  A straightforward and fact-based exploration of how weather happens, how it relates to climate, and how science answers major questions about Earth as a system 
   
   
    
  Climate change is one of the most hotly contested environmental topics of our day. To answer criticisms and synthesize available information, scientists have been driven to devise increasingly complex models of the climate system. This book conveys that the basics of climate and climate change have been known for decades, and that relatively simple descriptions can capture the major features of the climate system and help the general public understand what controls climate and weather, and how both might be changing. 
   
   
    
  Renowned environmental scientist and educator John D. Aber distills what he has learned from a long fascination with weather and climate, the process of science, and the telling of the story of science. This is not a book about policies and politics. Instead, it explores how weather happens, how it relates to climate, and how science has been used to answer major questions about the Earth as a system and inform policies that have reversed environmental degradation. By providing a guided tour of the science of weather, this thoughtful survey will contribute clarity and rationality to the public understanding of climate change.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  The selection process for pilots in an international airline is based on a series of evaluative stages that test the candidate or applicant for the position. The interviewed pilot who applies for an operational position in an airline must meet a series of technical and personal requirements that will determine the professional profile that each company is seeking. 
  	It is important to understand that in the event that the applicant is rejected by the airline, it does not necessarily mean that they lack the suitability or necessary skills for the position, but rather that the overall profile of the applicant may not align with the professional profile that the company is looking for. 
  	In this work, you will learn all the details of each stage of the selection process, along with the necessary tools to succeed in your job interviews. It is a work dedicated to analyzing the different professional profiles that airlines are seeking, examining each point to consider at each stage of the selection process. 
  	This work will provide you with all the tools to elevate your upcoming job interviews to the highest professional level, and to assist you in achieving this, it will share the success stories of pilots who have traveled a similar path. Real stories of professional success.

  Wyl Menmuir’s The Draw of the Sea is a beautifully written and deeply moving portrait of the Cornish Coast and the people who make their livings there, examining the ephemeral but universal pull the sea holds over the human imagination.‘A beautiful portrait of lives shaped by the swell of ocean and tide - a powerful salt-thread of connection’ -  Raynor Winn, author of The Salt Path Since the earliest stages of human development, the sea has fascinated and entranced us. It feeds us, sustaining communities and providing livelihoods, but it also holds immense destructive power which can take all those away in an instant.   It connects us to far away places, offering the promise of new lands and voyages of discovery, but also shapes our borders, carving divisions between landmasses and eroding the very ground beneath our feet. In this beautifully-written meditation on what it is that draws us to the waters' edge, author Wyl Menmuir tells the stories of the people whose lives revolve around the sea in the Cornish community where he lives. In twelve interlinked chapters, Menmuir explores the lives of local fishermen steeped in the rich traditions of a fishing community, the beachcombers who wander the shores in search of the varied objects which wash ashore and the stories they tell, and all number of others who have made their lives on the beautiful Cornwall coast.  In the specifics of these livelihoods and their rich histories and traditions, Wyl Menmuir captures the universal human connection to the sea. Into this seductive tapestry, Wyl weaves the story of how the sea has beckoned, consoled and restored him. This book is a meaningful and moving work into how we interact with the environment around us, and how it comes to shape the course of our lives. As unmissable as it is compelling, as profound as it is personal, this must-read book will delight anyone familiar with the intimate and powerful pull which the sea holds over us.
