Summary

Ocean Current Systems explores the critical role of ocean circulation in shaping our planet's climate and distributing vital resources. It examines how thermohaline circulation, driven by temperature and salinity differences, acts as a global conveyor belt, influencing regional climates. Wind-driven currents also play a crucial role in surface circulation, impacting nutrient distribution and marine ecosystems. Understanding these dynamics is essential due to the significant influence of ocean currents on global climate patterns.

 
This book traces the evolution of ocean current research, highlighting the importance of a comprehensive understanding for predicting future climate scenarios and addressing challenges like sea-level rise. Specific chapters delve into major systems such as the Gulf Stream and Pacific Ocean gyres. By synthesizing published research and integrating insights from climate models, the book offers a holistic view of ocean current behavior and their potential to trigger abrupt climate shifts, making it a valuable resource for students, researchers, and policymakers.

Crazy Joy - Finding Wild...

Mary Katherine Backstrom

A bestselling author helps readers find radical joy in a world full of constant comparison by accepting that life is a wild ride and happiness fluctuates with our circumstances. Happiness is considered a destination, but the finish line is constantly moving—when we get married, find that dream job, move away from home, have a baby, build a dream house, etc. We are promised that a happy life is tied to these milestones.  But what if society has it wrong? What if happiness isn't the goal at all?  With her trademark candor and hilarious storytelling, MK paints a picture of a different life—one bursting with a force that is far more sustainable and vibrant: joy. Crazy Joy will help readers:  1.    Identify and reject ridiculous expectations that society has placed on their lives.  2.    Liberate their hearts from the comparison prison and feel content in their current circumstances.  3.    View themselves, inside and out, as the masterpiece creations they are.  4.    Find joy (and dare we say, laughter!) in the middle of life's biggest messes.  Witty and refreshingly honest, MK invites her readers to embark on a counter-cultural journey toward a life filled to the brim with contentment, humor, and most importantly, Crazy Joy.

The Travel Bog Diaries - One...

Liz Deacle

Meet Liz. Mother of two teenage kids and wife of Brian.
Faced with midlife & realising that unless she gets her skates on, she'll never get to live out her fantasy of travelling the world with her family (and be like that woman from Eat, Pray Love), Liz plans a year-long globetrotting trip.
Annoyingly, things don't quite go as expected.
This is probably because Liz is slightly deluded & chooses to ignore the fact that her husband has acid reflux & can't eat anything foreign, & her teenage children would rather scroll funny Snapchat videos than look at old things in Europe.
From an ill-fated yoga class in India, ancient ruin humiliation in Italy, to getting sloshed at a charity festival in rural England, Liz’s endless mishaps and hysterical far-flung flops make for an unforgettable experience that no family could ever forget.
Even if they wanted to.
Armed with humour, optimism, this feel-good hilarious pee-your-pants, laugh-out-loud memoir will have you changing your life and racing to book your next adventure.
Prepare to laugh, cry & curl your toes.
Clench those buttocks, fellow traveller. We're off on a (real) family vacation...!
