Geology History

Ob Landwirtschaft, Handel, Verkehr oder Urbanisierung: Seit es uns Menschen gibt, haben wir die Erde geprägt und verändert. Insbesondere seit der Industrialisierung hinterlassen wir einen unverwechselbaren und größtenteils unwiderruflichen Fingerabdruck auf der Erde. Inzwischen ist dieser Abdruck so stark, dass Wissenschaft, Politik und Gesellschaft diskutieren, ob sich die vom Menschen verursachten Veränderungen in geologischer Form niederschlagen und so langfristig sind, dass wir bereits in einem neuen Erdzeitalter leben – dem Anthropozän.

When Will Hunt was 16 years old, he discovered an abandoned tunnel that ran beneath his house in Providence, Rhode Island. His first tunnel trips inspired a lifelong fascination with exploring underground worlds, from the derelict subway stations and sewers of New York City to sacred caves, catacombs, tombs, bunkers and ancient underground cities in more than 20 countries around the world.

Is planet Earth flat? Is California an island? Can you mix other metals to make gold? At one time science supported wild notions like these! But later studies proved these ideas were nonsense. Discover science's biggest mistakes and oddest assumptions about geology and ecology, and see how scientific thought changed over time.

From award-winning author Guy Lozier and Laddy Harrington comes this story filled with evidence surrounding the ancient history of humans. Humans and dinosaurs lived together, but academia does not want us to know that fact. Academia has been hiding information about human's ancient history. Evidence, here in Oklahoma, shows that humans lived during the times of dinosaurs. Also, there is evidence abounding in the planet that shows that humans lived even before dinosaurs.

From the number-one international best-selling author of The Revenant - the book that inspired the award-winning movie - comes the remarkable true story of the worst mining disaster in American history. In 1917, the lives of a company of miners changed forever when the underground labyrinth of tunnels in which they worked burst into flames. Within an hour, more than 400 men would be locked in a battle to survive. Within three days, 164 of them would be dead.
