A Journey In My Head Unintended consequences. Unknown unknowns. The "Streisand Effect". Call it what you want, but the outcomes of our actions are often unexpected or even the opposite of our intentions. A newspaper hacking a child's cellphone messages to get a story that ruins and closes the newspaper. The local council trying to block a schoolgirl's blogs about her school meals that meant it went viral. Bankers fixing interest rates for short-term gains not understanding the long-term outcomes for their company or industry. And of course the mother of the phrase, the Hollywood film star who wanted to block an aerial photograph of her California home. It all begins with the theft of a boat and ends up with the seconds ticking away towards the end of the Universe. Jack and Helen Riley are back in the thick of it, but who knows how things will turn out. That is the unknown unknown.

At the Point of Death Can the flap of a butterfly's wings in Brazil end up as a tornado in Texas? Chaos theory says yes it can. It says that dynamic systems are sensitive to their initial conditions and the slightest differences can have huge and unpredictable outcomes. So to guard against chaos we have laws and systems, procedures and regulations. Except they don't always work. A microscopic fault in a jet engine that brings down an airliner. A piece of foam that destroys a space shuttle. A virus mutation that goes on to kill millions. In the end, everything is subject to the laws of nature, including the laws of human nature, and if chaos theory applies to human nature, it might not take much to shift a person from law abiding to law breaking. In 2020, a terrorist organisation sets out to do just that. Create chaos. To bring society to that point where law and order breaks down. Across the world, wave after wave of atrocities begin to tip the balance. But what is the ultimate goal of the terrorists? In a hectic and sometimes chaotic journey from an idyllic Greek island to the International Space Station, it is up to Jack and Helen Riley to find out and stop them.

The Hand of God It is the fate of humanity to worry about the future. Where will it all end? When will the next asteroid collide with Earth? When will Yellowstone erupt? What happens when the San Andreas Fault finally fails? Cosmologists think in even bigger terms. What is the fate of the Universe? A Big Crunch or the Big Freeze? At some point, someone will have an answer to all of these questions. It might not be an answer we want to hear. Fendrel was a young medieval page, accompanying his master on a journey to the Holy Land to join the Third Crusade. Little did he expect to see a vision of the doom of the world, and even less did he expect that eight hundred years later he would be helping to save humanity from extinction.

In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.The great Biblical flood so described in Genesis has long been a subject of fascination and speculation. In the 19th century the English archbishop James Ussher established it as having happened in the year 2348 B.C., calculating what was then taken as the age of the earth and working backward through the entire series of Biblical "begats." Proof of the flood, which is an element of so many creation myths, began in earnest when archaeology started connecting physical evidence with Biblical story. The dream of proving the Bible as literal truth has proven irresistible, producing both spurious claims and serious scholarship.As best-selling historian Ian Wilson reveals in this fascinating new book, evidence of a catastrophic event has been building steadily, culminating in the work of William Ryan and Walter Pitman. Several years ago Ryan and Pitman had posited that around 5600 BC there had an inundation in the Black Sea of such proportions that it turned the freshwater lake into a saltwater lake by connecting it to the Mediterranean. Were that true, they estimated that there would be signs of civilization 300 feet below the surface of the Black Sea. In September 2000, using his famous underwater equipment, Robert Ballard (of SS Titanic fame) explored parts of the Black Sea near the Turkish shore and found the remains of wood houses. There had been a flood, and whether God's wrath or not it had destroyed everything around it for hundreds of miles, killing tens of thousands of people.Exploring all the archeological evidence, Wilson explains how the Black Sea flood and the Biblical flood have to be connected. In particular, Wilson argues, learnedly and persuasively, that the center of the civilized world was further to the West than previously thought-not in Egypt or Mesopotamia but in what is today Northern Turkey. The earliest, antediluvian civilizations may have migrated east into those places we have come to call the cradles of civilization, forced by the Black Sea flood to create new settlements. Scrupulous in its details and compelling in its sweep, Before the Flood is narrative detective history at its most provocative, contributing a vital new chapter to the debate about the Bible and origins of the modern world.
