The Worst Fishing Dog Ever
A heartfelt look at the state of modern fly-fishing and the challenges fishers will face in the coming decades. Ron Dungan, like many fly-fishers, can be obsessive. Although decades of fishing trips have led him to encounter snakes, bears, and treacherous terrain, his main focus is always the fish—how to find them, how to outsmart them, and how to hook them. In twenty-seven essays, Dungan takes us on a journey down bad roads and backcountry streams. Each tells a tale about fishing but also about hunting dogs, death, public-land policy, the trap of materialism, and accelerating environmental damage. This last becomes a new obsession. Fly-fishing in the arid Southwest has always been precarious, but how has fly-fishing changed, and what further impacts will climate change and resource extraction have? With his dog curled at his feet, Dungan attempts to unravel the tangled line of these hard questions.
The Last of Its Kind
Shortlisted for the Royal Society Trivedi Science Book PrizeHow an iconic bird’s final days exposed the reality of human-caused extinctionThe great auk is one of the most tragic and documented examples of extinction. A flightless bird that bred primarily on the remote islands of the North Atlantic, the last of its kind were killed in Iceland in 1844. Gísli Pálsson draws on firsthand accounts from the Icelanders who hunted the last great auks to bring to life a bygone age of Victorian scientific exploration while offering vital insights into the extinction of species. Pálsson vividly recounts how British ornithologists John Wolley and Alfred Newton set out for Iceland to collect specimens only to discover that the great auks were already gone. At the time, the Victorian world viewed extinction as an impossibility or trivialized it as a natural phenomenon. Pálsson chronicles how Wolley and Newton documented the fate of the last birds through interviews with the men who killed them, and how the naturalists’ Icelandic journey opened their eyes to the disappearance of species as a subject of scientific concern—and as something that could be caused by humans. Blending a richly evocative narrative with rare, unpublished material as well as insights from ornithology, anthropology, and Pálsson’s own North Atlantic travels, The Last of Its Kind reveals how the saga of the great auk opens a window onto the human causes of mass extinction.
Inside Youth Sports
Discover what every athlete—and parent— needs to know about the youth sports industrial complex, from training and injuries to developing bodies and navigating league politics, through the eyes of a father-daughter team that has been in your shoes. Over the last two decades, the youth sports market has quietly risen from a cottage industry to one with a valuation of nearly $40 billion. While the industry thrives on the aspirations of children – and their parents – towards college scholarships, it is well-known that reaching that level is rare. Organized sports benefit individuals and society in a myriad of ways, yet youth athletes and their parents often struggle with the financial, physical, and personal costs provided by well-meaning yet misguided influencers in the space. Inside Youth Sports is an in-depth dive into youth sports, the playing experience, and the science behind the muscles, mechanics, and minds of developing kids. Featuring alternating narratives between Buel D. Rodgers – an international leader in the field of muscle biology – and his daughter, Meilani – an elite youth athlete who competed at the national level in soccer and track – this instructive and insightful guide explores the physiology and psychology of child and adolescent athletes, how youth athletes manage the emotional burden and individual challenges of competition as well as the people, places and market surrounding play. Complex biological processes like puberty, the biology of gender, muscle and exercise physiology as well as rehabilitation myths and mythologies are carefully and tactfully detailed for a broad lay audience. Detailed interviews with legendary coaches Anson Dorrance and Geno Auriemma, the winningest soccer and basketball coaches in NCAA history, offer further strategies for parents and players alike. For every parent, coach and athlete looking for a more scientific understanding of growing bodies, injuries, the far-reaching benefits of sport and its impact on our psyches, coaching philosophies, and how to navigate the often-complicated interpersonal world of youth sports, Inside Youth Sports is an invaluable guide.
Fungi and Human Life
The incredible, hidden role of fungi in our livesFrom beneficial yeasts that aid digestion to toxic molds that cause disease, we are constantly navigating a world filled with fungi. Fungi and Human Life explores the amazing ways fungi interact with our bodies, showing how our health and well-being depend on an immense ecosystem of yeasts and molds inside and all around us. Nicholas Money takes readers on a guided tour of a marvelous unseen realm, describing how our immune systems are engaged in continuous conversation with the teeming mycobiome inside the body, and how we can fall prey to serious and even life-threatening infections when this peaceful coexistence is disturbed. He also sheds light on our complicated relationship with fungi outside the body, from wild mushrooms and cultivated molds that have been staples of the human diet for millennia to the controversial experimentation with magic mushrooms in the treatment of depression. Drawing on the latest advances in mycology, Fungi and Human Life reveals what scientists are learning about the importance of fungi to our lives, from their vital role in supporting the ecosystems on which we depend to their emerging uses in lifesaving medicine.

