Pages : 192
Book Description
The major premise of Ice on Fire is that catastrophic terrorist activity need not be as dramatic as suicide bombings or IEDs or airplanes crashing into buildings. The infrastructure of any developed country is susceptible to attack by relatively innocuous means over time that no one would notice until it was too late. In this novel, Dave Blanchard, a structural engineer, is dealing with the first manifestations of such a plot on a structure that represents the dream project he has been working toward all his life and which is on the verge of completion. That project is a megafloat in the form of a floating airport intended to replace Lindbergh Field in San Diego. Dave's structure also represents the completion of an idea originated in 1914 by a visionary named Edward Armstrong. (Note: In the real world, floating airports have been proposed for several cities around the world, including San Diego. More than a decade ago, the city of Tokyo actually built a smaller scale megafloat and tested it with twin-engine aircraft. The tests were successful.) In his struggle to discover the nature and the causes of the problem with his structure, he sets off a series of confrontations with the perpetrators that force him to make choices between saving his dream project and saving his girl friend, Nancy, whom the evildoers have kidnapped. The question is whether Dave can succeed in saving either or both through a series of traumatic episodes in which Dave is required to exercise the moral and physical courage to face the worst that desperate terrorists can throw at him.

Book Description
* Our summary is short, simple and pragmatic. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes. As you read this summary, you will discover that human activities are destroying the planet and its ecosystems at high speed. You will also discover : that CO2 is the main reason for the current climate change; what are the new, and no less serious, threats related to methane; that there are many solutions to minimize or even reverse the impact of air pollution; that political decisions should be made on the basis of scientific arguments and not on the basis of industrial arguments. Since the first industrial revolution in 1850, 1,400 billion tons of CO2 have been released into the atmosphere by man. This has been enough to show the damage that CO2 has done to natural ecosystems, particularly in the Arctic, where ice is melting at an alarming rate. Science clearly establishes the cause and effect link between the combustion of fossil fuels, the release of greenhouse gases and global warming. However, the future is not irrevocably doomed: there are alternatives to fossil fuels as well as technologies to remove CO2 from the atmosphere. However, the rarest resource is that of time. This is why we must now look for answers from the side of science! How much damage has already been done? *Buy now the summary of this book for the modest price of a cup of coffee!
