– Geological Magazine Rifts and passive margins are extremely important for the petroleum industry, as they are areas of high sedimentation and can contain significant oil and gas resources. This book provides a comprehensive understanding of rifts and passive margins as a whole. It synthesises in one volume the existing information devoted to specific aspects of these vitally important hydrocarbon habitats. This collecting together of state-of-the-art information on the topic facilitates the better use of this knowledge to assess the risks of exploring and operating in these settings and the development of systematic and predictive hydrocarbon screening tools.

Rifts and Passive Margins

Contents

This synthesis derives from the author’s own long-term research on rifts and passive margins, and also from numeric validations of the concepts and extensive tables documenting the factors that influence structural styles, thermal regimes and petroleum systems, as well as the rates of various geologic processes. The book will be invaluable for a broad range of readers, from advanced geology students and researchers to exploration geoscientists to exploration managers exploring for and developing hydrocarbon resources in analogous settings.

Professor James Jackson, University of Cambridge

“An excellent and very timely book! Professor Yeats places the disaster potential of urban earthquakes within a varied context of history, local culture, public planning and politics, in a comparative manner. He presents a massive amount of information in a clear, concise, and readable style, which will be of interest to anyone working on mitigating the urban earthquake risk on a global scale. The book is also a must-read for policymakers, city administrators, risk managers, emergency planners, scientists, and students.”

“In Earthquake Time Bombs, Yeats provides the proverbial wake-up call for earthquake-prone major cities around the world. History, politics, economics, and seismology are interwoven in order to demonstrate the unique challenges each city faces, as well as the lessons to be shared with the others. This book should be required reading for both public- and private-sector leaders in these cities, heads of international development agencies and multi-national corporations, students and practitioners of earthquake science and engineering, and others who may implement existing solutions or develop innovative approaches for defusing at least some of these bombs before it’s too late.”

“This book highlights the appalling reality of the threat to the world’s growing population that is exposed to earthquakes, especially those concentrated in vulnerable megacities. The recent calamities of the earthquakes in Haiti and Nepal are simply foretastes of what is to come, unless decisive action is taken. It is written by someone perhaps uniquely qualified to do so: an earthquake scientist whose long and personal engagement with many of the cities he writes about is accompanied by an extremely well-informed, up-to-date and widely respected grasp of his subject. It is written in an easy semi-populist, non-technical style that will make it accessible to non-specialists, but with the completely convincing authority and balance that accompanies an author who is utterly confident and secure in his knowledge.

It is an impressive achievement to distil decades of global scientific effort into a compelling narrative and call to action.”

In a media interview in January 2010, scientist Robert Yeats sounded the alarm on Port-au-Prince, Haiti, as an “earthquake time-bomb,” a region at critical risk of major seismic activity. One week later, an earthquake of catastrophic proportions struck the city, leaving over 100,000 dead and triggering a humanitarian crisis. No one could have predicted the exact timing of the Haiti earthquake, but by analyzing its proximity to an active fault and its earthquake history, Yeats was able to point out the severity of the threat to Port-au-Prince. He forewarned that Haiti, the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, was woefully unprepared for such a major quake.

Now, in a shocking and timely study, Yeats sheds new light on other earthquake hot-spots around the world and the communities at risk, including Caracas, Kabul, Tehran, and Jerusalem. He examines these seismic threats in the context of recent cultural history, including economic development, national politics, and international conflicts, and draws comparisons between the capacity of first-world and developing-world countries to prepare for the inevitable. The killer combination of mass migration to megacities coupled with poor building standards is explored, while descriptions of emerging seismic resilience plans from some cities around the world provide a more hopeful picture.

Extrasolar planets and astrobiology Highlight

The Impact of Discovering Life beyond Earth Edited by Steven J. Dick Library of Congress, Washington DC

The search for life in the Universe, once the domain of science fiction, is now a robust research program with a well-defined roadmap, from studying the extremes of life on Earth to exploring the possible niches for life in the Solar System and discovering thousands of planets far beyond it.

