Those who survive major earthquakes often report the occurrence of mysterious phenomena beforehand. This work places in front of the reader the simple laboratory evidence for the behaviour of animals, plants and objects when they are subjected to intense electromagnetic pulses.
Those who survive major earthquakes often report the occurrence of mysterious phenomena beforehand - unusual animal and plant behavior, lightning, strange clouds and malfunctioning electrical appliances. In fact these stories are legendary the world over. But are they merely legends? Are the many people who report them just superstitious or suffering from over-active imaginations? This work brings objective science to bear on these old legends placing in front of the reader the simple laboratory evidence for the behaviour of animals, plants and objects when they are subjected to intense electromagnetic pulses. In many cases they behave in ways that have been recorded for centuries - and are still reported - as earthquake-related. Written for both the general public and scientists, "Earthquakes and Animals" demonstrates without mathematics and by means of many simulation experiments a physical basis for the old earthquake legends. It also adds to the science of earthquake prediction and cautiously suggests a legitimate new field of study - electromagnetic seismology.
