Sinopse

"Hail and Ice" offers a deep dive into the world of hailstorms, unpacking their formation, characteristics, and significant impact on our planet. It highlights how understanding the science behind hail, a form of severe weather, is crucial for developing effective mitigation strategies, particularly as volatile weather patterns become more common. The book emphasizes the distinction between hail and other frozen precipitation, such as sleet and snow, clarifying the unique atmospheric processes that lead to the creation of these icy projectiles.

 
The text explores the devastating consequences of hailstorms, with a sharp focus on agriculture and infrastructure. It examines the economic losses associated with crop damage and the impact on buildings and power grids, using case studies and scientific data to quantify the problem.

 
Furthermore, "Hail and Ice" discusses the prediction and detection of hailstorms, detailing the tools and techniques used by meteorologists, such as radar technology and satellite imagery. The book progresses logically from atmospheric science basics to practical mitigation strategies, making complex concepts accessible to a broad audience interested in earth sciences, geography, and nature.

The Claus Are Out - What it’s...

Darren Scott Sommer

You’d think that being a Shopping Centre Santa at Christmas in Australia might be fun, but it’s actually full of tears, screaming, and tantrums… and the kids can be pretty wild, too. While working as a Stand-up Comedian, Darren Scott Sommer is suddenly thrust into the Big Red Suit at a major Adelaide shopping centre for an entire month. He used to think that handling hecklers was easy, but 6-year-olds can be really mean.
In this hilarious and eye-opening memoir, discover what really happens when you step into Santa’s boots. Follow Darren’s journey as he takes on the role at one of Adelaide’s biggest shopping centres in the outer suburb of Elizabeth. This is where he will spend the next four weeks remembering reindeer names, listening to requests for the latest toys, and being peed on by small children.
And before he can even settle into his new and unusual position, he finds himself being accused by centre management of promising an Xbox to an 8-year-old, getting asked by a little girl if Santa could bring her mum home from the hospital, and being told by a 12-year-old boy that he’s not the real Santa Claus… all while struggling to deal with the incredible heat that wearing wool, microfibre, and a polyester beard will produce in the middle of an Australian summer.
Equal parts comedy and confession, this book is for anyone who’s ever wondered what life is like behind the big white beard—and for those who know that sometimes the funniest stories come from the most unexpected places.
This is Santa, unwrapped.

South West Scotland

Tom Atkinson

The lovely land of hills, moors and beaches is bounded by the Atlantic and the Solway. Steeped in history and legend, still unspoiled, it is a land whose peace and grandeur are at least comparable to the Highlands, and yet it is hardly known. No area of Scotland better repays exploration than this.
From the Auld Kirk of Alloway where tales of Tam O'Shanter resound, to the legends of St Ninian at one of Scotland's earliest Christian sites, Whithorn, this region is lovingly described by a local author, who will explore with you the splendour of Culzean Castle and delights of Wanlockhead, Scotland's highest village.

A Quiet Evening - The Travels of...

Norman Lewis

Collected here, from a period of nearly five decades, are thirty-six of Norman Lewis's best articles. In each, his writing crackles with poker-faced wit and stylistic brilliance. As a witness to his times – the good, the bad and the absurd – he was unmatched, and his instinct for important events, and moments, was infallible. His range here includes Ibizan fishermen, an interview with Castro's executioner, the genocide of the South American indigenous tribes, a paean to Seville and his meeting with a tragic Ernest Hemingway. Lewis told Ian Fleming, who had commissioned him, that the meeting was 'a shattering experience of the kind likely to sabotage ambition'. Fortunately it didn't, and the articles assembled between these covers are compulsive, hilarious, tender and beautifully written, at times deeply upsetting and always unforgettable.
