Sinossi

In 'The Collected Works of P. G. Wodehouse,' readers are invited into a quintessential realm of British humor, where wit, charm, and clever wordplay intertwine seamlessly. This expansive compilation showcases Wodehouse's unique literary style, characterized by his exquisite command of the English language and his penchant for humorous absurdities. The works reflect the social intricacies of early 20th-century Britain, encapsulating themes of class distinction, romance, and the folly of human nature, often set against the backdrop of the idyllic English countryside. P. G. Wodehouse, a prolific writer with a career spanning over seven decades, drew inspiration from his array of personal experiences, including his time spent in England and America. His background in journalism and theatrical writing refined his comedic prowess, enabling him to create beloved characters such as Bertie Wooster and his sagacious valet, Jeeves. Wodehouse's own life was marked by expatriation and a keen observation of societal quirks, which undoubtedly shaped the vibrant narratives found in his works. This collected anthology is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the roots of comedic literature and the art of satire. Wodehouse's enduring appeal lies in his ability to transport readers to a world brimming with humor and nostalgia, making this compilation a treasure for both new readers and devoted fans alike.

    Offering a fresh twist on Kris Kringle, a clever yet heartfelt audiobook that tells the story of a black Santa, his white husband, and their life in the North Pole. 
    Everyone knows that Santa Claus is jolly, but in Santa’s Husband, this cherished symbol of the holiday season is also black and gay, and married to an equally cheery man. 
    In this witty and sweet illustrated Christmas tale, humor writer Daniel Kibblesmith introduces us to Mr. and Mr. Claus, and gives us a glimpse of their lives together. We see the Clauses sitting by the fire at their cozy North Pole home, vacationing at the beach, having an occasional disagreement, celebrating their wedding day, and comforting each other when some loudmouth people on television angrily dispute Santa’s appearance and lifestyle. 
    In the weeks before Christmas, Santa’s husband helps with all the pre-Christmas work, from double-checking lists, to feeding the reindeer (organic gluten-free grains, of course), to negotiating labor disputes with the restive workshop elves. At the height of toy-making season, he even fills in for his busy hubby at the mall to ensure every child can meet the Big Guy in the red suit, and give him their wish list. 
    As this charming audiobook reminds us, Santa Claus can come in all shapes and colors and sizes—just like the children and families he visits all over the world each Christmas eve. 
    Santa’s Husband is a delightful gift for listeners of all ages.

    Decision-making in the cockpit has a direct relationship with the safety of operations. But not only does it affect pilots of all levels, but it also involves many more people involved in the process. 
    	Decision-making is a process, and as such, it requires a series of logical steps to achieve the goal. This process occurs unconsciously in our brain in a fraction of a second. As human beings, we constantly make decisions, we decide what to eat, what clothes to wear, with which hand we caress our hair, or simply on which side we turn our heads when we hear a sound and react to this stimulus. All these actions are preceded by an unconscious process of the brain where in a fraction of a second all the options were analyzed and the most appropriate one was chosen. 
    	In aviation, the pilot constantly makes operational decisions, from the first hour of flight to the last at the end of his career. In this work, we will analyze all the variables that could affect the decision-making process, seeking to learn the tools to minimize the error during this process. An indispensable book for every pilot, regardless of their level of experience.
