How the Great Pyramid Was Built (hard bound or paperback, 288 pages, 72 black and white illustrations, 18 colored plates). This book tells the story of how the Great Pyramid in Egypt was constructed over 4,500 years ago. It has a foreword by Dr. Zahi Hawass, Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities for Egypt. The book was recently translated into Spanish. Today it can be found in over 900 libraries covering every state in the United States and 20 foreign countries. This book is of interest to the general reader and especially for anyone who has visited Egypt or has an interest in archeology.

Extreme Waves (hard bound, 291 pages, 19 black and white illustrations, 15 colored plates). The world’s oceans continue to surprise us. Among the startling findings of this book is that waves 80 to 100 feet high occur much more frequently than previously thought and a surprising number of large vessels are lost every year due to weather. Smith has given a number of talks in the U.S. and Canada at aquariums, nautical or marine museums, and yacht clubs, and invariably someone comes up afterwards with a “big wave” story. This book is of interest to the general reader, sailors, and anyone living in coastal zones where tsunami are a possibility.

Hard bound - $32.00 ($27.95 + $4.05 Tax, Shipping, Handling)

Lightning: Fire from the Sky, (paperback, 304 pages, 20 black and white illustrations, 12 colored plates). Smith’s most recent book explains, in an uncomplicated manner, what causes lightning, how it propagates, what it can do to humans and infrastructure, and how to protect yourself from its devastating effects. There are some surprising findings: Lightning strikes 100 times per second, somewhere in the world; of 10 people struck by lightning, 3 die immediately, but 3 more will die a few years later from the lingering effects. Most survivors suffer from a host of physical and mental problems. An ideal present for golfers, boaters, and other outdoors sports enthusiasts. You just might save someone’s life!
