What to Do? --References --Acknowledgments --IndexIn the winter of 1811-12, a series of large earthquakes in the New Madrid seismic zone-often incorrectly described as the biggest ever to hit the United States-shook the Midwest. Today the federal government ranks the hazard in the Midwest as high as California's and is pressuring communities to undertake expensive preparations for disaster. Coinciding with the two-hundredth anniversary of the New Madrid earthquakes, Disaster Deferred revisits these earthquakes, the legends that have grown around them, and the predictions of doom that have followed in their wake. Seth Stein clearly explains the techniques seismologists use to study Midwestern quakes and estimate their danger. Detailing how limited scientific knowledge, bureaucratic instincts, and the media's love of a good story have exaggerated these hazards, Stein calmly debunks the hype surrounding such predictions and encourages the formulation of more sensible, less costly policy. Powered by insider knowledge and an engaging style, Disaster Deferred shows how new geological ideas and data, including those from the Global Positioning System, are painting a very different-and much less frightening-picture of the future.Earthquake predictionTechnological innovationsEarthquake predictionMiddle WestEarthquake hazard analysisMiddle WestEarthquake predictionTechnological innovations.Earthquake predictionEarthquake hazard analysis551.220978Stein Seth770621MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910964891903321Disaster deferred4348968UNINA02922nam 22004213 450 991062436410332120241018181005.09789871751792(electronic bk.)9789871751808(MiAaPQ)EBC6801451(Au-PeEL)EBL6801451(OCoLC)1285780053(Exl-AI)6801451(CKB)20126132700041(EXLCZ)992012613270004120211216d2019 uy 0spaurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierNeoliberalismo Aproximaciones a Las Razones de Su éxitoCórdoba :Centro de Estudios Avanzados,2019.©2019.1 online resource (119 pages)Print version: Piñero, María Teresa Neoliberalismo Córdoba : Centro de Estudios Avanzados,c2019 9789871751808 Índice -- Presentación -- Micropolíticas de neoliberalismo punitivo en Argentina -- La ley de la atracción (al neoliberalismo).

It analyzes the impact of neoliberal policies on public debt, governance structures, and the construction of social and individual identities. The authors aim to provide critical insights into the dynamics of neoliberalism and propose alternative frameworks for understanding contemporary political phenomena. Intended for scholars and students of political science, sociology, and Latin American studies, the work seeks to foster critical discussions and new perspectives on the challenges and possibilities of political engagement in the region.Generated by AI.NeoliberalismGenerated by AIArgentinaGenerated by AINeoliberalismPiñero María Teresa1266539MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910624364103321Neoliberalismo2974419UNINA
