"Keep strong, sire. Life is strange. Perhaps your biggest opportunity will arrive at the moment you are most cast down." These words propel Prince Author upon a quest to regain the kingdom he lost. He is joined by Brother Louis who travels to Palestine to fulfill a vow, and by Judith Izchaki, a beautiful Jewess who seeks to find her missing father. Three unlikely companions are cast together on a quest-will they find their heart's desire, or will they be destroyed in a world torn by injustice, hatred and unholy war? Sirocco, Wind from the East, is a stunning saga that sweeps from the valleys of the Loire River in France to the high desert of northern Israel. Find a new understanding of God's grace, joy for your journey, and hope for your lost causes in this book. Virginia Ann Work is a veteran author with nine books to her credit.

Hermon, the idea for this story came to her. She spent seven years researching the historical, cultural, and geographical facts that make this book an authentic read of medieval lore.

Climatology - particularly the study of difficult and demanding weather conditions - is of major importance to pilots now that aeroplanes fly over previously unavailable routes such as the North Pole and take direct routes over very large oceans. Existing books on climatology address physical, biological or cultural environments and do not supply adequate information for the pilot. Nor do the present books on aviation meteorology provide sufficient detail on subjects such as arid climates, tropical storms and upper tropospheric winds and temperatures. This new book concentrates on aspects of climatology that are important for modern aviation, including temperature, precipitation, solar radiation, winds and regional climatic environments from around the world. Although the book has been written with the airline pilot in mind, it will also be an essential reference for Air Transport Pilot Licence training staff and for ATPL students. It will also be of interest to operational route planning staff and students of climatology.