In addition to constituting a major scientific endeavor, astrobiology is one of the most popular topics in astronomy, and is of growing interest to a broad

community of thinkers from across the academic spectrum. In this volume, distinguished philosophers, theologians, anthropologists, historians and scientists discuss the big questions about how the discovery of extraterrestrial life, whether intelligent or microbial, would impact society. Their remarkable and often surprising findings challenge our foundational concepts of what the discovery of alien life may hold for humankind. Written in easily accessible language, this thought-provoking collection engages a wide audience of readers from all backgrounds.

‘Are we alone in the cosmos? If yes, we can never be sure. If no, we might well have an answer within the decade. The 22 authors of these fascinating and informative essays say no, we are not alone, despite the fact that so far not a shred of evidence has been found for the existence of life elsewhere in the universe. But just in case they are right, we need to start thinking about the possibility that we are not alone, and here is a good place to start.’

Climate Change: A Wicked Problem Complexity and Uncertainty at the Intersection of Science, Economics, Politics, and Human Behavior Frank P. Incropera University of Notre Dame, Indiana

Under one cover, Frank Incropera provides a comprehensive, objective and critical assessment of all issues germane to the climate change debate: science, technology options, economic ramifications, cultural and behavioural issues, the influence of special interests and public policy, geopolitics and ethical dimensions. The underlying science is treated in depth, but in an approachable and accessible manner.

A strong case is made for the reality of anthropogenic climate change, while confronting the range of issues that remain uncertain and deconstructing opposing views. Incropera assesses the strengths and weaknesses of technology options for mitigating the effects of climate change, analyzes nontechnical factors – economic, cultural and political – and provides an in-depth treatment of ethical implications. This book is intended for those wishing to become fully informed about climate change and is designed to provide the reader with a firm foundation for drawing his or her own conclusions.

‘This remarkable book … offers [a] most balanced, unbiased and holistic view … respect[s] the reader’s prerogative to make up their own mind … As we enter a period of

Also of interest intense global and national discourse on this important topic, the timing of this book could not be better.

People worldwide need to read Dr Incropera’s book to map out for themselves the panoramic view of this multidimensional complex issue.’

The New Cosmos Answering Astronomy’s Big Questions David J. Eicher Editor-in-Chief, Astronomy magazine

Foreword by Alex Filippenko University of California, Berkeley

Over the past decade, astronomers, planetary scientists, and cosmologists have answered – or are closing in on the answers to – some of the biggest questions about the universe. David J. Eicher presents a spectacular exploration of the cosmos that provides a balanced and precise view of the latest discoveries. Detailed and entertaining narratives on compelling topics such as how the Sun will die, the end of life on Earth, why Venus turned itself insideout, the Big Bang Theory, the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy, and the meaning of life in the universe are supported by numerous color illustrations including photos, maps and explanatory diagrams. In each chapter the author sets out the scientific history of a specific question or problem, before tracing the modern observations and evidence in order to solve it. Join David J. Eicher on this fascinating journey through the cosmos!

‘David Eicher has more than three decades’ experience of writing about astronomy for a general readership.

His experience and enthusiasm shine through in this wide-ranging survey of current ‘hot topics’.’

Compiled by experts, this generously illustrated textbook introduces the properties and evolution of stars for undergraduates and amateurs.

‘An Introduction to the Sun and Stars is a real find for those of us who had previously despaired of finding a way to introduce the magic

The illustrations are the best I have seen in this level of textbook and have clearly been carefully selected to bring alive the most exciting new discoveries. The accompanying text puts these discoveries in a solid context and explains the associated physics in simple but effective terms.

This book will certainly appear on my recommended reading list for introductory astronomy.’

COVER PHOTO Side-scan sonar image of the wreck of one of Sir John Franklin's ships sitting on the seabed near Hat Island in southeastern Queen Maud Gulf. It was obtained in early September 2014 by a towfish towed by the dive-boat Investigator, based on the Canadian Coastguard's icebreaker CCGS Sir Wilfrid Laurier which was a major player in the Victoria Strait expedition in its search for the missing ships, HMS Erebus and Terror. (The vessel has now been positively identified as HMS Erebus). See the note by W. Barr in this issue.
