BooksAnaxagoras and the Origin of Panspermia Theory
Anaxagoras and the Origin of Panspermia Theory is an overview of an ancient natural philosopher's revolutionary ideas on disasters, death, and the origin of life in the conservative religious culture of fifth-century BC Athens. The obsession of Ionian philosopher Anaxagoras with natural science and his utter rejection of supernatural explanations for happenings in the physical universe violated deeply venerated religious norms held by Athenian society. Indeed, his belief in the folly of the posture that humans could tease, flatter, enrage, seduce, chastise, and bargain with their gods to manipulate outcomes almost earned him a cup of hemlock, poured straight up by the Athenian multitude.

Book Synopsis:
Life today is lived in a risk society. The stark reality is that most local communities in the United States remain unprepared for disaster in spite of what occurred on September 11, 2001.
Communities must prepare if they wish to survive past the first seventy-two hours following disaster impact. This is the time in which they will be on their own, awaiting support from state and federal authorities.
The First 72 Hours details the experience and perspectives of forty diverse private- and public-sector leaders, who came together to comprise the Suburban Emergency Management Project Task Group in early 2002. In working together for two years to develop the SEMP model, the group learned that the model is the process itself.
Indeed, the single most important variable in disaster preparedness is the degree to which people in a community know one another through shared experiences, which must include disaster planning and rehearsal together—that is, all players, in the same room, year after year.
The First 72 Hours is an essential resource for professionals and private citizens alike who want to know what kinds of questions must be asked and answered to better prepare their communities to survive future disaster.
