Sinopsis

Longest Beaches explores the world's most extensive sandy coastlines, examining their geological origins, ecological importance, and the impact of human activities. It addresses the geological processes that create these coastal landscapes, the diverse ecosystems they support, and the challenges of balancing tourism with conservation. For instance, the book highlights how erosion and sedimentation, driven by ocean currents and tectonic activity, shape these beaches over millennia. It also uncovers how these seemingly barren landscapes are actually biodiversity hotspots, vital for migratory shorebirds and nesting sea turtles. The book emphasizes that these beaches are not merely scenic but essential ecological systems facing increasing threats.

 
It progresses by first detailing the locations and physical characteristics of the longest beaches, followed by an examination of their unique biodiversity. The final section analyzes human impact, including the economic benefits of tourism and the environmental consequences of development, concluding with strategies for sustainable management. This approach provides a deeper understanding of the ecological and economic importance of beaches, offering practical applications for coastal management and environmental responsibility.

Loving Life at 50+ - Embrace...

Maria Sabando

Turning 50 is often a line in the sand for women. On one side is youth, on the other is the decline into old age. But that doesn’t mean we have to look old or act old — in fact, it’s quite the opposite. In our 50s we get the best of both worlds – the spryness of youth and the wisdom of aging. It’s the perfect decade to live our best lives and Maria Sabando has cracked the code on doing just that. Through loads of fun, delicious, and healthy recipes sprinkled throughout, Maria motivates women to make food their friend, not their foe, and do it with pizazz as they entertain friends and family. Maria loves yoga, and she introduces readers to a new pose in every chapter – encouraging them to find their own “yoga” – the exercise that feels like fun rather than work, helping to maintain a healthy weight with ease. Along the way, she inspires readers to come to peace with their bodies. She helps women find a balance between enjoying food but not overindulging. Yet she’s no stranger to letting loose and having some fun, expressed in her quirky saying, “Indulge or you’ll bulge,” which means giving into temptation a little bit now so you can ward off the temptation to binge. Through clever quips and true wisdom, Maria encourages women to embrace and enhance what makes them beautiful and release the rest with good humor. She goes well beyond giving tips to adopt a healthy lifestyle, eat well, and maintain a healthy weight. To Maria, these habits simply set the stage for readers to live the exact life they want to live, right now — one where women feel fully alive. Yet, this is not just a self-help book. It’s also a memoir. Along the way, readers find a friend in Maria through personal stories that will make them laugh out loud at her mishaps and successes. It gives them a glimpse into what it was like growing up Italian in America, and being a bit of an Ita lian diva, today. Like listening to a familiar tune on the radio, women who grew up in the 60s and 70s will relate to her reminiscing and feel like they’re in a car loaded with friends, taking a ride through time with the top down. This book is for every woman who could use a big shot of inspiration, a little boost, or simply a chance to laugh out loud as they step into their 50s and beyond. By the time readers turn the final page, they will have hundreds of clever ideas on how to craft a life of love, happiness, and meaning.

The Advanced Gardener - Expert...

Gertrude Harris

Understanding soil is the foundation of expert gardening. Long before a seed is sown or a plant is placed, a gardener must come to know the very material in which all life begins—soil. It is far more than just “dirt.” Soil is a complex, living ecosystem composed of minerals, organic matter, air, water, and billions of microscopic organisms that work together to support plant health and productivity.
At its most basic, soil consists of three primary particle types: sand, silt, and clay. The proportion of these particles defines the soil’s texture, which in turn affects drainage, aeration, and nutrient availability. Loam—often considered the ideal garden soil—is a balanced mix of all three, offering optimal conditions for plant growth. However, very few gardeners are gifted with perfect loam, and understanding your soil's unique texture is the first step in learning how to work with it or improve it.
Beyond texture, soil structure plays a critical role. Good structure means that soil particles bind together into aggregates, which allow roots to penetrate easily, promote proper water retention and drainage, and create a hospitable environment for beneficial organisms. Soil compaction, on the other hand, restricts root growth and limits access to air and nutrients. Regular use of mulch, compost, and cover crops can significantly enhance structure over time.
Another key aspect of advanced soil science is understanding pH. Most garden plants prefer a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0), but some, like blueberries or azaleas, require more acidic conditions. Testing your soil’s pH—and knowing how to adjust it using lime or sulfur—can make the difference between thriving and struggling plants.

Airline Pilot The interview and...

Facundo Conforti

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).
