Catastrophe Modeling
“A catastrophic event is any man-made or natural disaster that causes huge losses, either in terms of money value or lives. They usually occur at a low frequency but often have a great impact on the company solvency especially when large losses are incurred. As a result, insurance companies put in great effort to managing catastrophe risk through adoption of suitable catastrophe models to quantify and investigate the risks involved.”

Alaskan Adventure: Stories of Our Bush Teaching Experience
“A young family of three decides to give up their 1982 suburban lifestyle in Idaho to move to a very rural village in remote Alaska. Their decision to risk all that they had-closeness of family and friends, and tenured teaching jobs to follow a dream in Alaska began with a spring break trip to visit a collegiate friend. Once the trip began, the wheels of change were set into motion. During the next five years the family experiences new adventures and trials. The highlights included in this book are but a few of many cherished memories.”
A Boy, A Ship and A War
“Claud Aldrich was a tin-can sailor, serving on the USS VanValkenburg and taking the ghosts of USS Arizona with them, since this newly commissioned ship was named for the Captain of the battleship sunk during Pearl Harbor. Claud was a poor boy, one of nine children, seven boys and two girls, drafted in to the United States Navy, an entirely new world, which he knew nothing about. There was a rude awakening for him, to shape up to the facts of life on a warship in a time of war. Learning to be in harm's way and survive.”
Kibbutz
“this story of a young man’s adventure into the helter-skelter world of life as a volunteer on a kibbutz. … things took an unprecedented turn when a man he’d never heard of before, Saddam Hussein, invaded Kuwait, and war loomed in the Middle East. With 4am starts, disgruntled chickens, sparse surroundings and the imminent prospect of incoming scud missiles, Joseph’s thoughts inevitably turned to home…”
Words in My Hands, A Teacher, A Deaf-Blind Man, An Unforgettable Journey
“Bert Riedel, an eighty-six year old deaf-blind pianist, cut off from world since age forty-five, discovers a new life through hand-over-hand-sign. This heartwarming narrative about the life-changing power of sign language communication is told by Diane Lane Chambers, Bert’s sign language teacher. Diane finds her world transformed as well by her relationship with her unique deaf-blind student. Words in My Hands is the true story of their unforgettable journey.”
GHOSTS IN THE ARCTIC-The Great White Father of Communications
“Biography of Electrical Pioneer Leroy "Ed" Parsons, the inventor of cable television. After televison, Parsons went on to become a bush pilot in Alaska and connected the radios of all airplanes flying for Wien Airlines. Later he brought cable television to northern Alaska and helped establish a radio network for the oil industry in the arctic. Known as the Great White Father of Communications in northern Alaska…”
Prisoner Without A Crime
“Jack Jennings was born in 1919. At the outbreak of the Second World War, he was called up to join the Army. He was sent to the Far East and in 1942 was captured at Singapore. He was a prisoner of the Japanese for three and a half years during which time he was forced to work on the notorious Death Railway in Thailand.”
I Am Lubo

