The Trout and the Fly has been acknowledged as one of the most important books on fly fishing to appear in this century. It takes further than any book before it our understanding of the world of the trout and the way that the angler, his fly, his tackle and his behavior appear to the fish under water. The book is the result of years of work by two of Britain's most respected and widely-read angling writers, supported by help from university scientists in several fields. The pictures contained in it have been selected from thousands of the authors' own photographs taken from above and below the surface. The test has been informed by high-speed film viewed frame by frame to reveal the detail of events that happen too quickly for the human eye to register. Within this remarkable book are clear understandings for both the river and stillwater angler of: the way a trout sees (and the implications for the flyfisher of its excellent color vision); the way natural and artificial flies appear to the trout (one result of which is a series of fly patterns designed to mimic the way natural flies look from below the surface); the way that lines and leaders of different colors look from underwater - and the implications for tackle choice; the clues which fish give to their feeding behavior and how the angler can interpret them. All this information, and much more, is available in this attractive volume, which includes a new introduction and a postscript added a year after first publication, reporting observations not available in the original text.

Guys and Garages blows the doors wide open, taking readers into 50 unbelievable garages nationwide. Packed with engaging black-and-white photos, this gift book celebrates the personalities and passions of everyday men in their “sanctuaries,” where they tinker, invent, collect, fix a car, or simply escape, get dirty, and swap tall tales. No room in the house feeds a guy’s fantasy more than his garage, and not just for the cars that might (or might not) be housed there. Some garages are workshops where dreams are launched (such as Apple Computer), some are filled with unusual collections (such as the one in Texas filled with more than 800 decorated toilet seats), or World War II equipment, or original musical instruments made from scrap metal—and some even house an actual car or two.

Barack Obama’s shocking plan to take over the government, the elections, the economy, the American consciousness, and even our personal freedoms
From noted conservative leader Ken Blackwell and Washington, D.C.-based constitutional attorney and journalist Ken Klukowski comes an urgently needed book about President Barack Obama’s blueprint to centralize power in the White House, subvert the Constitution, and transform the United States of America into a militant, secular welfare state dominated by an overbearing central government.
The authors identify and discuss more than twenty tactics being taken by the Obama administration to restructure the country and ensure perpetual liberal rulesuch as changing voting laws, politicizing the census, coercing corporations into adopting its policies, planning to destroy talk radio, and seeking to make millions of illegal aliens into voting citizens. By means both sharp and subtle, President Obama aims to change Americans’ views about government, liberty, and even God.
*
· Czars: The authors show how Obama is installing a shadow government of radical appointees not subject to Senate confirmation and answerable to no one but him.
· Courts: The authors have insider knowledge of how Obama will pack the Supreme Court and lower courts with activist judges who will overstep their constitutional authority.
· When Lawmaking becomes Lawbreaking: The authors reveal the ways Obama is consolidating lawmaking power in the White House, in direct violation of our nation’s separation of powers.
· Changing the American Identity: The authors show how Obama is using unconstitutional tactics to change how we conduct commerce, how we vote, our right to bear arms, and the free-speech rights of opposition voices.

Part memoir, part history, The Fragrance of Grass stands as a testament to Guy de la Valdène’s deep love of, and abiding respect for, the natural world and all that inhabit it. Set in places as far afield as France and Montana, Saskatchewan and Florida, this is a beautifully written book that is also an elegant treatise on everything from dogs, birds, and wildlife to food, wine, and women.
