Summary

Avalanche Science offers a comprehensive exploration into the world of avalanches, detailing their causes, prediction, and impact. The book highlights how avalanches are not random events but result from specific conditions, such as snow metamorphism and layering within the snowpack. Readers will discover how weather patterns, terrain, and human activities influence these events, emphasizing the importance of understanding mountain environments for risk mitigation.

 
The book progresses from fundamental meteorology and snowpack physics to advanced forecasting techniques. It explores how scientists use snowpack observation, stability tests, and numerical modeling to predict avalanche hazards. By integrating the latest research with practical applications, Avalanche Science provides valuable insights for students, researchers, and professionals in fields like snow science and mountain safety. It also appeals to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of these powerful and potentially dangerous phenomena.

    On April 24, 1990, the Space Shuttle Discovery lifted off from Kennedy Space Center on the Space Shuttle Program’s 35th mission, but this was no ordinary mission. In its payload bay, Discovery was carrying the Hubble Space Telescope, with the objective of putting the telescope into orbit. 	The Hubble telescope, working in space less than 400 miles above the Earth’s surface, produced photos of galaxies previously unseen as they existed only 500 million years before the “Big Bang.” It was fortuitous that Hubble outlived its anticipated lifespan by many years, because the launch of its successor, the James Webb Space Telescope, was delayed by 15 years.   
	Several new obstacles delayed the launch, but NASA believed that it was finally prepared to proceed in 2020 after completion of construction four years prior. Then came the COVID pandemic, and 2020 became the year of “delayed events,” with the launch of the most sophisticated space telescope in history proving to be no exception.  
	The increase in excitement was palpable. Scientists had viewed much of the universe through Hubble, almost as it was when it was formed, but they learned that none of these galaxies were the first ones formed. Then ultimately realized that “Hubble wasn’t the right instrument to detect those first galaxies.” “The farther we can see in space, the farther we can see in time…and that’s not a metaphor. That’s actually literally true,” explained scientist Amber Straughn. The Webb Space Telescope represents “looking in a part of space that we’ve never seen before.” The telescope will be able to detect the earliest galaxies because of its unparalleled sensitivity. Another factor is the kind of light it will collect, “light that our eyes aren’t designed to see.”

    I Never Walk the Halls Alone

    Donna, an experienced nurse, is a master storyteller. Nurses help so many people during tragedy and heartache. Walking down hospital halls can be a frightening heart-breaking experience. Yet, some degree of hope and comfort can be found through sharing life-changing true experiences from friends, patients, and family.  A Christian perspective is given as scripture is creatively threaded throughout the chapters.  Consider the gems of our private collection of personal stories that can only be enjoyed if shared. Grandma will simplify the understanding of salvation with apple pie, in "Salvation by the Slice." Meet Louie in the ICU, an underground miner who survived an accident and encountered God in the most amazing way. Enjoy the way God orchestrates life when He is "My Paul Harvey God." Perhaps in  your life the word coincidence will be transformed into God-incidence. Ponder the power available to all who pray as you examine "Quality Connections."Scripture often states God's "Expectations and Promises" are connected. The topics of honor, giving, forgiving, and love saturated with obedience are helpful reminders of what we do well and what we may consider improving. The rich messages of "The Whatever Principle" will be familiar to so many. The chapters, "God's Gear" and "Enemy Tactics" shine a new perspective on those who choose to threaten or tarnish a persons reputation. And the chapter, "Are you Looking for a Sign" shares one of my favorite memories of a family of strong faith in the face of a loved one's death. Come seeking and you're sure to find;A blessing for your heart and mind,Some comfort for your pain.Listen to these words and I will tellstories that can make you well.God's grace will fall like rain.Lay down your heartaches and your fears.Accept His love. Let Him draw near.Your life will never be the same!Donna