Collapse, Post-Apocalypse, Speculative Futures
Strictly Analog
“Ted Lomax does his best to get by as a private detective in a society where almost nothing is private any more. He lives in a near-future California that has gained independence from the economically collapsed United States and where everyone is constantly linked into the web. Almost everyone. Because of injuries sustained during California’s border war, Ted is locked out of the technological culture that surrounds him. But that’s his edge: his business card reads “Strictly Analog,” and he markets himself as a man able to skirt the technological landscape without leaving a trail.”
how the world ends
“It starts with a normal day, Jonah's commute to the city is like any other. And then there's no gas. And then the electricity is gone. And then everything goes to hell. “
THE END - Book One (THE EVENT)
“What if the world suffered a cataclysmic event that destroyed almost the entire world population? Where would humanity start? What obstacles would have to be overcome? How would the survivors respond when discovering others? Would mankind revert to 'might-makes-right' mentality or would a new spirit of cooperation develop? THE END chronicles the lives of the few who managed to survive by sheer luck. Facing seemingly insurmountable challenges, they must find a way to co-exist or perish. Not knowing the reason for the population's devastation, they simply call it 'The Event'. In the struggle to survive, new leaders emerge to change the course of civilization for better or worse. Those fortunate enough to have survived The Event must begin by taking care of the basic needs of shelter, food, safety, and first-aid. To complicate matters, they must solve those problems without computers, communication systems, or even the most basic means of travel. At times the complications seem insurmountable but giving up is not an option. THE END begins immediately after THE EVENT, when the nation changes from a population of 307,000,000 people to only a few thousand spread out over the entire country and follows the survivors through the first chaotic days until the end of the first year. Each day brings new discoveries, dangers, and hope.“
Moon Shadow
“When a new and potentially planet-killing contagion is discovered, Moon Shadow, an isolated resort town located in Alaska's primitive and rugged interior, becomes the focus of a military-style incursion. Major Pepper, who is in charge of the operation, has the local residents rounded up into a razor-wire inclosed quarantine because of the danger of a potential pandemic…two…are pursued like fugitives… on the run and fighting for survival”

More Sci-Fi-or-Fantasy-ish
FireStorm
“The last of a civilization lies in smouldering ruined ashes. The people of that civilisation are desperate. The people of Aragon are looking to their leader - Sabella - a young and inexperienced woman to save what little is left. In oppressed times, her people will do whatever it takes to get by…”
Inherit the Earth
“The human race was rushing towards the brink of destruction, as huge global forces massed to strike at each other with all the awesome power of modern war weapons. war threats screamed from headlines, radio and television ... and in a small, seemingly unimportant city in Africa, a group of men worked on a discovery and a plan that was to affect Earth's entire future. They had developed a new type of creature - androids who were only the size of dolls, and apparently limited in intelligence. Yet they seemed to have a strange effect on the personalities of humans. So far there were only a few score of the androids - but in time they were fated to inherit the Earth.”
Cyberdrome
“Mathew Grey is a brilliant scientist who accidentally unleashed a man-made plague that ravaged America’s heartland, and now threatens the rest of the planet. Riddled with guilt and running out of time, he decides to use a dangerous technology to enter a computer-generated reality called Cyberdrome, hoping to unravel a mystery that could be the key to Earth’s survival.”
Going to Meet the Old Ones
“classic science fiction saga of an alien civilization on a dying planet “

Life Descending (The Cry of Havoc, Book 1)
“War, plague, and fanatical extremists promise to rip a world asunder. In the midst of this divide dwells Tom Navo, a loyal Scout for the Northern Army, who seeks to live out a peaceful life with his family. As chaos threatens the continent, Tom's imagined life becomes more of a fanciful illusion. A journey home soon becomes a fight for his life, a search for a mysterious and powerful relic only rumored to exist, and a firsthand account of how greed and delusion can make humans do the unspeakable. He must now face challenges that he never could have conceived even in his most twisted nightmares, not just for his own sake, but for the survival of all . . . In a realm full of deception and disloyalty, lust and malice, corruption and tragedy, stands a story of lords and servants, assassins and soldiers, and extraordinary beings aplenty, whose future teeters perilously on the brink of doom, as all life descends into shadow. This debut fantasy will appeal to fantasy fans who are interested in a unique story, with new angles on magic, and a different cast of characters than the usual epic. “

Seattle Quake 9.2
“They knew - scientists had been warning them for years. Yet, nearly two million people living in the greater Seattle area went about their daily lives as usual. A Detective Agency thought they had found a missing woman, an upstart radio station was on the air, and an eccentric banker had just started a round of golf. Thousands were driving on freeways, shopping in malls, awaiting flights bringing friends and families, working in downtown high-rises, and were on buses in the bus tunnel. They knew -- they just didn't believe it could happen to them. (This book is dedicated to Ham Radio Operators all over the world who open the lines of communication after a disaster. Although it was written over 20 years ago and the technology may be a little out of date, this book still honors their hard, behind the scenes work.)“
