Great Northern Books Ltd The Magic of Fishing
Book SynopsisThe Magic of Fishing features twenty-two short chapters about family, friendship, love, death, ghosts and, of course, fishing. It is a charming celebration of a personal passion and one of the UK’s most popular pastimes, but it’s not a typical fishing book. John Moorwood began writing during a rare break from the office when, after spending more time on the bank than he’d managed for years, he was reminded of the joy of fishing and the ‘magical’ element that first captured his imagination. He realised just how much angling had enriched his life, and the lives of all those under its spell. Having lived in Surrey for nearly two decades, John was inspired to recount his close relationship with Joe Moorwood, his paternal granddad and a retired steelworker, who taught him about fishing whilst growing up in Sheffield. He takes a nostalgic, moving and humorous look back at an era before social media, smartphones or carbon fishing rods – relating how his hobby and life have evolved over four decades. Written in a simple, evocative and touching style, it’s primarily aimed at the masses of anglers who, like himself, won’t ever catch a record fish or appear on the cover of an angling magazine, but can still appreciate what it’s like to dream about ‘the one that got away’. Yet it should also appeal to nature lovers, the ‘fishing-curious’ and indeed all sentimental types who still believe in the existence of magic. The book features delightful pencil drawings by John’s father and a section of photography.

Skyhorse Publishing The Doryman's Reflection: A Fisherman's Life
Book SynopsisWhat happens when the oceans are emptied of all their fish? What happens when three hundred years of human knowledge and expertise disappear before the onslaught of the technology-driven world?The Doryman’s Reflection is simply the most accurate and eloquent account of what transpired in the New England fisheries over the past half century, as told by the people who lived it, including author Paul Molyneaux.Fishermen survive as relics, the last hunter-gatherers among us. Their boats, crammed with ropes and nets, carry the mystique of a nearly forgotten world ruled by the elements. Now an accomplished writer, Molyneaux as a young man journeyed to Maine with no experience and a dream of working on a boat. This is the story of his apprenticeship with Bernard Raynes, one of Maine’s last independent commercial fishermen.The Doryman’s Reflection speaks to those who want to know what really happened, and what will happen, on our oceans.Part coming-of-age memoir, part biography, it is a very personal account of what families in this dying but important industry face each day. Molyneaux shares his own history as a young man seeking the fisherman’s life in Maine and Alaska. Originally published in 2005, it has been thoroughly updated to cover the events of the past ten years.Told through the life of the colorful and engaging Bernard Raynes, The Doryman’s Reflection is alive and real and powerfulfar from a dry, pedantic treatise on the economics of commercial fishing.Trade Review"The seemingly inexhaustible resources of the New World triggered a fish rush that would continue into the twentieth century. The story of what happened during the last moments of that rush is brilliantly told by Paul Molyneaux in The Doryman's Reflection." - The New York Review of Books"The seemingly inexhaustible resources of the New World triggered a fish rush that would continue into the twentieth century.

Fayetteville Mafia Press The Common Angler: A Celebration of Fishing
Book SynopsisThe Common Angler taps into the passion that simmers in the souls of anglers and celebrates the primordial connection of people to fish and fishing. Author Jack Wollitz set out to explain the “why” behind the fact that so many people are passionate about fishing and along the way discovered a book’s worth of experiences and stories. Early chapters cover the foundation of Jack’s own passion for fishing and explore the connection we have with water and the creatures that depend on it for life. Also included is a whimsical piece that personifies two common waterside fixtures. A key chapter draws parallels between the legendary River Lea in Izaak Walton’s The Compleat Angler, written in the mid-seventeenth century, and Northeast Ohio’s Mahoning River and the mighty Ohio River. The Common Angler also provides an insider’s perspective about what makes certain people great anglers, featuring Ernest Hemingway, and baseball stars Ted Williams and Wade Boggs.Trade Review"With 33 years of outdoor writing to draw upon, Jack Wollitz uses his personal experiences and observations of other anglers to capture the essence of the sport and stir the passions of novice and veteran anglers alike. or The Common Angler is aimed at readers with an uncommonly strong passion for fishing. Like Izaak Walton's The Compleat Angler , which inspired the title, it is a celebration of the spirit of sportfishing and those who live for it." Dave Precht, Editor emeritus of Bassmaster Magazine"If you want a book that gives you a pure and down to earth take on why we fish, you should give this one a read. Jack Wollitz did an awesome job telling us exactly why through his personal journey." Joe Thomas, TV Host of Reel in the Outdoors"His passionate fishing stories intersect into one continuous celebration of fishing told by one uncommon angler." John Hayes, Pittsburgh Post Gazette

Museum Tusculanum Press Walruses and the Walrus Hunt in West and
Book SynopsisThis volume presents the results of an interview survey among Greenland subsistence hunters on walruses and the catch of walruses in West and Northwest Greenland. In these areas, the catch of walruses is still an important part of the traditional subsistence hunting culture. The Greenland walrus hunting grounds have experienced marked environmental changes due to climate change and quotas were introduced for the catch across all of Greenland in 2006. Thus, we wanted to explore how these changes had affected the local communities by interviewing seventy-six experienced walrus hunters living in twenty-two settlements and towns along the ca. 1,700 km coast from Maniitsoq in the south to Siorapaluk in the north. The interviews resulted in a wealth of detailed information about how climate changes and introduction of quotas have affected the walruses and the walrus hunting practice. The main text summarises the broad findings while more details are provided in the individual hunter statements in four appendices.
