Ben Davidson's flagship textbook on the sun-earth connection. The Sun, The Earth and The Disaster Cycle collects the science behind the Suspicious0bservers daily space weather briefings into one college-style volume: space weather, solar forcing of weather, and the recurring disaster cycle.
What's inside
- Space weather and how the sun drives events on Earth
- Rethinking climate narratives with solar forcing of weather
- The disaster cycle: pole shifts, solar micronova, and great tsunamis
- Prepping for disaster, grounded in the science
Who it's for
Students, self-educators, preppers, and anyone who follows the daily briefings and wants the underlying material in one organized place. Written in a college and graduate textbook style rather than as a light popular-science read.
