Disasterology

Dispatches from the Frontlines of the Climate Crisis

By: Samantha Montano

Part memoir, part expert analysis, Disasterology is a passionate and personal account of a country in crisis—one unprepared to deal with the disasters of today and those looming in our future. With temperatures rising and the risk of disasters growing, our world is increasingly vulnerable. Most people see disasters as freak, natural events that are unpredictable and unpreventable. But that simply isn’t the case – disasters are avoidable, but when they do strike, there are strategic ways to manage the fallout. In Disasterology, Dr. Montano, a disaster researcher, brings readers with her on an eye-opening journey through some of our worst disasters, helping readers make sense of what really happened from a emergency management perspective. She explains why we aren’t doing enough to prevent or prepare for disasters, the critical role of media, and how our approach to recovery was not designed to serve marginalized communities. Now that climate change is contributing to the disruption of ecosystems and worsening disasters, Dr. Montano offers a preview of what will happen to our communities if we don’t take aggressive, immediate action. In a section devoted to the COVID-19 pandemic, what is thus far our generation’s most deadly disaster, she casts light on the many decisions made behind closed doors that failed to protect the public. A deeply moving and timely narrative that draws on Dr. Montano's first-hand experience in emergency management, Disasterology is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how our country handles disasters, and how we can better face them together.

The Assassin

By: Samantha Harris

Rebecca Batista had killed over two hundred people. She was The Bosss favorite because she did her job well and never missed a shot. She got all the top priority cases, even that time when The Boss needed his own partner killed. Nobody crossed The Boss, and Rebecca had no intention to ever make him angry. But she didnt plan on meeting Zack either. Zack is a sweet guy, innocent and cute. Shes surprised by how hard she falls for him, and newfound love sure does change a person. Rebecca is ready to give up her violent past to be a good wife to the man she loves, but The Boss has other ideas. Zack ends up missing, and Rebecca must race against time to save him. As founder of a worldwide undercover terrorist group, The Boss is a very powerful man. Rebecca betrayed him by breaking the assassins golden rule: never let it get personal. She will now fight to the death to get Zack back, facing off against local law enforcement and The Bosss spies. Never get in the way of a woman in love, especially when that woman knows a hundred ways to kill you.

Novel Haptic Cues for UAV Tele-Operation

By: Samantha Alaimo

Outlines three case studies: obstacle avoidance, wind gust rejection, and a combination of the two. In each case, Direct Haptic Aid (DHA) and Indirect Haptic Aid (IHA) systems are designed and compared against baseline performance with no haptic aid. This work aims to show that IHA is a valid and promising alternative to the other approaches, which fall into the DHA category.
