Beschreibung

Fog Formation explores the science behind this common meteorological phenomenon, detailing its various types and significant impacts. Fog, often perceived as a simple weather condition, is revealed as a complex atmospheric event influenced by temperature, humidity, and condensation nuclei. The book examines how specific atmospheric conditions lead to the formation of different fog types, such as radiation fog, advection fog, and upslope fog. Intriguingly, fog's effects extend beyond mere visibility, profoundly impacting transportation, agriculture, and even local economies. 

 
The book progresses systematically, first establishing the foundational principles of atmospheric science and then delving into the specific conditions that give rise to different fog types. It highlights how understanding fog formation is crucial for weather forecasting, risk assessment, and the development of effective mitigation strategies. Case studies illustrate the real-world consequences of fog events, particularly on aviation, maritime operations, and road safety.

Val d'Aran - Las mejores...

César Barba

Si las montañas se alzan al sur y los ríos corren hacia el norte…, entonces esto es la Val d'Aran. Situado tras el cordón montañoso que forman algunos de los picos emblemáticos de los Pirineos, como los Besiberris, el Tuc de Mulleres o el circo de Colomèrs, la Val d'Aran dormita plácidamente en la cara norte de la cordillera. Es un territorio de fuerte personalidad, el único valle del Pirineo catalán que mira al Atlántico, mientras por el rabillo del ojo otea el Mediterráneo desde el túnel de Vielha. Sus bosques, cumbres y lagos, son el objetivo de las rutas de esta guía.
La mayoría de los núcleos de población del Aran se alojan a orillas del río Garona, que recorre el valle de este a oeste y forma la auténtica columna vertebral de este territorio. Pero en este valle también abundan las villas encaramadas a las alturas, ya que el 30% de superficie aranesa está situada por encima de los 2000 metros. De hecho, la Val d'Aran es de los primeros en vestirse de blanco cuando, en pleno otoño, las nevadas comienzan a perfilar las cumbres pirenaicas. Es buena época para salir de excursión, pues las nevadas tempranas coinciden con la explosión de color los bosques, un espectáculo que ilumina el valle con infinidad de tonalidades.

“Never has decisive action on climate and environment been more important. This book will help citizens understand that while no one can do everything, everyone can do something—and offers a myriad of ways they can get started too.” —Dr. Trista Patterson, Time100 Climate Leader, 2023, and co-founder of Playing for the Planet

Charlie Sellars pulls insight from his experience as a director of sustainability at Microsoft, which has underlined its commitment to be a green business with a pledge to become carbon negative, water positive, and zero waste by 2030 while protecting ecosystems. He also serves on the governing body of the iMasons Climate Accord, an industry coalition united to decarbonize digital infrastructure.

Inside this sustainable living book, you will learn how to:
- Harness environmental science to make more sustainable decisions using the “Make It, Move It, Lose It, Use It” impact framework.
- Turn your job into a sustainability job, no matter what you do for a living.
- Unleash the power of your voice at the ballot box and in your local community.

This refreshingly optimistic environmental book for adults and recent graduates makes for a great climate change gift, like Hannah Ritchie’s Not the End of the World and Katharine Hayhoe’s Saving Us.

American Idol - The Ultimate...

Trivia Hub

AMERICAN IDOL 
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
  
CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
  
American Idol is a reality singing competition created by Simon Fuller, based on the British show Pop Idol. The show aims to discover unsigned singing talent, with the winner decided by American viewers. Contestants go through a series of auditions, including initial auditions with producers, and auditions before the judges. The selected contestants then perform in Hollywood, facing eliminations until the semi-finals, when public voting determines the outcome. The show features themes for each week's performances, often with celebrity mentors. From the semi-finals onward, the fate of the contestants is decided by public vote via phone, text, and online. The show was broadcast on Fox from 2002-2016, then moved to ABC in 2018. 
  
CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
  
American Idol was based on the British show Pop Idol, which was in turn inspired by the New Zealand television singing competition Popstars. Television producer Nigel Lythgoe saw a version in Australia and helped bring it over to Britain.  
  
In 2001, Simon Fuller, Simon Cowell, and TV producer Simon Jones attempted to sell the Pop Idol format to the United States, but the idea was initially met with poor responses from all the television networks. However, Rupert Murdoch, head of Fox's parent company, was later persuaded to buy the series by his daughter, Elisabeth, who had seen the British show.  
  
One change was made to the American version because of the multiple time zones in the United States. An additional half-hour results show was added the day following the performance show because it was impractical for the country to vote in the same time period.
