Book excerpt: Woody Washborns dream is to be artist. Only he doesnt have what it takes. Or does he? By fateful circumstance Woody is suddenly freed from the obligations of the family farm he has come to loathe. Desperate to learn the secret of artistic expression, he ventures off in search of his hero, Ford Sinclair, a modern day Renaissance man not seen or heard from in twenty years. A seemingly farfetched odyssey, it takes the unlikely detective from the sleepy pastures of Bird in Hand, Pennsylvania to jazzy Harlem, ritzy Palm Beach, crazy Key West, a Navajo Indian reservation in New Mexico, and starlit Hollywood; and then on to a remote island in the South Pacific. Where at last Woodrow Wilson Washborn IV uncovers the bittersweet truth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative study re-examines the dynamics of race relations in the post–Civil War South from an altogether fresh perspective: field sports. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, wealthy white men from Southern cities and the industrial North traveled to the hunting and fishing lodges of the old Confederacy—escaping from the office to socialize among like-minded peers. These sportsmen depended on local black guides who knew the land and fishing holes and could ensure a successful outing. For whites, the ability to hunt and fish freely and employ black laborers became a conspicuous display of their wealth and social standing. But hunting and fishing had been a way of life for all Southerners—blacks included—since colonial times. After the war, African Americans used their mastery of these sports to enter into market activities normally denied people of color, thereby becoming more economically independent from their white employers. Whites came to view black participation in hunting and fishing as a serious threat to the South’s labor system. Scott E. Giltner shows how African-American freedom developed in this racially tense environment—how blacks' sense of competence and authority flourished in a Jim Crow setting. Giltner’s thorough research using slave narratives, sportsmen’s recollections, records of fish and game clubs, and sporting periodicals offers a unique perspective on the African-American struggle for independence from the end of the Civil War to the 1920s.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humans have a rapacious relationship with the world’s ocean, extracting immeasurable quantities of its inhabitants and resources, while simultaneously depositing unbound sums of pollution into it. If we are to move toward sustainable practices, then we must first move toward ways of thinking about fish and fisheries beyond mere economic agendas. And there is one group in particular who could make an impact: saltwater anglers. Recreational saltwater fishing is big business and big culture. The industry is one of the largest in the United States, but that has not translated into a cohesive effort, agenda, or ethic. Saltwater anglers, a diverse group with a range of motivations, do not belong to a single organization through which to galvanize significant voting or lobbying power toward conservation regulation. As a result, federal policymakers have traditionally focused on commercial harvesting interests. Dubbed the “most contemplative of pastimes,” recreational fishing provides a valuable perspective on how humans interact with saltwater environments. Fishing, Gone? builds on this tradition of reflection and opens up the saltwater sportfishing life as a method for thinking through the current status of marine fisheries and environment. Author Sid Dobrin calls on fellow saltwater anglers to reconsider their relationship to fishes and the ocean—the sport can no longer be only about the joy and freedom of fishing, but it must also be about living for the ocean, living with the ocean, and living through the ocean. It is about securing the opportunity to fish on while meeting the economic and environmental challenges that lie ahead.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The only constant in fishing is that the fish are still trying to avoid being caught as hard today as they were 100 or 1,000 years ago. To improve as anglers, we must be willing to change and evolve.” It’s More Than Fishing is a how-to guide for Texas coastal fishing that addresses a number of key aspects of coastal angling, including the basics of patterning, fishing the Texas surf, choosing lures and baits, common myths and misconceptions, and what to keep in mind when hiring a fishing guide. In addition to these how-to elements, It’s More Than Fishing also includes insight and information from marine biologists, fishing legends, and guides about coastal angling and the importance of conservation. Author Pat Murray has spent more than two decades as a marine conservation professional and more than four decades as a Texas coastal angler, and he emphasizes the critical role of recreational anglers in protecting and enhancing marine resources. Each chapter begins with a handy summary to guide readers through the information, making it easy to jump around. Throughout the book, Murray reminds the reader that angling is part science, but it’s also part art. Similar to fine arts, culinary pursuits, and any other timeless crafts, angling is an evolving skill that has been in practice for centuries. Successful fishing requires a mixture of knowledge, practice, patience, and skill. Murray believes that if anglers view their pursuit as an art, they will not only invest in developing their skills, but their passion for fishing and ocean resources will increase along with their catches.