New York, NY: W.W. Norton & Company, 2022, stated First Edition, and 1st printing number line starting with 1, xxi, 312pp., . "An exhilarating, time-traveling journey to the solar system's strangest and most awe-inspiring volcanoes. Volcanoes are capable of acts of pyrotechnical prowess verging on magic: they spout black magma more fluid than water, create shimmering cities of glass at the bottom of the ocean and frozen lakes of lava on the moon, and can even tip entire planets over. Despite their reputation for destruction, volcanoes are inseparable from the creation of our planet. Super Volcanoes revels in the incomparable power of volcanic eruptions past and present, Earth-bound and otherwise, and explores how these eruptions reveal secrets about the worlds to which they belong. Science journalist and volcanologist Robin George Andrews describes the stunning ways in which volcanoes can sculpt the sea, land, and sky, and even influence the machinery that makes or breaks the existence of life. Traveling from Hawaii, Tanzania, Yellowstone, and the ocean floor to the moon, Venus, and Mars, Andrews explores cutting-edge discoveries and lingering scientific mysteries surrounding these phenomenal forces of nature". - CONTENTS: Prologue: The gate in the sky -- Introduction -- The fountain of fire -- The supervolcano -- The great ink well -- The vaults of glass -- The pale guardian -- The toppled god -- The inferno -- The giant's forge -- Epilogue: The time traveler.

Vulkanolog i nauchnyj zhurnalist Robin Endrjus raskryvaet nauchnoe i istoricheskoe znachenie vulkanov i vulkanicheskikh regionov i pokazyvaet, kak oni vlijajut na formirovanie morja, sushi i sostava vozdukha. "Vulkany pozvoljajut nam proniknut v tajny, kotorye ne mozhet otkryt ni odin drugoj prirodnyj protsess. Piki, kratery i rasseliny obrazujutsja, obretajut opredelennuju formu i izvergajutsja potomu, i tolko potomu, chto planetarnye mashiny-dvigateli, raspolozhennye gluboko pod poverkhnostju planety, rabotajut osobym obrazom. Izverzhenija darujut nam zoloto nauchnykh otkrytij. Oni podskazyvajut, pochemu na odnoj planete est voda i atmosfera, a na drugoj net; gde kontinenty razryvajutsja na chasti, sozdavaja novyj okean; sostoit li poverkhnost planety iz kusochkov pazla, dvizhenie kotorykh zadaet formu vsemu, chto proiskhodit na poverkhnosti. Oni perenosjat nas na milliardy let v proshloe, chtoby my mogli uznat, kak rozhdajutsja planety, i pozvoljajut zagljanut v buduschee, kotoroe mozhet ikh ozhidat. Vulkany javljajut primer chrezvychajnoj stojkosti zhizni, kotoraja daleko prevoskhodit chelovecheskuju. Oni takzhe pokazyvajut, kak mogut i kak ne mogut umirat tselye miry".

Condition: new. Pages: 320 Language: Estonian. Vulkaanid ei ole hävitajad, vaid hoopis loojad: vägagi tõenäoliselt on just tulemäed loonud Maal nii lopsaka ja mitmekesise elu. Nad toovad planeedi sügavustest pinnale materjali, mis aitab teadlastel lahti harutada planeetide tekkelugu ja ehk isegi vaadata tulevikku. Kas Maa vulkanismi mootoril töötav, Päikesesüsteemis ainulaadne laamtektoonika ongi see ime, mis lubas elul tekkida ja püsida? Kui elu suudab eksisteerida isegi vulkaanis, ehk võiks naaberplaneedilgi leiduda mõni veider eluvorm? Ja kas hirmulugudele Yellowstone'i supervulkaani võimalikust purskest üldse tasub tähelepanu pöörata? Vulkaanid on sama värvikad ja vaheldusrikkad nagu nende looming - nad purskavad musta vesist magmat, ehitavad merepõhja klaaslinnu ja Kuu peal tardunud laavajärvi, aga see pole veel kõik. Päikesesüsteemi suurimad vulkaanid suudavad oma koduplaneedi suisa pea peale keerata! "Mis värvi on laava, kes seda teab? Maasikavärvi, puravikpruun, sinine, mürkkollane, hall, särav kui hõbekristall, mustav, roosakas ja midagi veel? Mis asi on vulkaan, kes seda teab? Kui arvasid end teadvat, et see on lihtsalt üks koonus, mille otsast tossab auru ja millest immitseb laavat, siis on see raamat mõeldud just Sinule. Palun sea end mugavalt sisse ja asu ohutult muinasjutulisele tulemägede-tugitoolirännakule läbi maakera, aja ja Päikesesüsteemi!" Heidi Soosalu, vulkanoloog 9789949688982.

A filmmaker with a diverse background in music, drama and television, Hill proved to be a popular storyteller in a variety of genres. His films are tied to important American themes and reflect an ironic, bittersweet vision of life. The book begins with a discussion of the way Hill's films often make their most important statements on the subtextual level. The stories entertain, but the subtext is often disturbing, contradictory, unresolved. Hill felt that all of his major characters create an environment, a fantasy, an illusion, and then go on to make it happen. It continues by tracing the thematic characteristics that are consistent with Hill's depiction of protagonists who create their own environments and then attempt to inhabit them. Then, individual chapters study in detail the art, craft and style of each of his films, including Period of Adjustment, Toys in the Attic, The World of Henry Orient, Hawaii, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Slaughterhouse Five, The Great Waldo Pepper, Slap Shot, A Little Romance, The World According to Garp, The Little Drummer Girl, Funny Farm, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Sting" ; Andrew Horton is the Jeanne H. Smith Professor of Film and Video Studies at the University of Oklahoma. He is an award-winning screenwriter who has written for American, Greek, New Zealand, Russian, Hungarian, and Norwegian productions. ; "As I get older, I get more didactic. I say what I really think. I don't hide ideas like Easter eggs for people to find. Now, if I have an idea, when something becomes clear to me, I don't embed it in a novel; I simply write it out in an essay as clearly as I can?"--George Roy Hill ; photos of Robin Williams, Paul Newman, Jane Fonda, Jim Hutton, Tony Franciosa, Dean Martin, Yvette Mimieux, Geraldine Page, Peter Sellers, Tippy Walker Marie Spaeth, Max von Sydow, Julie Andrews, Robert Redford, Michael Sacks, Michael Ontkean, Laurence Olivier, Diane Lane, Thelonius Bernard, John Lithgow, Glenn Close, Mary Beth Hurt ; FINE/VG.
