Weird, but maybe not...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lightning, hail, floods, drought, tornadoes, blizzards, and ice storms: Canada's climate can be extreme. Many Canadians concern themselves with the weather out of interest, necessity, and concern. Given the inevitable changes in our global climate, there is great interest in how our weather isbeing affected. Before the influence of climate change can be understood; however, a concise, comprehensive and accurate understanding of the historical and contemporary weather extremes in Canada is needed. Enter Severe and Hazardous Weather in Canada: The Geography of Extreme Events, a text thatprovides students of physical geography, climatology, meteorology, and natural hazards with the what, where, when, and why of Canadian weather. Taking a non-scientific approach, the text describes weather phenomena and their spatial distribution in Canada, and gives an explanation for spatialtrends. The result is an engaging, one-of-a-kind look at the past and present of severe weather in Canada.

Download or read book Weird written by Olga Khazan and published by Hachette Go. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn why the concept of "weird" is being reclaimed and turned into a badge of honor, used to show how being different—culturally, socially, physically, or mentally—can be a person's greatest strength. Most of us have at some point in our lives felt like an outsider, sometimes considering ourselves "too weird" to fit in. Growing up as a Russian immigrant in West Texas, Olga Khazan always felt there was something different about her. This feeling has permeated her life, and as she embarked on a science writing career, she realized there were psychological connections between this feeling of being an outsider and both her struggles and successes later in life. She decided to reach out to other people who were unique in their environments to see if they had experienced similar feelings of alienation, and if so, to learn how they overcame them. Weird is based on in-person interviews with many of these individuals, such as a woman who is professionally surrounded by men, a liberal in a conservative area, and a Muslim in a predominantly Christian town. In addition, it provides actionable insights based on interviews with dozens of experts and a review of hundreds of scientific studies. Weird explores why it is that we crave conformity, how that affects people who are different, and what they can do about it. First, the book dives into the history of social norms and why some people hew to them more strictly than others. Next, Khazan explores the causes behind-and the consequences of-social rejection. She then reveals the hidden upsides to being "weird," as well as the strategies that people who are different might use in order to achieve success in a society that values normalcy. Finally, the book follows the trajectories of unique individuals who either decided to be among others just like them; to stay weird; or to dwell somewhere in between. Combining Khazan's own story with those of others and with fascinating takeaways from cutting-edge psychology research, Weird reveals how successful individuals learned to embrace their weirdness, using it to their advantage.

For the first time, he shares his never-before-told stories covering the country’s most astounding weather events. From the flooding of the Red River in Winnipeg to the ice storm in Montreal, the hurricanes in Newfoundland, the devastating wildfires in Fort McMurray, the hailstorm in Calgary, and the heat dome and horrifying floods in British Columbia, St. Clair recalls these extreme weather events and relays their impact on communities across the country. He also follows Canadian snowbirds south to Florida and recounts their dramatic escape from record-breaking Hurricanes Matthew and Irma. A vivid personal narrative with accessible scientific explanations and meteorological analysis, Weather Permitting tells the story of how the weather has shaped the character and psyche of our nation, and is an homage to the strength and resilience of Canadian communities from coast to coast.
