...something is going to get us eventually--a comet already whizzing toward Earth, maybe, or exploding methane gas unleashed by global warming. De Villiers takes a virtual flight around the globe to examine the natural threats to our existence, from earthquakes to tornadoes to plagues. It's a mix of sobering facts enlivened by historical anecdotes. Take, for example, the Portuguese king who became morbidly afraid of buildings after the 1755 Lisbon earthquake or the poisonous red ants which descended on a Caribbean town during a 1902 volcanic eruption.

Driven by Jimi's incendiary guitar-playing and a heady mix of blues and psychedelic rock 'n' roll, the band soon skyrocketed to fame.

And in the '80s, after he moved for a few years from Manhattan to Spoleto, Italy, LeWitt began using big, broad phalanxes of colors so bright they play havoc with your retinas...
...experience, from how often he interacts with faculty outside of class to how challenging he thinks his coursework is to how much non-academic support is available. The numeric scores can then be compared to other schools - that is, if they choose to make the data public. "If you mix a whole lot of random data in a blender, like the rankings do, what you get is a single composite score that doesn't tell you anything," says Doug Bennett, president of Earlham College in Richmond, Ind. "Looking through all the NSSE data paints a college's personality much better...