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How and why do trout think? How do they decide where to eat and which food to eat? Why do they refuse to behave as predicted, stumping anglers by rejecting a larger fly for a smaller one or not responding at all to anything in an angler’s box? How do trout know to bolt to one particular covered area after being hooked or flushed? Why can trout smell better than humans but not remember as well? Citing the most recent scientific findings in a readily understandable form, Thomas C. Grubb, Jr. addresses these questions and more in The Mind of the Trout. It is the first book to bring together many varied concepts of cognitive ecology as applied to trout and their salmonid relatives: char, salmon, grayling, and whitefish.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of Colorado Book Award in Poetry Category Finalist for the Griffin International Poetry Prize Winner of Anne Halley Poetry Prize, given by Massachusetts Review, 2021 In How to Dress a Fish, poet Abigail Chabitnoy, of Aleut descent, addresses the lives disrupted by US Indian boarding school policy. She pays particular attention to the life story of her great grandfather, Michael, who was taken from the Baptist Orphanage, Wood Island, Alaska, and sent to Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Pennsylvania. Incorporating extracts from Michael's boarding school records and early Russian ethnologies—while engaging Alutiiq language, storytelling motifs, and traditional practices—the poems form an act of witness and reclamation. In uncovering her own family records, Chabitnoy works against the attempted erasure, finding that while legislation such as the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act reconnects her to community, through blood and paper, it could not restore the personal relationships that had already been severed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Turn with the Muse (From Yahweh to Yeshua) is a cleverly, crafted collection of rhyming poems which deals with very famous and also some less well-known but equally interesting stories in the bible. After writing prose and verse for a few decades, the author has certainly reached the level of the old masters. The book makes an interesting read whether one reads it intensely or makes a casual foray into it. For the effective outcome, Dr Martin Haynes was able to draw on his wide classical and medical background. Dr Martin Dec Haynes was born in Barbados. He attended Harrison College and emerged as an Island Scholar in Classical Studies. He went on to study Medicine at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. He stayed-on to do postgraduate studies and obtain the specialist degree in Surgery. He returned and worked in Trinidad for many years, during which time he felt impelled to write poetry and short stories. He has a publishable manuscript of Puns, a large volume of poems called The Moving Finger which may be out before this one, A Turn With The Muse. There is another big collection of Poems to follow, the working title of which is The Albatross and Other Poems. He tries to play a little golf most days, and spends his time either in Trinidad, Barbados or Florida.

Book excerpt: "Before prehistoric humans began to cultivate grain, they had three main methods of acquiring food: hunting, gathering, and fishing. Hunting and gathering are no longer economically important, having been replaced by their domesticated equivalents, ranching and farming. But fishing, humanity's last major source of food from the wild, has grown into a worldwide industry on which we have never been more dependent. In this history of fishing--not as sport but as sustenance--archaeologist and writer Brian Fagan argues that fishing rivaled agriculture in its importance to civilization. [He] tours archaeological sites worldwide to show ... how fishing fed the development of cities, empires, and ultimately the modern world"--Jacket flaps.

Book excerpt: Sometimes the wildest fishing happens right in your own town-or in the city you happen to be visiting Some of fly-fishing's most gifted writers proclaim the joys and rewards of fishing urban waters Shelves of books have been written about the ultimate fly-fishing experience: the trip to remote, pristine waters where fish are plentiful and wild. But sometimes there's good fishing to be found right down the street, in the most unlikely of settings. These writers share stories about the fish they've found in the midst of Manhattan, London, Tokyo, and Paris. Fishing a manmade lake in the suburbs of Minnesota, a park pond in New Jersey, in suspect rivers within sight of factories in Buffalo and Oakland, they steal an hour or two and go off to fish where they can, when they can, because they can't not fish. This unorthodox collection reveals what true fishermen understand: good fishing is to be had anywhere you can find it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Life, Fish and Mangroves, Melissa Marschke explores the potential of resource governance, offering a case study of resource-dependent village life. Following six households and one village-based institution in coastal Cambodia over a twelve-year period, Marschke reveals the opportunities and constraints facing villagers and illustrates why local resource management practices remain delicate, even with a sustained effort. She highlights how government and business interests in community-based management and resource exploitation combine to produce a complex, highly uncertain dynamic. With this instructive study, she demonstrates that in spite of a significant effort, spanning many years and engaging many players, resource governance remains fragile and coastal livelihoods in Cambodia remain precarious.
