Sinopse

The "Southern Ocean" reveals how this unique body of water significantly influences global climate patterns, sustains fragile marine ecosystems, and drives ocean circulation. It highlights the ocean's outsized impact on our planet, despite its relatively smaller geographical area. For instance, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), a dominant feature, impacts global heat distribution and ocean currents far beyond the Southern Hemisphere. The book also explores the Southern Ocean's crucial role in carbon sequestration, absorbing atmospheric carbon dioxide and influencing global climate. 

 
The book takes a multidisciplinary approach, integrating Earth sciences, geography, and environmental perspectives to understand the Southern Ocean's role in the Earth system. It begins by outlining the ocean's physical characteristics, then delves into its unique biological communities and its function as a major carbon sink. Finally, it addresses current environmental threats and potential conservation strategies. 

 
This comprehensive overview is valuable for students, researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in oceanography, climate science, and environmental conservation, providing a synthesis of current knowledge on this vital region.

Endocrinology - Hormones...

Ava Westwood

Endocrinology is the branch of medicine and biology that deals with the study of the endocrine system, which includes glands and organs that secrete hormones into the bloodstream. These hormones are chemical messengers that help regulate various bodily functions, including metabolism, growth, reproduction, and mood. The endocrine system works in concert with the nervous system to maintain homeostasis, the body’s internal balance, and respond to external stimuli.
At the core of the endocrine system are the endocrine glands, which include the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, thyroid gland, adrenal glands, pancreas, ovaries, and testes. Each of these glands produces specific hormones that target various organs and tissues throughout the body. The hypothalamus, located in the brain, acts as the command center for the endocrine system. It sends signals to the pituitary gland, which in turn regulates other glands. The thyroid gland, for example, produces thyroid hormones that control metabolism, while the adrenal glands release corticosteroids and catecholamines in response to stress.
One of the defining characteristics of the endocrine system is its regulation through feedback mechanisms, primarily negative feedback loops. In these loops, the secretion of a hormone is reduced or increased based on the levels of that hormone in the blood. For example, when blood glucose levels rise, the pancreas secretes insulin to lower them. Once glucose levels return to normal, insulin secretion decreases. These feedback systems help the body adapt to changing conditions and maintain a stable internal environment.

A Mathematical Nature Walk

John A. Adam

“A sharp eye and an ingenious mind are at work on every page. . . . Read this book. . . . Then go forth, enjoy the view, and impress your friends.” —Laurence A. Marschall, Natural HistoryHow heavy is that cloud? Why can you see farther in rain than in fog? Why are the droplets on that spider web spaced apart so evenly?If you have ever asked questions like these while outdoors, and wondered how you might figure out the answers, this is a book for you. An entertaining and informative collection of fascinating puzzles from the natural world around us, A Mathematical Nature Walk will delight anyone who loves nature or math or both.John Adam presents ninety-six questions about many common natural phenomena—and a few uncommon ones—and then shows how to answer them using mostly basic mathematics. Can you weigh a pumpkin just by carefully looking at it? What causes the variations in the colors of butterfly wings, bird feathers, and oil slicks? And why are large haystacks prone to spontaneous combustion? These are just a few of the questions you'll find inside. Many of the problems are illustrated with photos and drawings, and the book also has answers, a glossary of terms, and a list of some of the patterns found in nature. About a quarter of the questions can be answered with arithmetic, and many of the rest require only precalculus. Regardless of math background, readers will learn from the informal descriptions of the problems and gain a new appreciation of the beauty of nature and the mathematics that lies behind it.“Remarkably lucid. . . . ordinary math becomes adventure.” —Booklist

Emergency Management

07

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
Emergency situations during a flight can vary in type and characteristics, including in-flight emergencies, ground emergencies, immediate emergencies, non-immediate emergencies or urgencies, among several other categories. The truth is that each aircraft may present a unique type of emergency, making it impossible to learn how to manage all possible emergencies in the aviation field. 
	However, it is possible to learn how to manage cockpit resources to control the emergency and minimize its effects. Cockpit resource management in an emergency not only refers to the various systems of the aircraft, but also to human resources (the pilots) and external resources (air traffic control, company operations, etc.). 
	In this work, you will learn the main theoretical concepts of emergencies in general, and how to manage the main emergencies of a small aircraft (Cessna 172), a mid-sized aircraft (Cessna 218 Grand Caravan), and a large aircraft such as the fabulous Airbus A320.
