Air Apparent
Author: Mark Monmonier
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022622287X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
Weather maps have made our atmosphere visible, understandable, and at least moderately predictable. In Air Apparent Mark Monmonier traces debates among scientists eager to unravel the enigma of storms and global change, explains strategies for mapping the upper atmosphere and forecasting disaster, and discusses efforts to detect and control air pollution. Fascinating in its scope and detail, Air Apparent makes us take a second look at the weather map, an image that has been, and continues to be, central to our daily lives. "Clever title, rewarding book. Monmonier . . . offers here a basic course in meteorology, which he presents gracefully by means of a history of weather maps." —Scientific American "Mark Monmonier is onto a winner with Air Apparent. . . . It is good, accessible science and excellent history. . . . Read it." —Fred Pearce, New Scientist "[Air Apparent] is a superb first reading for any backyard novice of weather . . . but even the veteran forecaster or researcher will find it engaging and, in some cases, enlightening." —Joe Venuti, Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society "Monmonier is solid enough in his discussion of geographic and meteorological information to satisfy the experienced weather watcher. But even if this information were not presented in such a lively and engaging manner, it would still hook most any reader who checks the weather map every morning or who sits happily entranced through a full cycle of forecasts on the Weather Channel."—Michael Kennedy, Boston Globe

The List
Author: Michael Hamlin
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1641140917
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 94
Book Description
Texas A&M University had 280 degree plans but nothing to help me with the single, most complicated, most frustrating subject in my life-dating! My history before The List was, well-how can I say this?- a train wreck! My friends and I had wasted weeks, months, and in some cases, years with the wrong person. We weren't exactly sure what we were looking for, so we couldn't recognize when we were stuck with the wrong person. I recall it was like playing a fantastic game, but with no rules to know when you lost or if you even wanted the prize if you won. That all changed one hot August night in our duplex in College Station as we hosted a "back-to-school party." Like most discoveries, it was accidental. My roommate, Radar, and I created The List during a few hours of sheer boredom between semesters. We actually forgot about it until the magic of The List exploded in our faces! As we examined what happened with that first experience, we were stunned-no, excited-that we had stumbled onto a formula that had eluded both of us for so long, and it was so simple! We are Aggies. Simple is good! As we explored the secret simplicity of what we discovered, dating seemed less of a bizarre, painful, horrible nightmare, and more of an ingenuous, fun, straightened path to nirvana. Imagine being able to have a clear, concise understanding of what you want in a relationship, and to feel great about ending the wrong ones. It was new. It was quick. It worked! One of the most fantastic concepts was an accidental question that could shred through months of dating in one night. That question, and the secret to The List are waiting for you inside.

Our New World of Adult Bullies
Author: Bill Eddy
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 0757325114
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 165
Book Description
Our New World of Adult Bullies connects the dots to show how bullies at all levels of society follow the same predictable patterns of behavior. Bullies exist everywhere: families, workplaces, neighborhoods and communities, politics and government, and organizations of all types and sizes. And in a media landscape where conflict, crisis, chaos, and fear reign supreme, every day we see the worst behavior of celebrities, politicians, and other public figures who serve as role models. Winners and losers. Friends and enemies. Heroes and villains. People with high-conflict personalities think almost solely in these extremes. They regularly express unmanaged emotions, routinely blame others, and do harmful things that 90% of people would never do. Bullies share these characteristics, plus a drive to dominate or destroy their victims. But all bullies act in the same highly predictable patterns, regardless of their demographics and situation. By focusing on the ten hidden powers bullies employ—from their unrestrained nature and bully story to manipulating emotions and playing the victim—Bill Eddy unpacks the way bullies rely on primitive emotions and nonverbal behavior. He helps readers spot these behaviors and offers practical actions before they become immobilized by helplessness, blame, and shame. In today’s world, we all may have an adult bully in our lives sooner or later. For anyone who has a bully in their life now, for professionals who counsel victims of bullying, and for anyone who is concerned about the fraying of our culture and society, this book gives effective strategies to prevent bullies from taking over. Eddy’s six-step approach includes useful advice on how to: Recognize the patterns of bully behavior Pull the plug on the bully’s story Set limits with credible threats Impose serious consequences Communicate effectively about bullies to others Stand strong with others against bullies Our New World of Adult Bullies takes a closer look at the dangerous behavior of bullies and how to stop the behavior before it starts.

Book Description
These days, finding love online is as commonplace as ordering that coveted sweater. But back in 2003, the whole concept of internet dating was still quite new, with a stigma attached to it that meant those who were willing to test the waters faced a fair amount of skepticism from friends and family. Such is the case for Chloe Thompson, a restless 20-something tired of the typical dating scene and curious about what she might find inside her parents’ computer. With two serious but failed relationships behind her, Chloe isn’t even entirely sure what she’s looking for. She just knows that whatever it is, she wants to find it. Chloe’s foray into online dating involves a head-first dive into a world of matches, ice breakers and the occasional offer of dick pics, all while Chloe strives to shake herself of the ex who just refuses to disappear. Will she simultaneously find herself and “the one” online, or will the ever-growing pile of humorous and downright disastrous dates only prove her friends and family right? There’s only one way to find out… Click. Date. Repeat.

A New Dating Attitude
Author: Suzan D. Johnson Cook
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 0310235324
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
Use the Beatitudes to change your own attitudes as you wait for the mate God is preparing for you The number of people who wish they were married is myriad. Dating clubs, newspaper columns, and books on how to find a mate are everywhere. But no one has addressed this deep desire like Johnson Cook. She approaches this aching need and difficult situation from both a spiritual and practical perspective, applying the Beatitudes to the number one preoccupation of most single, divorced, and widowed Christian women--how to find a husband. This book uses the Beatitudes as a platform for those who are ready for the good news of God's way to kiss the single life goodbye. Pastor Johnson Cook encourages readers to develop what she calls 'betrothal attitudes'--positive states of mind and qualities of character that will help the reader enjoy her single life while she is becoming the person she needs to be to receive the mate God has in store for her. These 'betrothal attitudes' are spiritual teachings and life lessons learned by the author and others in her life, lessons that show how healing and victory can come to those who are willing to wait on God, receive God's teaching, and develop new attitudes toward themselves and their relationships.
