Book Description
Our culture is addicted to weather: hourly forecasts, apps, radio, TV channels, alerts, warnings, and watches. And understandably—our food, clothing, livelihoods, and, increasingly, safety are tied directly to the weather and climate change. In The Big Cloud, photographer Camille Seaman stands in front of tornados, at the edges of lightning storms, and in pelting hail under pitch-black skies to capture supercells and mammatus clouds in their often sublime and terrifying splendor. In these awe-inspiring photographs, Seaman's work is a potent reminder that there is no art more dramatic, in scale or emotion, than that created by nature. Big Cloud includes an introduction by award-winning New Yorker science writer and author Alan Burdick (Out of Eden, Why Time Flies).

Book Description
On the Iron at Big Cloud presents engaging short stories about a mountain division railroad town and its people. Big Cloud was the headquarters for the "Mountain Division" in the early days of western railroading. Through a series of gripping short stories, the author introduces readers to many people who built the road, drove the trains, created the schedules, fixed the equipment, interfered with the operation, or were family or neighbors to the railroaders. These are short stories about the difficult living and working conditions on the rails during a rough, harsh time. Each character portrayed in the stories has its own unique story to tell, and not a single person, from the higher class to the lower, is too big or too small to be worth looking into. The characterization is so realistic that the readers can relate to their stories and feel what they go through.

Book Description
Cloud computing and big data are arguably the most significant forces in information technology today. In the wake of revelations about National Security Agency (NSA) activities, many of which occur "in the cloud", this book offers both enlightenment and a critical view. Vincent Mosco explores where the cloud originated, what it means, and how important it is for business, government and citizens. He describes the intense competition among cloud companies like Amazon and Google, the spread of the cloud to government agencies like the controversial NSA, and the astounding growth of entire cloud cities in China. Is the cloud the long-promised information utility that will solve many of the world's economic and social problems? Or is it just marketing hype? To the Cloud provides the first thorough analysis of the potential and the problems of a technology that may very well disrupt the world.
