Sinossi

Cicada Secrets explores the fascinating world of cicadas, focusing on their unique life cycles and ecological significance. The book delves into the biology, ecology, and natural history of these insects, particularly the periodical cicadas, whose mass emergences are a remarkable natural phenomenon.

 
One intriguing aspect is how these emergences impact forest ecosystems, influencing nutrient cycling and plant growth. The book highlights that the synchronized emergence strategy is a complex evolutionary adaptation, driven by factors like predator avoidance and resource availability.

 
The book systematically explores various aspects of cicada biology, starting with an introduction to different types of cicadas and their life cycles. It examines the ecological impact of cicada emergences on forest ecosystems, including their effects on nutrient cycling and predator-prey dynamics. The book also investigates the role of sound production in cicada mating rituals, dissecting the anatomy of their sound-producing organs and analyzing the ecological function of their songs.

 
Cicada Secrets considers the future of cicadas in relation to environmental change. The approach is accessible, making complex information understandable for a broad audience interested in science. This book draws on scientific evidence, field studies, lab experiments, and genomic analyses. It presents new insights into the evolutionary drivers of cicada periodicity, exploring the interplay between selection pressures and genetic constraints. The book progresses from introducing cicadas and their life cycles to examining their ecological impact and future prospects.

    Crash and Burn - A CEO's crazy...

    In the cut-throat world of low-cost airlines, competition is the name of the game. Not only up in the air but also on the ground.
    Crash and Burn is an insider's tale of the South African airline industry over the past thirty years and the dramatic collapse of Comair in 2022, as told by Glenn Orsmond, twice CEO of Comair and the founder CEO of 1time. Orsmond takes the reader on a wild ride through the ultra-competitive sector of low-cost airlines that boomed after South African Airways' stranglehold on the skies was loosened in the 1990s. Comair – which operated both Kulula and British Airways – and 1time were at the forefront of this new wave of airlines that saw domestic flying and tourism take off.
    But after some incredible highs and lows, Comair crashed under Orsmond's watch despite the company's 75-year unblemished profit history. The pandemic's impact, the grounding of aeroplanes after a questionable regulator investigation and poor management decisions all contributed to its downfall.
    Expect tales of industry legends and innovation, but also of competitors trying to gut each other, battles between pilots and accountants, unions and bosses at loggerheads, and warfare between shareholders and directors in boardrooms. You'll never think of flying in South Africa in the same way again.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    Welcome to a new installment of the most successful collection in America, welcome to the Aeronautical Library! In this new edition, we have decided to take a different path to how we write and transmit knowledge and experiences. This new volume is not a technical manual like the previous manuals. Still, it is an explanatory manual based on experiences lived by a group of airline professionals who today form elite crews in international airlines worldwide. They will detail their paths until they reach where they are, they will express their experiences by recommending to each reader the most agile way to achieve their professional goals. 
    	This book is focused on understanding the way to becoming part of an international flight crew, starting from the initial interview in a company, through the entire personnel selection process, the theoretical courses of the plane to fly, the specific simulator instruction, the real flight instruction, the semi-annual instruction, the annual and semi-annual checks, the day-to-day work with all the operational details and many more details to know.  
    Throughout these pages, each reader will know the experiences lived by our team of pilots, today temporarily writers, who have dedicated their free time to making a portrait of their experiences that we will call "Stories of Success" for this manual to become an indispensable guide for any pilot who wants to achieve the dream of flying an international airline. For such dedication, we thank Marcos (Pilot Boeing 787 Latam Airlines), Maximiliano (Pilot Airbus 380 Emirates), Fernando (Pilot Airbus 320 LatamAirline) and José (PilotA330 AviancaAirlines).

    Part field guide, part history, part ornithology primer, and altogether fun. 
     
     
     
    Fact: Pigeons are amazing, and until recently, humans adored them. We've kept them as pets, held pigeon beauty contests, raced them, used them to carry messages over battlefields, harvested their poop to fertilize our crops—and cooked them in gourmet dishes. Now, with A Pocket Guide to Pigeon Watching, listeners can rediscover the wonder. Equal parts field guide and quirky history, it covers behavior: Why they coo; how they flock; how they preen, kiss, and mate (monogamously); and how they raise their young (on chunky pigeon milk). Anatomy and identification, from Birmingham Roller to the American Giant Runt to the Scandaroon. Birder issues, like what to do if you find a baby pigeon stranded in the park. And our lively shared story together, including all the things we've taught them—Ping-Pong, for example. "Rats with wings?" Think again. 
     
     
     
    Pigeons coo, peck and nest all over the world, yet most of us treat them with indifference or disdain. So Rosemary Mosco, a bird-lover, science communicator, writer, and cartoonist, is here to give the pigeon's image a makeover, and to help every town- and city-dweller get closer to nature by discovering the joys of birding through pigeon-watching.
