Marine biologist Ellen Prager has released a book titled \u201cDangerous Earth: What we wish we knew about volcanoes, hurricanes, climate change, earthquakes and more\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDangerous Earth: What we wish we knew about volcanoes, hurricanes, climate change, earthquakes and more\u201d book highlights the most compelling question: Why can\u2019t we better predict natural disasters?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
About the book:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In Dangerous Earth, marine scientist Ellen Prager explores the science of investigating volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, landslides, rip currents, and\u2013maybe the most perilous hazard of all\u2013climate change. Each chapter considers a specific hazard, begins with a game-changing historical event, and highlights what remains unknown about these dynamic phenomena. Along the way, we hear from scientists trying to read Earth\u2019s warning signs, pass its messages along to the rest of us, and prevent catastrophic loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dangerous Earth: What we wish we knew about volcanoes, hurricanes, climate change, earthquakes and more, seeks to respond to the most compelling question: Why can\u2019t we better predict the natural disasters? Part of the answer to this question is that the Earth\u2019s processes are dynamic, ephemeral, and their origin are hidden from view. However, Prager has also concluded that preparation and not a prediction of natural events, holds the key to preparing for what lies ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Marine biologist Ellen Prager has released a book titled \u201cDangerous Earth: What we wish we knew about volcanoes, hurricanes, climate change, earthquakes and more\u201d. \u201cDangerous Earth: What we wish we knew about volcanoes, hurricanes, climate change, earthquakes and more\u201d book highlights the most compelling question: Why can\u2019t we better predict natural disasters?
