A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

75,000 years ago, a cataclysmic event occurred that almost wiped out human life. According to a new theory, this event may also have altered the evolution of humankind! This event released more then 3,000 times the energy of Mt. St. Helens, The catastrophic eruption of Toba in Indonesia and its impact, and the strong possibility that another supervolcano may erupt in our lifetime. The Toba eruption caused a severe "population bottleneck" in humans which lead to the extinction of all other branches of our species with the exception of one. . .the branch that survived Toba and became modern humans. Learn about supervolcanos? What are they? Where they are found? Learn how genetic, geological, and computer studies show that each human today is related to a survivor of Toba. Learn how to prepare for the next supervolcano, which many believe is right here in our own backyard: Yellowstone National Park. Learn why an eruption at Yellowstone could be catastrophic for humanity.

Présentation de l'éditeur

A revised and updated comprehensive examination of the supervolcanic eruption of Toba in Sumatra, Indonesia over 75,000 years ago, and how it changed human genetic history by causing a population bottleneck, written by best-selling author Marie D. Jones and her father, the late geophysicist Dr. John M. Savino, Ph.D. The book describes what a supervolcano is, how they form, where they are located across the globe, and which ones may be ready to erupt. Will Yellowstone be next? Features a fictional scenario of an actual eruption at the Long Valley Caldera in California, and what happens in the days, weeks and months to follow. Are we prepared for the apocalyptic devastation known as a supervolcano?
