There is a harsh reality threatening much of our future world: earthquakes. Our cities, cultures, and dreams are being tested by powerful tremors that emanate from deep within the Earth. This book, "Future Earthquakes: The Tectonic Fate of the World," not only explores the traces of the past but also delves into the gripping narratives of potential seismic events that await us. For thousands of years, humanity has struggled against the forces of nature; however, each loss has made us stronger and more vigilant. Advances in technology and scientific discoveries have granted us the ability to better understand and predict earthquakes. But are these capabilities sufficient to protect humanity from the devastating power of natural disasters? This book captures the dramatic accounts of significant earthquakes occurring between 2090 and 2118. The stories of cities like Tokyo, San Francisco, Istanbul, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Athens, Tehran, New Zealand, Southeast Asia, and Chile illustrate not only the physical devastation but also the societal transformations that accompany these tremors. In each chapter, readers will explore how these cities affected by earthquakes have been rebuilt, how technology has intervened, and how social solidarity has strengthened. The helplessness of humanity against nature is a recurring theme, juxtaposed with the resilience we display in the face of adversity. Readers will be prompted to think not only about realistic scenarios but also about the potential disasters that may lie ahead. Topics such as future earthquake prediction technologies, the risks facing megacities, societal reconstruction, and new searches for life will be examined from a scientific perspective while enriched with human stories. Within the pages of this book, you will discover ways to confront earthquakes and how we can make our future safer. Every tremor signifies a new beginning and a testament to our resilience. Now, I invite you to embark on this journey. As you explore these narratives of future earthquakes, you will once again witness the remarkable strength and survival instinct of humanity.

"Intention Tremor is ultimately a book about compassion. Sellman shows us the unseen: the interior experience of living with a stealth disease. I'm grateful for this book for expanded my understanding of a condition I thought I understood." -Michele Bombardier, author, What We Do "Lyrical and inventive, this book is a sum of all those parts that make the human spirit hard as nails as well as achingly vulnerable. Intention Tremor invites readers into multiple worlds-be it a diner, a doctor's office, or the uncomfortable confines of an airplane aisle-each recreated with vivid imagery and authenticity. Sellman writes about illness and healing with a poet's gaze, a dancer's agility, and a scientist's rigor. The world needs this book." -Sayantani Dasgupta, author, Fire Girl: Essays on India, America, & the In-Between "Intention Tremor approaches the MS odyssey with wit, grace, and an inquiring mind that is refreshingly quirky at times." -Jennifer Culkin, author, A Final Arc of Sky "Sellman's intelligence and experience as a prose writer comes through in this hybrid manuscript: poems that bristle with scientific accuracy, prose pieces that border on dreamy intensity and longing." -Jeannine Hall Gailey, author, Field Guide to the End of the World

Sandy Kamen Wisniewski was diagnosed with ET when she was 14 years old. During her childhood she hid her tremor by tucking her hands in her pockets or up her sleeves. She also avoided many social situations where eating in public was necessary. She spent her young adulthood unaware the so many people had Essential Tremor so she struggled alone. Then in 1999 she learned that a group of people with Essential tremor were meeting at a public library and were having a neurologist as a guest speaker. After the meeting she realized for the first time she wasn't alone. In 2001 Sandy found the courage to finally speak out about Essential Tremor and wrote a personal essay titled I Couldn't Stop Shaking, which was published in Woman's Day magazine in May 2001. Since that time she has written numerous articles on Essential Tremor, spoken to groups around the country about Essential Tremor, in addition to being interviewed on Chicago's WGN news and WLS News. She also appeared on the Debra Duncan Show, a Disney sponsored talk show, about ET. Sandy is a freelance writer, business owner, mother and wife. She resides in Libertyville, Illinois.
