Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an investigation into the geologic hazards and loss reduction measures applicable to the multifaceted state of California. The author reviews the state's earthquake activity, loss of mineral resources, susceptibility to landsliding, flooding, erosion, expansive soils, fault displacement, volcanic hazards, and subsidence. While California may be more susceptible to natural disasters than other states, the author emphasizes that the majority of geologic loss is avoidable through proper enforcement of preventative and remedial measures. The author employs a cost-benefit analysis for each natural hazard, finding that every dollar spent on preventative measures could save up to six dollars in future loss. These findings suggest that the prudent application of current technology and information could safeguard lives, reduce property damage, and maintain the integrity of natural resources throughout the state.

"Great American Mystery Stories of the Twentieth Century presents an impressive array of writers. These literary sleuths - American writers who hail from all over the United States and even abroad - offer stories that reflect the varied experiences of a vast and culturally diverse country. The authors in this collection have garnered innumerable honors, from myriad awards conferred by their own mystery-writing colleagues to the Nobel Prize in Literature; they all share the writer's greatest reward, however, the broad readership and popular acclaim that can only come from creating superb, entertaining tales. Some of these mystery masters have left an indelible mark on the reading public by creating characters that have entered the national consciousness. The Saint, Lew Archer, Travis McGee, Uncle Abner - these names are real to mystery aficionados who know them well and have learned much about life from them. Other writers have given birth to characters who live only in one brief tale, making readers regret that they won't meet them again. Although the modern American mystery story has only recently gained respectability as the subject of academic study, the genre is an integral part of this country's literature. In fact, it stands at the very center of a markedly American literary offering, the short story. Edgar Allan Poe, the creator of the short story form, based the world's first mystery tale on the crime story, a style of fiction that originally appeared in the beginning of the nineteenth century. He enhanced the elements in these negligible stories with such genius that he lifted his own tales to the level of art. Poe's "The Murder in the Rue Morgue," first published in 1841, has been called by one critic "the single most important story in the history of the genre." Subsequent literary detectives may have occasionally felt daunted by following the mystery story's inimitable forefather; still, they have made their own distinctive contributions to this uniquely American literary form. Among them, the twenty-three writers in this anthology of American mystery masterpieces have written hundreds of memorable stories. Choosing the writers - not to mention the stories - from a national treasure of literary excellence was indeed difficult. The sheer number of outstanding American mystery stories offers endless hours of reading pleasure. To this day, superlative writers apply their varied skills to the genre first explored by Edgar Allan Poe. Readers new to this literary terrain will enjoy finding their way to some of mystery's hidden corners - as well as its landmarks. - The Editors" - from the Preliminary Page.

Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fair. First Tuttle Edition. "This important work, long out of print, has two important and invaluable assets,: It delves beyond the books on heraldry, giving 'original evidences derived from representations of arms which exist in rolls of arms, in windows or in carvings. Secondly, its information is not limited to England or Scotland, but is liberal in heraldic instances taken throughout Europe. There is no other publication at present in English which gives such detail on Continental heraldry.' Strikingly colourful and authentic illustrations are the life blood of this vibrant work which contains no less than 56 full-page plates, the great majority in colour, and 106 illustrations in text." - dust jacket. pp. xxxviii, 858.
