Download or read book Whether the Weather written by Roger Peter Frey and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2017-06-27 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Whether the Weather" is not only for air sports enthusiasts such as paragliding, hang-gliding and ultralight pilots; it is also an invaluable meteorological guide for anyone interested in weather conditions. The most important safety element is making correct decisions before take-off, because misjudging the weather situation is a common cause of accidents. The correct decision is even more important than flying skills and requires a fundamental understanding of meteorology. Many pilots recognise this and want to learn more about meteorology, without going to a scientific level. "Whether the Weather" fills this gap from A to Z. On 180 pages with innumerable graphics, it explains with outstanding clarity from the most basic to the most complex processes in aviation meteorology.

Praise for Weather Witchery: "Lucid, very lucid writing! Awesome book. Practical and interesting information. New insights into natural magic are provided." (Merlyn) "Wit + Weather = Wonderful. Very informative. As always, Ms. Rasbold has shown a wit and charm in her writing. There are some very interesting facts, that show her time and effort in her research. I am highly comfortable in giving this title to my tween daughter to read and learn these aspects of weather magic. Great add to my collection." (Amazon Customer) "From Storm to Sun This Book Shines!! Thank you Katrina for this informative, fun and wonderfully useful book. As with all her writings Katrina's wit and knowledge shines through in Weather Witchery. From the history of storms to the power they harness we learn what each weather type stands for, brings with it and how to use that energy to empower ourselves and those around us. On a personal note I was able to finally release the dilemma of doing a working, am I changing something not meant to be change?. As Katrina points out, maybe my very act itself is part of the solution. Never again will I be frozen in indecision, to act rationally, with thought and good intention is preferred any day to inactivity. I was also reminded how empowering, beautiful and yes magical a storm can be. I recommend this book highly!!" (Tammy C) Praise for Days and Times of Power: "The Sun, the Moon, and Other Things. Another offering in the BioUniversal Energy Series, here Ms. Rasbold explains how solar and lunar influences, as well as yearly events and weather, can affect our own personal energies. Now that we've gotten a feel for how BioUniversal energy works from the other books in the series, we can start to expand our knowledge and abilities by taking into account these other variables. Whether you're an astrologer, an experienced energy worker or a BioUniversal Energy student, there is something useful and thought-provoking here for you." (K Albeck) "We have all learned how some people feel the effect of the full moon or how certain winds create negative energy, or the 'dog days' of summer. Well, this book goes into the important times of the year and what their significance is and how they can affect us and how we can harness that energy for positive results. Many of the important days fall near popular holidays, and it's no secret that many of our traditional holidays were adopted from non-Christian religions. As a Christian seeking to better understand God's natural world, I found this book to be especially helpful. God did make the moon and sun and stars to mark the seasons and times. We have gotten away from all that with our science and modern traditions, but this book re-awakens the ancient knowledge and can teach you a lot about the natural rhythms in our lives. Getting to read this book just before it was published has been a special privilege. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did." (Cowa)

Book excerpt: From the acclaimed author of Tubes, a lively and surprising tour through the global network that predicts our weather, the people behind it, and what it reveals about our climate and our planet The weather is the foundation of our daily lives. It’s a staple of small talk, the app on our smartphones, and often the first thing we check each morning. Yet, behind all these humble interactions is the largest and most elaborate piece of infrastructure human beings have ever constructed—a triumph of both science and global cooperation. But what is the weather machine, and who created it? In The Weather Machine, Andrew Blum takes readers on a fascinating journey through the people, places, and tools of forecasting, exploring how the weather went from something we simply observed to something we could actually predict. As he travels across the planet, he visits some of the oldest and most important weather stations and watches the newest satellites blast off. He explores the dogged efforts of forecasters to create a supercomputer model of the atmosphere, while trying to grasp the ongoing relevance of TV weather forecasters. In the increasingly unpredictable world of climate change, correctly understanding the weather is vital. Written with the sharp wit and infectious curiosity Andrew Blum is known for, The Weather Machine pulls back the curtain on a universal part of our everyday lives, illuminating our changing relationships with technology, the planet, and our global community.

Download or read book The Rapture written by Liz Jensen and published by Doubleday. This book was released on 2009-08-11 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An electrifying story of science, faith, love, and self-destruction in a world on the brink. It is a June unlike any other before, with temperatures soaring to asphyxiating heights. All across the world, freak weather patterns—and the life-shattering catastrophes they entail—have become the norm. The twenty-first century has entered a new phase. But Gabrielle Fox’s main concern is a personal one: to rebuild her life after a devastating car accident that has left her disconnected from the world, a prisoner of her own guilt and grief. Determined to make a fresh start, and shake off memories of her wrecked past, she leaves London for a temporary posting as an art therapist at Oxsmith Adolescent Secure Psychiatric Hospital, home to one hundred of the most dangerous children in the country. Among them: the teenage killer Bethany Krall. Despite two years of therapy, Bethany is in no way rehabilitated and remains militantly nonchalant about the bloody, brutal death she inflicted on her mother. Raised in evangelistic hellfire, the teenager is violent, caustic, unruly, and cruelly intuitive. She is also insistent that her electroshock treatments enable her to foresee natural disasters—a claim which Gabrielle interprets as a symptom of doomsday delusion. But as Gabrielle delves further into Bethany’s psyche, she begins to note alarming parallels between her patient’s paranoid disaster fantasies and actual incidents of geological and meteorological upheaval—coincidences her professionalism tells her to ignore but that her heart cannot. When a brilliant physicist enters the equation, the disruptive tension mounts—and the stakes multiply. Is the self-proclaimed Nostradamus of the psych ward the ultimate manipulator or a harbinger of global disaster on a scale never seen before? Where does science end and faith begin? And what can love mean in “interesting times”? With gothic intensity, Liz Jensen conjures the increasingly unnerving relationship between the traumatized therapist and her fascinating, deeply calculating patient. As Bethany’s warnings continue to prove accurate beyond fluke and she begins to offer scientifically precise hints of a final, world-altering cataclysm, Gabrielle is confronted with a series of devastating choices in a world in which belief has become as precious - and as murderous—as life itself.
