Download or read book Looking Up written by Matthew Cappucci and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-08-02 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An energetic and electrifying narrative about all things weather—by one of today's rising meteorological stars. Get in—we’re going storm-chasing! Imagine a very cool weather nerd has just pulled up to you and yelled this out the window of his custom-built armored storm-chasing truck. The wind is whipping around, he’s munching on Wawa, it’s all very chaotic—yet as you look into his grinning face, you feel the greatest surge of adrenaline you have ever felt in your life. Hallelujah: your cavalry is here! Welcome to the brilliance of Looking Up, the lively new book from rising meterology star Matthew Cappucci. He’s a meteorologist for The Washington Post, and you might think of him as Doogie Howser meets Bill Paxton from Twister, with a dash of Leonardo DiCaprio from Catch Me If You Can. A self-proclaimed weather nerd, at the age of fourteen he talked his way into delivering a presentation on waterspouts at the American Meteorological Society's annual broadcast conference by fudging his age on the application and created his own major on weather science while an undergrad at Harvard. Combining reportage and accessible science with personal storytelling and infectious enthusiasm, Looking Up is a riveting ride through the state of our weather and a touching story about parents and mentors helping a budding scientist achieve his improbable dreams. Throughout, readers get a tutorial on the basics of weather science and the impact of the climate. As our country’s leaders sound the alarm on climate change, few people have as close a view to how serious the situation actually is than those whose job is to follow the weather, which is the daily dose of climate we interact with and experience every day. The weather affects every aspect of our lives (even our art) as well as our future. The way we think about it requires a whole-life overhaul. Rain or shine, tropical storm or twister, Cappucci is here to help us begin the process. So get in his storm-chasing truck already, will ya?

Book excerpt: The Art of Looking Up surveys spectacular ceilings around the globe that have been graced by the brushes of great artists including Michelangelo, Marc Chagall and Cy Twombly.

Download or read book Looking Up written by Michele Sullivan and published by HarperCollins Leadership. This book was released on 2020-02-25 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine being born into a world where fitting in was never an option. Michele Sullivan, one of the most powerful women in philanthropy, was born with a rare form of dwarfism. Meaning she has spent her entire life looking up. As the first female president of the Caterpillar Foundation, she has used her unique point of view to impact countless lives around the world. As a child, Michele decided to life a life of meaning, by: Tailoring her differences into something more suitable for the world. Hiding from the world and live on the fringe. Embracing her differences to turn them into assets. Recognize that there was a strength within her that could help others. Looking Up is the story of how Michele became the smallest woman at the largest earth-moving manufacturer in the world. While her height has presented challenges that are different from most, it has allowed her to see things that others do not, literally and figuratively. Embedded in this narrative are unique (and often hilarious) takeaways for individuals about the importance of making the first move, being wrong at first, choosing intimacy over influence, and learning that asking for help is a strength, not a weakness.

Download or read book Looking Up Looking In written by Graham Andrewartha and published by DoctorZed Publishing. This book was released on 2021-01-12 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a forward-thinking leader, you are always looking at ways to improve your skills and techniques. You have a high level of knowledge about how to get the best from your people, and you are successful in achieving your goals. Yet in spite of your skills and knowledge, there are still breakdowns in communication, frustrating misunderstandings, and interpersonal difficulties that you just can’t seem to overcome. These barriers and roadblocks disrupt the smooth running of your business, wasting valuable time, energy, and money. As a psychologist working with business leaders, Graham Andrewartha understands that the reason these difficulties arise is because leaders bring their personal values, drivers, and biases into the workplace. All too often, this key component of leadership development is not considered, placing leaders on the back foot with everything from culture to conflict resolution to creating cohesive teams. Graham’s passion for helping individuals and organisations overcome barriers to change has led him to write his fourth book, Looking Up, Looking In. Graham draws on his vast experience as a psychologist with over 35 years working with a wide variety of professional and personal clients, and training with world experts in the field, as well as his own leadership skills, honed as senior partner of MCA Group, Past President of the Australian Human Resource Institute, and Adjunct Research Fellow in leadership at the University of South Australia. Graham addresses the unhelpful learned behaviours that inhibit truly influential leadership, and shows you how to build on your positive behaviours to effectively overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of effective communication and connection in the workplace. In this book you will learn how to: • create positive mindset shifts • develop empathic leadership • recognise your influence style • overcome limiting thoughts • build trustworthy communication This comprehensive guide to developing influential leadership is a must-read for any innovative leader wanting to take their skills, and their business, to the next level.
Download or read book Keep Looking Up written by Leland Maples and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-11-10 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I walked into the Big Spring Federal Prison Camp over thirty years ago, I had no idea that God was going to change everything about my life. I had no burden for inmates. I was only going to teach a Bible class in prison because I could not get out of it. For six years, I drove 120 miles round-trip every Friday night for that class. The last two years of the six, we drove back over on Saturday afternoon after visitation to work with the families. It was during this time that the prison system began to expand at a rapid pace. When we started into the prison in Big Spring, it was the only prison west of Fort Worth in the entire state (now we have about forty). Men with vision like Don Gibson and Emmett Solomon were busy putting people and programs in place to meet the spiritual need of the largest prison system in the free world. Linda and I were the greenest of all the volunteers. Thank God the good ones took us under their wings and taught us.

Download or read book Looking Up Study Guide written by Troy Brewer and published by Destiny Image Publishers. This book was released on 2023-01-17 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SIGNS IN THE HEAVENS. Until the mid-20th century, the heavens were the greatest show on Earth. Ancient people recognized the same constellations we do today, though they understood the signs behind those pictures in the sky in a way that's been lost to us – until now. Troy Brewer reveals the connection between the story in the stars and the Biblical account of the fall of man and redemption through Jesus. What does the night sky tell us about God's plan? How does the Almighty speak through the constellations? The answers are astounding as the dramatic truth about the cosmos is unveiled for these last days. The time is short. We should all be Looking Up.
