Levant explains what fracking is and explores what its enemies do not want you to know and why it has the potential to change our future. In "Groundswell," Ezra Levant examines the fracking revolution. Fracking (from "fracturing") involves injecting millions of gallons of water mixed with sand and chemicals into a well deep underground to fracture shale rock and release previously inaccessible reserves of oil and gas.

Waking the giant : how a changing climate triggers earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanoes / by McGuire, Bill,1954-(CARDINAL)387587;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 271-282) and index.The storm after the calm -- Once and future climate -- Nice day for an eruption -- Bouncing back -- Earth in motion -- Water, water, everywhere -- Reawakening the giant."The ground beneath our feet may seem safe and solid, but earthquakes, volcanic blasts and other hazardous natural phenomena leave us in no doubt that this isn't the case. The Earth is a dynamic planet of shifting tectonic plates that is responsive to change, particularly when there is a dramatic climate transition. We know that at the end of the last Ice Age, as the great glaciers disappeared, the release in pressure allowed the crust beneath to bounce back. At the same time, staggering volumes of melt water poured into the ocean basins, warping and bending the crust around their margins. The resulting tossing and turning provoked a huge resurgence in volcanic activity, seismic shocks, and monstrous landslides -- the last both above the waves and below. The frightening truth is that temperature rises expected this century are in line with those at the end of the Ice Age. All the signs, warns geophysical hazard specialist Bill McGuire, are that unmitigated climate change due to human activities could bring about a comparable response. Using evidence accumulated from studies of the recent history of our planet, and gleaned from current observations and modeling, he argues convincingly that we ignore at our peril the threats that presented by climate change and the waking giant beneath our feet."--Cover.

The lost civilization of Suolucidir / by Daitch, Susan,author.(CARDINAL)755397;
First collapse -- Silent, deserted, fallen cities -- The book of smoke -- Hilliard and Congreaves."A series of archeological expeditions unfolds through time, each one looking for the ruins of a fabled underground city-state that once flourished in a remote province near the border of present-day Iran, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Sealed off for centuries by seismic activity, Suolucidir beckons with the promise of plunder and the glory of discovery, fantasies as varied as the imaginations of her aspiring modern-day conquerors. As the tumult of the twentieth century's great wars, imperial land grabs and anti-colonial revolutions swirl across its barren, deserted landscape, the ancient city remains entombed below the surface of the earth. A succession of adventurers, speculators and unsavory characters arrive in search of their prize, be it archeological treasure, oil, or evidence of crimes and punishments. Intrigue, conspiracies, and counter-plots abound, and contemporary events interfere with each expedition, whether in the form of the Axis advance, British Petroleum, or the Revolutionary Guards. People disappear, relics are stolen, and the city closes in upon itself once more. A satiric, post-colonial adventure story of mythic proportions, The Lost Civilization of Suolucidir takes place against a background of actual events, in a part of the world with a particular historical relationship to Russia and the West. But though we are treated to visual "evidence" of its actual existence, Suolucidir remains a mystery, perhaps an invention of those who seek it, a place where history and identity are subject to revision, and the boundaries between East and West are anything but solid, reliable, or predictable"--

Development and testing of a seismic pavement analyzer / by Nazarian, Soheil,1955-(CARDINAL)323585; Baker, Mark Richard,1954-(CARDINAL)323587; Crain, Kevin.(CARDINAL)323583; Strategic Highway Research Program (U.S.)(CARDINAL)298325; University of Texas at El Paso.Center for Geotechnical and Highway Materials Research.(CARDINAL)323584;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 131-133).Executive summary -- Introduction -- Description of pavement conditions and maintenance activities -- Developing of specifications for measurement -- Principles of measurements -- Seismic pavement analyzer overview -- Description of the device -- Data collection and reduction -- Case studies: General comments -- Case studies: Local sites -- Case studies: Texas sites -- Case studies: Georgia sties -- Summary, conclusions, and recommendations -- References -- Appendices.The Seismic Pavement Analyzer (SPA) is an instrument designed and constructed to monitor conditions associated with pavement deterioration. It measures voids or loss of support under a rigid pavement, moisture infiltration in asphalt concrete pavement, fine cracking in pavements delamination of overlays, and aging of asphalt. is report describes the device and summarizes the usefulness of the equipment in maintenance activities. The operation of the SPA to determine different types of distress precursors is briefly illustrated. This report discusses results from several field tests. The specifications and design of different components of the device and a manual of operation are presented in a companion report.
