Quercus, 2006. Hardcover. Very Good Condition/Very Good. From Earth we have looked deep into the universe, embarking on a journey of discovery that has revealed the cosmos to be richer than we could ever imagine. But what happens when we reverse the process, when we look back on Earth from the heavens? We see a familiar planet from a new perspective. We are presented with an atlas of an invisible Earth - an Earth that lives and breathes around us but one which, paradoxically, we are too close to see. With the satellite's all-seeing eye we can follow a thread of gold weaving its way through a mountain range; we can uncover cities swallowed by shifting sands or dense jungle; we can gaze into the eye of the hurricane or the maw of the volcano; we can watch forests disappear and ice sheets melt. Often possessing an abstract - almost alien - beauty, such vistas are the landscapes of the information age. The book travels the world in four chapters: Earth, Water, Air and Fire. Earth flies us over mountains, forests, deserts and tundra. Water follows rivers and coastlines, explores ice fields and seas before plunging into the abyss of the deep ocean. Air examines storms, hurricanes, wind-sculpted patterns and atmospheric phenomena such as the aurora borealis. Finally, Fire ends the book with volcanoes, asteroid impacts, forest fires, pollution and man's impact on the environment. 192 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: 2-3 kilos.

SYNOPSIS: A 30 BILLION TON BULLET ON A COLLISION COURSE WITH EARTH! From the far reaches of space an immense ball of orange flame hurtles toward a doomed planet. Terror sweeps the earth. City after city disappears in flaming craters or under tidal waves. World leaders are assassinated. There are mass suicides and mass orgies. There is nowhere to hide. There is nothing to do but wait. While doom cults dance naked in the streets, and the President of the United States lies with his mistress in the White House, drunk on pills and pleasure, astronauts Lisa Bander and Diego Calderon are in a riveting race against disaster. Leading two teams of international astronauts, they launch a desperate, off-planet mission against Shiva, knowing that failure to divert the massive asteroid will plunge an entire civilization - and their own love-locked destinies - into eternal, cataclysmic oblivion. THE COUNTDOWN HAS STARTED. SHIVA IS COMING. - and - You can escape the fear for a minute. With a drink. With a lover. But no one can escape Shiva. It travels relentlessly toward Earth, a great column hundreds of kilometers tall, an incandescent shaft, rainbowed and haloed, lighting the entire ocean floor from shore to shore, vaporizing the Pacific Ocean. Anyone closer than three thousand miles will turn to pulverized bone. It will last the space of two heartbeats. In the largest space operation in history, two teams are launched into orbit: the Alpha Team, armed with a 400-megaton bomb, and the Omega Team, armed with 20-megaton bombs. Each team member is one of the world's finest astronauts or cosmonauts. American, Russian, Mexican, Japanese, Italian. White and black. Men and women. But there has been a critical slip-up. One of them is a madman.. First Edition 1st Printing. Mass Market Paperback. Good. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall., Avon Books - The Hearst Corporation, 1980, 2.5<
