Van Dorn\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn Saturday, November 1, 1952, a momentous event in history took place in total secrecy - the United States detonated the world's first \"Super Bomb\" at Eniwetok Atoll, Marshall Islands. A thermonuclear device, codenamed Mike, demonstrated the capability of producing a fusion reaction on earth, a process similar to that which powers the sun. This book is a riveting historical account of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography's involvement in that test, because of uncertainty that Mike might blow a section of the atoll away, thus generating a dangerous tsunami. Three days later, a natural earthquake generated a large tsunami in the northwestern Pacific. The author conjectures whether it would have been deemed coincidental had the real tsunami occurred three days earlier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 384\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 07, 2008\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42718061002815,"sku":"9781425775391","price":58.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/66d30877b8488f6027102621d95973c7.webp?v=1765080597","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/ivy-mike-hardcover","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
