lanzarote n'en demeure pas moins un texte drôle (peut-être le plus drôle de Houellebecq), où l'auteur-narrateur se risque au burlesque tragique, entre deux fantasmes sexuels. Accompagnant le texte, dans un coffret, et formant un remarquable diptyque, un recueil de plus de quatre-vingt photographies de Michel Houellebecq rend compte en images de cette île marquée par son paysage lunaire. --Céline Darner [via]
