Salem Press, Robert Carmichael, "Notable Natural Disasters, Second Edition"
English | 2017 | ISBN: 1682173321 | PDF | pages: 1196 | 117.8 mb
A chronological survey of more than 100 of the worst disasters in history, including such recent events as the 2015 Mount Everest avalanches, 2015 Nepal earthquake, and Super Storm Sandy. Previously published in Salem Press s Magill s Choice series (2007), this edition is updated and expanded. It includes such recent events as the earthquake in Nepal in 2015; the 2011 Fukushima earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disaster in Japan; and the Zika epidemic, which was recognized an official public health emergency of international concern by the World Health Organization (WHO) from February to November, 2016. Some books about disasters focus on the science, using events as examples but without providing detailed narrative descriptions of what happened. Disaster chronologies, on the other hand, describe events in varying degrees of detail, but generally do not offer a look at the underlying scientific principles and other general concerns. This book was conceived to address both aspects in an accessible manner that is scholarly rather than sensationalized. The three-volume set combines clearly explained scientific concepts with gripping narrative details about 163 significant disastrous events from history. Notable Natural Disasters, 2nd edition, is illustrated with ample photographs, maps, tables and diagrams to aid the reader. Volume 1 includes 23 overviews of significant natural events that are frequently involved in disasters: Avalanches Heat Waves Blizzards, Freezes, Ice Storms Hail Hurricanes Typhoons & Cyclones Droughts Icebergs & Glaciers Dust Storms & Sandstorms Land-, Mud-, & Rockslides Earthquakes El Niño Meteorites & Comets Epidemics Smog Explosions Tornadoes Famines Tsunamis Fires Volcanic Eruptions Floods Wind Gusts Fog Each overview focuses on scientific explanation, opening with a few sentences that define the natural phenomena and its importance. Several sections follow, including: Science: explains the science behind the phenomenon in general terms understandable to the layperson; Geography: gives the names and descriptions of the continents, countries, regions, or types of locations where the phenomena occur; Prevention and Preparations: describes measures that can be taken to prevent or predict disasters to avoid or minimize the loss of life and property, including drills, warning systems, and evacuation orders; Rescue and Relief Efforts: explains what is done in the aftermath of disasters to find and treat casualties, including typical wounds received and any special challenges faced by rescue workers. This section also includes efforts of relief organizations and programs; Impact: describes the typical short-term and long-term effects on humans, animals, property, and the environment of these phenomena; Historical Overview: gives a broad sense of the disaster type beginning with the first recorded occurrences and offering highlights of notable events up to the present day; Milestones: a table of major events, such as significant disasters, relevant scientific discoveries, and establishment dates for programs, organizations, and classification systems. Written by experts in the field, this edition of Notable Natural Disasters is sure to be a welcome addition to public and academic libraries of all sizes.

Genre and Second Language Writing enters into this important debate, providing an accessible introduction to current theory and research in the area of written genres-and applying these understandings to the practical concerns of today's EFL/ESL classroom. Each chapter includes discussion and review questions and small-scale practical research activities.

For some people, the grief journey takes longer, or it is delayed beyond the first year as a result of complicating factors. This book addresses some of the specific losses such as death after extended illness, death of a child, suicide, violent or unresolved deaths, and why those may lengthen or stall the person's ability to approach the necessary transitions of grief in a healthy or complete manner. Doug provides insights and suggestions for developing ways to express feelings and cope with the loss and how to seek the help that is vital. As he does in each of his writings, Doug focuses on allowing the readers to feel normal in their search and to discover the answers that are right for them.

The Routledge Handbook of Second Language Acquisition and Technology

Technology- mediated language learning has matured over the past few decades, with various tools and contexts now widely used in language education for all ages and levels. Many of today's language learners have experienced technology as an ever- present feature both within and beyond the classroom, highlighting how the role of technology has expanded into many daily activities, and underscoring how research in Second Language Acquisition (SLA) can inform and support the use of established and emerging technologies. The role of technology in language learning has continued to grow, with the recent COVID- 19 global pandemic further demonstrating the potential contributions of technology for supporting and facilitating second language development. Answering this increasing interest, this Handbook provides students, teachers, and scholars with a comprehensive collection of chapters on foundational topics and key issues related to technology, SLA, and where relevant, pedagogical applications.
