Book excerpt: Si voler aux Etats-Unis est un rêve pour nombre de pilotes européens, les différences tant culturelles que procédurales qui existent avec notre environnement quotidien nécessitent une transition pour laquelle il n'est pas toujours aisé de se préparer. Pilote professionnel et instructeur résidant aux Etats-Unis depuis plus de quinze ans, François Bergeon connaît bien le paysage aéronautique d'outre-Atlantique pour l'avoir enseigné, tant à ses élèves américains qu'à de nombreux visiteurs étrangers déjà brevetés. L'expérience incomparable de l'auteur lui permet de présenter une formation détaillée destinée à préparer un pilote à voler en solo dans cet environnement nouveau. Ancien élève de Jean Zilio, champion de voltige d'Arizona en 1999 et ex-pilote de recherches de la Civil Air Patrol, François Bergeon est qualifié sur une grande variété d'appareils - des biplans de voltige aux bombardiers de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Ses articles sont publiés régulièrement dans les colonnes d'Aviasport. Cet ouvrage illustre avec des exemples concrets les différences de réglementation, de procédures, mais aussi d'habitudes culturelles qui attendent un aviateur européen désireux de louer un appareil aux Etats-Unis, et le prépare aux nuances et aux subtilités qu'il lui faudra assimiler. Au cours de ce parcours initiatique, le lecteur découvrira le pragmatisme et le bon sens qui font parfois défaut de ce côté-ci de l'Atlantique, mais qui permettent aux pilotes américains d'opérer avec un degré de liberté inconnu chez nous. Cette même liberté qui reste accessible à tout aviateur relevant le défi de voler aux USA.

Book excerpt: ANGELIC FACT NUMBER 100: Having wings doesn't make one noble; it simply makes one fly. Naya and Adam have nothing in common. Besides black wings. The same birthday. And fathers who are as close as brothers. But nothing else. Sweet, diligent Naya has always abided by the rules. Arrogant, uncivil Adam has made it his life's mission to break each one. She is the beloved daughter of an archangel. He is the guilds' resident bad boy . . . well, bad fletching. When Naya thrusts herself in Adam's life to request a place on his clandestine team of guardians, he turns her away. The last thing his unsanctioned squad needs is an archangel's attention, and the last thing he needs is a bubbly, blonde distraction with a sinful voice and soulful eyes. Problem is, Naya suddenly, and inexplicably, becomes the only thing he wants. Fans of steamy supernatural romance will want to scroll up and one-click to start reading the enemies-to-lovers trilogy finale today.

Internationally recognised leaders in their respective fields provide an analytical synopsis of the area, review current research and outline their philosophical approach to the subject. Volume 3 of the fourth edition reviews the processes of pregnancy and lactation in mammals, incorporating marsupials, non-primate eutherians and primates including man. Book one covers pregnancy from ovulation to pre-parturition, book two reviews fetal physiology, parturition and lactation. The extensive coverage of the physiology of human reproduction and lactation makes this volume a particularly important reference source for researchers in human fertility control, while the review of large animal reproduction is relevant to veterinary and para-veterinary workers.

Download or read book Social Behaviour written by Tamás Székely and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-11-18 with total page 809 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humans live in large and extensive societies and spend much of their time interacting socially. Likewise, most other animals also interact socially. Social behaviour is of constant fascination to biologists and psychologists of many disciplines, from behavioural ecology to comparative biology and sociobiology. The two major approaches used to study social behaviour involve either the mechanism of behaviour - where it has come from and how it has evolved, or the function of the behaviour studied. With guest articles from leaders in the field, theoretical foundations along with recent advances are presented to give a truly multidisciplinary overview of social behaviour, for advanced undergraduate and graduate students. Topics include aggression, communication, group living, sexual behaviour and co-operative breeding. With examples ranging from bacteria to social mammals and humans, a variety of research tools are used, including candidate gene approaches, quantitative genetics, neuro-endocrine studies, cost-benefit and phylogenetic analyses and evolutionary game theory.

Download or read book Activity Patterns in Small Mammals written by S. Halle and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental conditions change considerably in the course of 24 h with respect to abiotic factors and intra- and interspecific interactions. These changes result in limited time windows of opportunity for animal activities and, hence, the question of when to do what is subject to fitness maximisation. This volume gives a current overview of theoretical considerations and empirical findings of activity patterns in small mammals, a group in which the energetic and ecological constraints are particularly severe and the diversity of activity patterns is particularly high. Following a comparative ecological approach, for the first time activity timing is consequently treated in terms of behavioural and evolutionary ecology, providing the conceptual framework for chronoecology as a new subdiscipline within behavioural ecology. An extensive Appendix gives an introduction to methods of activity modelling and to tools for statistical pattern analysis.
