Book Description
About the Book In the thrilling continuation of the Fate series, Patsy Garcia is now in hiding after the Nuestra Familia gang ordered her execution for ratting them out to the police. For nearly six years she has been in hiding, with the daughter she and Sergio, the leader of the Nuestra, created all those years ago. During the COVID pandemic, the La Familia’s search stalled, but never stopped. Thinking the danger has passed, Patsy enrolls Alicea in school in a remote, rural town far away. But this only leads La Familia to discover their location, and mother and daughter must make a harrowing escape with the aid of the Cowboy Cop, Chuck Reynolds. As the three are on the run, they are guided and protected by Blanca, a Guardian Angel assigned to Patsy and Alicea, and their devoted family and friends. Only through resourcefulness, strength, faith, and a sprinkling of miracles will they survive, and live the peaceful lives they’ve only ever imagined. About the Author Debra Ann Ristau is a historian at heart who believes nonfiction should be truthful and fiction should inspire, intrigue, and entertain. She hopes the Fate series does all three. After decades of writing nonfiction, she is thrilled to offer this book as the second of an exciting series. To learn more, visit debraannristau.com.

El Niño Southern Oscillation in a Changing Climate
Author: Michael J. McPhaden
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1119548128
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 528
Book Description
Comprehensive and up-to-date information on Earth’s most dominant year-to-year climate variation The El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in the Pacific Ocean has major worldwide social and economic consequences through its global scale effects on atmospheric and oceanic circulation, marine and terrestrial ecosystems, and other natural systems. Ongoing climate change is projected to significantly alter ENSO's dynamics and impacts. El Niño Southern Oscillation in a Changing Climate presents the latest theories, models, and observations, and explores the challenges of forecasting ENSO as the climate continues to change. Volume highlights include: Historical background on ENSO and its societal consequences Review of key El Niño (ENSO warm phase) and La Niña (ENSO cold phase) characteristics Mathematical description of the underlying physical processes that generate ENSO variations Conceptual framework for understanding ENSO changes on decadal and longer time scales, including the response to greenhouse gas forcing ENSO impacts on extreme ocean, weather, and climate events, including tropical cyclones, and how ENSO affects fisheries and the global carbon cycle Advances in modeling, paleo-reconstructions, and operational climate forecasting Future projections of ENSO and its impacts Factors influencing ENSO events, such as inter-basin climate interactions and volcanic eruptions The American Geophysical Union promotes discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of humanity. Its publications disseminate scientific knowledge and provide resources for researchers, students, and professionals. Find out more about this book from this Q&A with the editors.

Currents of Change

ISBN: 9780521786720

Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
Culture Bound is designed to give language teachers a basis for introducing a cultural component into their teaching. The articles give a perspective on how language and culture interact and explore in particular the difference between interacting with another culture and entering it: language students are encouraged to understand the new culture without necessarily embracing it. This selection brings together representative practical and theoretical material written by a variety of scholars and teachers in the field. The essays are organized under three headings: language, thought, and culture; cultural differences and similarities; and classroom applications. The collection as a whole brings both breadth and depth to a topic that has been strangely neglected despite its recognized importance.

La Niña and the Making of Climate Optimism
Author: Julia Miller
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319761412
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 301
Book Description
This book examines the deep connection Australians have with their climate to understand contemporary views on human-induced climate change. It is the first study of the Australian relationship with La Niña and it explains how fundamental this relationship is to the climate change debate both locally and globally. While unease with the Australian environment was a hallmark of early settler relations with a new continent, this book argues that the climate itself quickly became a source of hope and linked to progress. Once observed, weather patterns coalesced into recognizable cycles of wet and dry years and Australians adopted a belief in the certainty of good seasons. It was this optimistic response to climate linked to La Niña that laid the groundwork for this relationship with the Australian environment. This book will appeal to scholars and students of the environmental humanities, history and science as well as anyone concerned about climate change.

Book Description
Tal vez dentro de lo imaginable os parezca algo paranormal, pero para los misterios no existe misterio, de lo cual no se pudiere, la imaginación llegar al mundo invisible que nos rodea, entre lo vivo y la misma muerte; una frontera de la cual algún día brincaremos para el más allá. Pero lo que separa estos dos mundos solo encontrará la respuesta en la leyenda de la Niña de las Sombras en El Reencuentro con la Muerte y el gemir de una alma en pena que vaga entre las sombras, en busca de su mamá, que con los llantos os espantará la imaginación, hasta donde se puede soportal el horror de ultratumba. Porque si de lo terrífico se tratara, la tortura fuera poca comparable con lo que ustedes mis queridos lectores encontraran en esta leyenda del reencuentro con la muerte. Más reitero obviamente que este libro no es acto para menores ni personas cardiacas, ya que su contenido hace un encuentro de emociones, que pudieren parecer reales en cada capítulo; ya que el reencuentro con la muerte podría ser el final pero para la venganza del más allá sea el mundo invisible, en el que no existen fronteras ni escape del castigó de ultratumba cuando un alma vaga en pena entre las sombras como la de esta leyenda de una niña que vio matar su mamá y del sufrimiento que esto le causó se fue al reencuentro con la muerte. La leyenda del reencuentro con la muerte lo que separa la vida de la muerte, más nos enlaza. El Pensador

The Oryx Resource Guide to El Niño and La Niña
Author: Bloomsbury Publishing
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 0313006776
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
Fish die. Seagulls starve. Economies wither. And that's just in the coastal villages. El Niño—The Christ Child—and its climatological opposite, La Niña, are global events so powerful and strange they virtually have personalities. Many remember the El Niño seasons of 1982-83 and 1997-98, which brought floods, tornadoes, droughts, and snow to unusual locales. Increased study of these Tropical Pacific phenomena, also known as ENSO (the El Niño and Southern Oscillation), has now enabled scientists to predict the ENSO state as much as 12 to 18 months in advance and has helped to shape weather prediction in general. Here, the basic causes and effects of El Niño and La Niña are carefully chronicled for anyone in search of accurate and current information on these natural phenomena. Chapters are devoted to the history of ENSO; its influence on global weather and on the United States, including the ecosystem; and how governments and industries worldwide are utilizing new weather data to harness ENSO's economic impact, rather than be saddled by it. A chronology tours key events, from the 15th century diary observations of colonists in Ecuador and Peru to recent events like the devastating El Niño of 1997-98, which was responsible for 23,000 deaths and $33 billion in damages. Biographies of important researchers, illustrations and maps, and an extensive bibliography help make this a total guide to these magnificent natural cycles.
