Sinopsis

Heavy weather is a lurking spectre that most of us hope and plan to avoid, but not even internet forecasting can make it go away. Anyone intent on crossing oceans must be ready to deal with it if it comes, as well it may. Even well-informed inshore and continental-shelf sailors will inevitably be caught out sooner or later. The object of this slim, quickly absorbed volume is to give everyone, whatever their passage-making aspirations, a sound brief so that whether they find themselves at the wrong end of a force-six blow along the coast, or confronting serious waves far out at sea, they are fully aware of their options for taking it in their stride.Heavy weather is a lurking spectre that most of us hope and plan to avoid, but not even internet forecasting can make it go away.

    Skip the iPhone, the iPod, and the Macintosh. If you want to understand how Apple Inc. became an industry behemoth, look no further than the 1977 Apple II. Designed by the engineer Steve Wozniak and hustled into the marketplace by his Apple cofounder Steve Jobs, the Apple II became one of the most prominent personal computers of this dawning industry. 
     
     
      
    The Apple II was a versatile piece of hardware, but its most compelling story isn't found in the feat of its engineering, the personalities of Apple's founders, or the way it set the stage for the company's multibillion-dollar future. Instead, historian Laine Nooney shows, what made the Apple II iconic was its software. In software, we discover the material reasons people bought computers. The story of personal computing in the United States is not about the evolution of hackers—it's about the rise of everyday users. 
     
     
      
    Recounting a constellation of software creation stories, Nooney offers a new understanding of how the hobbyists' microcomputers of the 1970s became the personal computer we know today. The Apple II Age offers an unprecedented look at the people, the industry, and the money that built the microcomputing milieu—and why so much of it converged around the pioneering Apple II.

    The TR-3B, or Black Manta, or Astra is one of the most fascinating potentially top secret aircraft ever created by the United States military. 
    The big reason for this is that this craft is supposed to use anti-gravity technology. This technology is discussed a lot in this book. 
    Also, what other evidence is there for the existence of this craft? There are lots of unknowns here but there are also enough pictures of this aircraft that you can’t just discount sightings as being something else which the observers misinterpreted. 
    There are even anti-gravity patents by US government researchers which might be applicable to the reality of the TR-3B. 
    Overall, the existence of this craft is a huge mystery which still needs exploration and solutions to what it really is. 
    This is what I’m trying to do in this book.

    If you're like many adults today, you've experienced some kind of loss of a loved one. Whether it was a parent, spouse, sibling, friend, or child, losing someone close hurts. 
    People who develop attachment disorders have trouble regulating emotions and forming healthy relationships. They think negatively about themselves and find it hard to trust others. They often withdraw from social situations because they fear rejection. Some develop fears of intimacy and relationships. Others struggle with anger management issues. Still, others have difficulties controlling impulses and acting responsibly. 
    But, an attachment disorder doesn't mean you'll never recover. Many people overcome these challenges through therapy and support groups. 
    The book describes how attachment disorders affect adults, what they look like, and how to recognize them. It discusses the different types of attachment disorders, such as secure, avoidant, ambivalent/resistant, disorganized, and unresolved, and describes how they are diagnosed and treated. The authors discuss common comorbidities associated with ADs, including anxiety disorder, mood disorder, substance use disorder, eating disorders, personality disorders, and trauma exposure. 
    The Vanessa Alvarez explains why people develop these disorders, and he provides advice on how to help someone who suffers from one. She also includes suggestions for parents, teachers, and therapists.
