  "Look at the birds"
  Through the painful days of the pandemic stuck in her home, Courtney Ellis found herself looking down in despair. Soon after, her beloved grandfather died unexpectedly.
  It was around this same time that Ellis took up watching birds. "Took up" might not be exactly right—as she puts it, "the switch flipped," and she's been borderline obsessed with birds ever since.
  Looking Up is a meditation on birding as a practice of hope. Weaving together stories from her own life, including the death of her grandfather, with reflections on birds of many kinds, Ellis invites us to open our eyes to the goodness of God both in the natural world and in our own lives. By "looking up" to the birds, Ellis found the beauty and wonder of these creatures calling her out of her darkness into the light and hope of God's promises.
  Complete with bird songs at the beginning of each track, this audiobook enhances your experience as you look up and listen to the birds.

  Aeronautical management encompasses the strategic planning, direction, and control of aviation operations. This field integrates principles of business management with the technical and regulatory aspects of aviation to ensure the efficient and safe operation of airlines, airports, and related services. 
    
  Operations management focuses on the day-to-day activities necessary to run an airline or airport, including scheduling flights, managing ground services, and coordinating with air traffic control. Safety and security ensure compliance with aviation safety standards and security regulations. This area involves risk management, emergency planning, and maintaining up-to-date safety protocols. Financial management involves budgeting, financial planning, and cost control to maintain profitability. It also includes revenue management, which involves optimizing pricing strategies and managing ancillary revenues. 
    
  Human resources management covers the recruitment, training, and retention of aviation personnel, including pilots, cabin crew, ground staff, and maintenance engineers. Marketing and customer service focus on promoting aviation services, building brand loyalty, and ensuring high levels of customer satisfaction through effective communication and service delivery. Regulatory compliance ensures that operations adhere to national and international aviation regulations, including managing relationships with regulatory bodies such as the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) and ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization). Environmental management addresses the environmental impact of aviation operations, promoting sustainable practices and compliance with environmental regulations.

  Cryptids: How We Know They are Real

  When you stare into the shadows... do the shadows stare back? 
  Sasquatch! Mothman! Nessie! The Jackalope! Many cryptids are famous, but which ones are real? Search beyond blurry photos and sketchy eye-witness accounts to examine physical evidence of cryptids that shows... how we know they are real. 
  Sample passages: 
  From Chapter 1 
  "Studying cryptids sharpens the mental tools needed to cut through the thickets of misleading and incomplete evidence. The skills you’ll practice as you judge the existence of Bigfoot can be used to analyze any number of scientific, commercial, political, or philosophical claims. The study of cryptids can lead the open-minded explorer into a better understanding and appreciation of our world. 
  From Chapter 16 
  "The giant squid swims through deep, dark seas surrounded by things we’ll never see, and can’t imagine. 
  In this light, the fact that anyone would state that we’ve already discovered every large creature in the wild is a foolish claim. Just because something is unknown isn’t proof that it’s unreal. If someone tells you a certain cryptid doesn’t exist, there’s no reason to accept that as the final word. There can be no final word. Reality is still being discovered and understood, and there’s an infinite supply of the unknown to transform into the knowable."

The book draws on the spirit of the legendary Feynman Lectures on Physics, offering accessible and engaging explanations of complex physical concepts. From the basic principles of motion to the way light and sound interact with our world, the text explores how fundamental physics shapes the way we experience reality. It delves into the physics of everyday things, helping readers understand the mechanics behind familiar objects and activities, such as how refrigerators work or why the sky is blue. 
  The book also provides in-depth insight into the physics of light and color, explaining the fascinating behavior of electromagnetic waves and the science behind vision, color perception, and optical phenomena. Additionally, it explores the physics of sound, from the science of musical instruments to the way sound waves travel through air. This comprehensive approach to applied physics highlights the relevance of physics in our day-to-day existence and illustrates how even the most basic physical principles underpin the technology and experiences we often take for granted.
