Описание: Jake Walker, left the relative financial sanctuary, as an in-house security consultant, for a large tech firm, for the uncertainty of private practice. He had only been in practice a short time, when, what would probably turn out to be his biggest case, falls into his lap. The case involves drugs, kidnapping, and the chain of events, that can occur, when innocent people become entangled in them. His subsequent investigation, has him interacting with local law enforcement, in both Vancouver, and Washington State, as well as R.C.M.P. Early in the case, Jake brings in long time friend, Carla Rossi, and their professional relationship, grows to much more than that. The case leads them up and down the Pacific coast, on both sides of the border, as well as deep into the beautiful British Columbia interior, with some unexpected twists and turns, along the way.
Описание: Japan, which is among the most earthquake-prone regions in the world, has a long history of responding to seismic disasters. However, despite advances in earthquake-related safety technologies, the destructiveness of the magnitude 9 class earthquake and tsunami that struck the country on 3/11 raised profound questions about how societies can deal effectively with seismic hazards. This important book places the devastating earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear meltdown disaster in historical perspective, examining conceptions of earthquakes since the seventeenth century, the diverse ways actual earthquakes and their aftermath played out, and their enduring social and scientific significance. By looking backward, Gregory Smits identifies future pitfalls to avoid and assesses the allocation of resources for dealing with future earthquake and tsunami disasters. He criticizes Japan s postwar quest for earthquake prediction and the concept of characteristic earthquakes. Focusing on the social dimensions, Smits argues that earthquakes are so chaotic as to be unpredictable, not only geologically but also in their social and cultural effects. Therefore, he contends, the best hope for future disaster mitigation is antiseismic engineering and flexible disaster-relief capabilities. As the first sustained historical analysis of destructive earthquakes and tsunamis, this book is an essential resource for anyone interested in Japan, natural disasters, seismology, and environmental history.
