{"product_id":"perilous-planet-earth-trevor-palmer-9780521819282","title":"Perilous Planet Earth: Catastrophes and Catastrophism Through the Ages","description":"Reviewing our present concerns about the threat from natural disasters, such as asteroids and immense volcanic eruptions, within the context of history, this volume is written at a level that interests academics as well as general readers. It explains how catastrophic events have influenced the course of evolution in the distant past, and the rise and fall of civilizations in more recent times. Trevor Palmer argues that a better understanding of the past will allow humanity to take appropriate action to preserve civilization for the future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Trevor Palmer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521819288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521819282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/12\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 534\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.10w x 1.14d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2004 pg. 1324","brand":"Trevor Palmer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44056299208959,"sku":"9780521819282","price":141.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_baf5b0a8-15fd-4fac-84f6-0dd015dd4f74.jpg?v=1685040581","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/perilous-planet-earth-trevor-palmer-9780521819282","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
