213 pages. "What you are about to read was inspired by that sometimes illogical world of dreams, and the logical view I adopt in defending their precognitive value. This book was not written to stir emotions into panic or alarm but to provide an opportunity to take a sane and honest look into the terrifying phenomena of nature's dreams and its mysteries; and perhaps examine the possibilities of a major earthquake or a tidal flood which may occur on Vancouver Island. Everyday fire drills are carried out so people may cope with the problems of survival in a civilized manner. It is in this spirit that this book is written." Book

London, William Blackwood & Sons, Ltd., 1930. 4to.; XVII-270 pp., con 8 láminas fotográficas de Gaspar Sagarra y Torrents. Encuadernación original en tela azul. Una abierta apología de la Dictadura de Primo de Rivera y del bienestar de Cataluña y de Barcelona en particular, lugar de residencia a la sazón del autor, "especialista en eugenesia", la ciencia de moda de la época. En su juventud había escrito una curiosa utopía victoriana titulada "The Fate of the English Race. Being the Romance of a Monarchical Utopia", bajo el seudónimo de Charles Strongi'th'arm, y en años posteriores a esta su evidentemente agradabilísima estancia en España, publicaría libros como "Paradise Found, or Where the Sex Problem has been Solved", en 1936, en el que niega el derecho al voto a las mujeres, o el no menos interesante titulado "The Survival of the Unfittest", en el que debate sobre la excesiva prole de las madres de la clase obrera y caracteriza el socialismo como un movimiento contra natura. En 1933 planeó la fundación de la primera colonia eugenesica en Brasil.

Todo ello con curiosísimas fotografías del propio autor de interés etnográfico. Christensen fue un célebre aviador de Hamburgo, héroe de la Guerra Europea y piloto de pruebas de la Dornier después, que en 1930 volaría a Nueva York con el mayor aparato de sus días: un hidro Dornier DoX.
