Sinossi

Cloud Classification reveals the intricate language of clouds, explaining how these atmospheric formations are systematically categorized by altitude, shape, and associated weather patterns. Understanding cloud classification is crucial for meteorology, climate science, and connecting with nature. The book traces the evolution from subjective observation to the standardized system of the World Meteorological Organization's International Cloud Atlas, highlighting Luke Howard’s pivotal 19th-century work that brought scientific rigor to cloud identification. Did you know that cloud formations can indicate upcoming weather events, acting as visible signals in the sky?

 
The book progresses from basic principles of cloud formation to detailed explorations of ten principal cloud genera, such as Cirrus, Cumulus, and Stratus, examining their species and varieties. It also delves into formation mechanisms like convection and frontal systems. Emphasizing practical applications, it incorporates visual aids, meteorological data, and case studies to illustrate the relationship between cloud types and weather patterns. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of weather forecasting and climate modeling, and the ability to interpret the sky's cues.

Why Is My Dog So Reactive Volume...

Jean Claude Bertoni, K-9iQ Dog...

“Before you can study an animal, you must first love it.” Konrad Lorenz.
Across the world we are killing too many dogs needlessly.
In Australia approximately 80% of all dogs that end up in shelters are there due to either Dog to Dog or Dog to Human Reactivity. Sadly, this is not a problem exclusive to Australia.
While this is a startling statistic, the sad truth is that the vast majority of dogs facing euthanasia in these shelters are highly salvageable and the solutions are often very simple to apply. Their death is not only unnecessary, but is a blight on how many owners and trainers not only poorly understand dogs, but often unintentionally train them to fail.
What is even harder to accept is that the solution to this epidemic of needless stress is available to everyone, and it starts from how we communicate and train our dogs in our homes, day to day. We have the ability to channel the drives and instincts of our dogs from potential problems into tools that can make these amazing animals thrive with a mind-set based on self-control and low stress, regardless of the environment our dogs are exposed to.
Best of all it can happen at home, every day.
We all have the ability to change how our dogs see triggers in life and in turn educate them into making better choices around how to respond to day-to-day situations in a positive and highly constructive way.
If this book can change the approach of just one person to achieve a better understanding of what causes reactivity in their dog, then that is one person more than before who has better vision and skills to help resolve this problem.
Thank you for taking the time to read this book and in doing so helping me at K-9iQ change the world one person and one dog at a time.

Geyser Basins of Yellowstone

N. Genean Dunn, Thomas D. Dunn

Yellowstone National Park contains over half the world�s active geysers, with more than 700 within its 3,472 square miles. The most famous geyser is Old Faithful, named in 1870 during the Washburn-Langford-Doane Expedition. In 1871, the US Geological and Geographical Survey, led by Dr. F.V. Hayden, reached the Upper Geyser Basin. In just over a day, the explorers witnessed eruptions of many geysers still seen today, including Giantess, Beehive, Grotto, Castle, and Old Faithful. Yellowstone became the first National Park in 1872. Since then, visitors have come in increasing numbers to witness the unique geysers, numerous wildlife, and spectacular scenery.

For a Dollar and a Dream - State...

Jonathan D. Cohen

Every week, one in eight Americans place a bet on the dream of a life-changing lottery jackpot. Americans spend more on lottery tickets annually than on video streaming services, concert tickets, books, and movie tickets combined. 
 
 
 
The story of lotteries in the United States may seem straightforward: tickets are bought predominately by poor people driven by the wishful belief that they will overcome infinitesimal odds and secure lives of luxury. The reality is more complicated. For a Dollar and a Dream shows how, in an era of stagnant upward mobility, millions of Americans turned to the lottery as their only chance at achieving the American Dream. Gamblers were not the only ones who bet on betting. As voters revolted against higher taxes in the late twentieth century, states saw legalized gambling 
as a panacea, a way of generating revenue without cutting public services or raising taxes. Alongside stories of lottery winners and losers, Jonathan Cohen shows how gamblers have used prayer to help them win a jackpot, how states tried to pay for schools with scratch-off tickets, and how lottery advertising has targeted lower income and nonwhite communities. 
 
 
 
For a Dollar and a Dream charts the untold history of the nation's lottery system, revealing how players and policymakers alike got hooked on hopes for a gambling windfall.
