Perfect disaster examines six possible catastrophes that may result in unprecedented destruction. From a mega-sized tornado measuring two miles across, to a solar wind that could cause a worldwide blackout -- these "perfect" storms give little notice before their devastating results. See how cities such as Dallas could be reduced to rubble in a few minutes, and why London may be poised for a flood of New Orleans proportions. Understand the science behind mega-disasters, why they happen, and whether you're at risk for a major event"--Container.

The big idea : how breakthroughs of the past shape the future / by Ferris, Timothy.(CARDINAL)151336; National Geographic Society (U.S.)(CARDINAL)140388;
"From the Pythagorean theorem to DNA's double helix, from the discovery of microscopic life-forms to the theory of relativity--the big ideas of science and technology shape an era's worldview. Open this book, grasp the newest ideas from thought leaders of today, then spring off from them to move back through the past, one big idea at a time. Meet the people who gave birth to these ideas--and those who fought against them. Meet the MIT electrical engineer currently developing a way to turn on the lights cordlessly, then move back through Nikola Tesla's visionary concept of the wireless transfer of energy, Thomas Edison's groundbreaking work in developing a nationwide electrical grid, Ben Franklin's experiments to capture electricity, all the way back to ancient Greece, where Thales of Miletus described static electricity as a property of naturally occurring amber. Ingeniously organized and eminently browsable, this richly visual volume is divided into six big sections--medicine, transportation, communication, biology, chemistry, and the environment. Words and images that work together to explain such fascinating and elusive subjects as cloud computing, sunshields to cool the Earth, and self-driving cars. What did it take to get to these futuristic realities? Then, turn the page and follow a reverse-chronological illustrated time line of science and technology. This remarkable illustrated history tells the story of every Big Idea in our history, seen through the lens of where science is taking us today - and tomorrow. With an irresistibly cutting-edge look and original illustrations created by award-winning Ashby Design, paired with the reliable authority and comprehensiveness that National Geographic's world history books always offer, this is a one-of-a-kind trip to the future and back through all time all in one"--

Made you look : how to use brain science to attract attention and persuade others / by Simon, Carmen,1973-author.(CARDINAL)831367;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 321-331) and index."A full-color, image-packed guide to developing highly persuasive content that attracts more customers than ever—all based on the latest brain science. There’s an overlooked but critical scientific fact that every marketing profession needs to know: Many decisions start with attention, and it’s your job to grab the attention of every prospective customer as effectively as possible. But in this increasingly fast-paced, busy, and noisy world, how do you capture people’s attention, much less persuade them? To answer this question, cognitive neuroscientist Carmen Simon leverages insights gleaned from her use of advanced technologies to study where people look, for how long, what type of attention leads to memories, and what keeps the brain coming back for more, to determine the effectiveness of sales pitches, marketing materials, corporate presentations, training videos, and other business content. In Made You Look, Simon presents her four-part framework for effectively attracting the attention of customers and impacting their buying decision: • Automatic triggers: capture audience attention with the physical properties of an external stimulus • Guided action: guide your audience toward their internal thoughts and prompt them to focus on something rewarding • Introspection: orient their attention internally toward something they consider rewarding • Visual search: direct their attention externally toward what they consider rewarding Each section of Made You Look provides detailed guidelines you can use in your communication materials immediately. Attract attention and, as a result, influence memory and decisions with Made You Look, and lead your company to the top of your industry.

Corporations rule. The world is threatened by a new plague: NAS. Nerve Attenuation Syndrome, fatal, epidemic, its cause and cure unknown. The corporations are opposed by the LoTeks, a resistance movement risen from the streets: hackers, data-pirates, guerrilla-fighters in the info-wars. The corporations defend themselves. They hire the Yakuza, the most powerful of all crime syndicates. They sheathe their data in black ice, lethal viruses waiting to burn the brains of intruders. But the LoTeks wait in their strongholds, in the old city cores, like rats in the walls of the world. The most valuable information must sometimes be entrusted to mnemonic couriers, elite agents who smuggle data in wet-wired brain implants. Johnny Mnemonic is one of these couriers. This is his story.MPAA Rating: Rated R for strong sci-fi violence and language.DVD; Region 1; Dolby surround stereo, Dolby Digital 5.1 surround; standard format (re-formatted to fit television screen).
