Atmospheric River: As Much as 15 Mississippi Rivers

  A huge swath of “atmospheric river” is hitting the west coast, with possible damage dwarfing that which recently happened in Hurricane Sandy. From Scientific American: “Northern California is experiencing the first days of what weather forecasters are warning will be a long series of torrential rainstorms that could cause serious flooding across the northern […]

  • Review: “America B.C.”, By Barry Fell
    To begin with, I realize this series of books I am reading makes paid scientists like archaeologists and historians crazy. It just doesn’t fit in their books.

Indeed, the author of “Continental Reckoning”, Elliot West, is a Professor of History Emeritus at the University of Arkansas. This book should be in an Economic or Law history class, and probably is. Author Elliot West clearly outlines […]
