Through her dreams and visions and those of a few friends, Author Kathryn Hilton reveals the lost Continent of Atlantis and other major earth changes that will occur in the future. Mostly about the U.S.A., there is information about a few other places on the planet. Mt. Fujiyama explodes, destroying the island of Japan, setting up a chain of reactions around the Pacific. At end of the chain, Mt. McKinley erupts in Alaska, causing a tidal wave that will submerge the state of California and part of neighboring states. In Europe the submerged city of Athenai surfaces in the Mediteranean Sea as the coastline of Greece dramatically increases in size. As the Sea becomes smaller, other areas of land will rise. The island of Atlantis, landlocked for centuries, appears as half of South Carolina and part of North Carolina become submerged. A tidal wave hits New York City, flooding Times Square and most of Manhattan. Seattle is destroyed by a large earthquake and rebuilt. From the East Coast to the West Coast, many states are covered to give an overall view of what will happen to the United States. With the Moon changing position, a planetary quake, and rotation of the planet temporarily stopping, creating darkness over half the Earth, this book gives a comprehensive look at the future of our world. After these disasters have ended, there will be no more for 700 years.

Whenever a major earthquake strikes or a hurricane unleashes its fury, the devastating results fill our television screens and newspapers. Mary C. Comerio is interested in what happens in the weeks and months after such disasters, particularly in the recovery of damaged housing. Through case studies of six recent urban disasters—Hurricane Hugo in South Carolina, Hurricane Andrew in Florida, the Loma Prieta and Northridge earthquakes in California, as well as earthquakes in Mexico City and Kobe, Japan—Comerio demonstrates that several fundamental factors have changed in contemporary urban disasters. The foremost change is in scale, and as more Americans move to the two coasts, future losses will continue to be formidable because of increased development in these high-hazard areas. Moreover, the visibility of disasters in the news media will assure that response efforts remain highly politicized. And finally, the federal government is now expected to be on the scene with personnel, programs, and financial assistance even as private insurance companies are withdrawing disaster coverage from homeowners in earthquake- and hurricane-prone regions. Demonstrating ways that existing recovery systems are inadequate, Comerio proposes a rethinking of what recovery means, a comprehensive revision of the government's role, and more equitable programs for construction financing. She offers new criteria for a housing recovery policy as well as real financial incentives for preparedness, for limiting damage before disasters occur, and for providing a climate where private insurance can work. Her careful analysis makes this book important reading for policymakers, property owners, and anyone involved in disaster mitigation.

Fletcher Hanks was the first great comic book auteur: he wrote, penciled, inked, and lettered all of his own stories. He completed approximately 50 stories between 1939-1941, all unified by a unique artistic vision. Whether it’s the superhero Stardust doling out ice cold slabs of poetic justice, or the jungle protectress Fantomah tearing evildoers from limb to ragged limb, contemporary readers are stunned by the pop surrealism and outright violent mayhem of Hanks’ work. Originally featured in two paperback volumes, this deluxe hardcover collects―for the first time―all of Hanks’ previously published material, plus several gems newly discovered for this volume, making this the very first complete collection of the works of Fletcher Hanks.