The Layered Home
'I often think about the Albert Hadley pointer that "a room should feel collected, not decorated", writes Benjamin Raynaert in his new book, before taking us on a tour of British, European and American homes that embody this idea.... Benjamin has insightful conversations with the creative individuals behind these spaces - who also offer tips on how to master the seemingly effortless layered look.' House & Garden'If you choose one playbook rule, let this be your guide: Layers plus personalization is the combination that creates absolute spatial magic. Nothing else comes close.' Benjamin RaynaertTo magazine editor and stylist Benjamin Reynaert, more is more when it comes to the home. The more patterns and colours combined, the more preloved pieces scooped up at the right time, the more surfaces to display treasured objects, the more a house will feel like home. Layers are key to achieving this maximalist alchemy. It's not a look that can be bought all at once, but one developed over time, leisurely and with intention, as you stay mindful of your space's personality. Most of all, layering a home requires listening to and respecting your own instincts and taste. To help train your eye, Benjamin takes you on a journey through exquisitely decorated homes lived in by creative and curious people. From the UK and France to the USA, these homes artfully integrate patterns, colours, textures, art, furniture, and objects to create interiors that are as unique as the people who live in them. More than 200 photographs capture home tours of stunning maximalist homes, and Benjamin's interviews with his favourite tastemakers reveal tips and tricks on collecting, arranging objects, and modifying rooms over time. Brimming with beauty and smart advice, The Layered Home shares how to curate interiors filled with warmth and endless visual interest by embracing abundance, imperfection, and craft. The end result: a gorgeous home that tells your unique story.
A Mood, A Thought, A Feeling
The first book from designer Huh is designed in three parts. Part one is an exploration of the seven moods that Huh deems essential to design: conviviality, peacefulness, joyful, cozy, verve, romantic, meaning. For example, convivial spaces are ones that feel buzzy, excited, and alive, like an artist s salon. Use lighting to draw people together and seating arrangements to connect. Peaceful interiors are refuges to be by yourself, with yourself, reading with a cup of tea on a rainy day, in a chair with a view of a forest, surrounded by warm, natural textures and quiet colors. Joyful rooms are effervescent and whimsical, with bright happy colors and wallpaper that makes you smile. Coziness is about creating safety and warmth, spaces that hold you tight and together, that encourage intimacy and depth and demarcate a transition from public to private. Rooms with verve are stylist and confident. They should feature daring, exciting choices to make people talk with a bold curation of objects and odd juxtapositions. Romantic is moody, nostalgic, filled with faded chintz, pretty vignettes, weathered and worn. Meaning is about incorporating the personal, the familial. Objects that carry stories are important here the heirlooms that tell us where we came from and who we are. Lovely curated bookcases and ephemera. Part two, A Thought, explores three full projects: two recently completed townhouses on the Upper West Side of Manhattan and in Brooklyn, as well as an elegant Park Avenue apartment. And part three of the book, A Feeling, features an immersive dive into Huh s recently completed country house upstate, from the pattern-filled rooms to the gardens and grounds, with seasonal entertaining stories.

Chasing Lewis's Monkeyflower
Elizabeth Adelman's Chasing Lewis's Monkeyflower is the two-hundred-year saga of finding, losing, and finding again the wild plants collected on America’s first exploration west, the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Thomas Jefferson handpicked Meriwether Lewis to lead the expedition, gather notable specimens along the way, and then write the journals, with one volume to include science-worthy descriptions and classifications of the plants that Lewis collected and pressed to preserve. Not a botanist, Lewis needed help to write this part of the journals. Ambition, deceit, theft, wealth, debt, alcoholism, loss, suicide, serendipity, and stubborn persistence cross the plants’ paths in Philadelphia, New York, and London. Chasing Lewis's Monkeyflower is the first work detailing the places, practices, and lives of a cavalcade of people who came into contact with the plants. It is a fascinating chronicle of an unexplored byway of the great American story.

Buckinghamshire & East Berkshire
Of all the counties surrounding London, Buckinghamshire and Berkshire are most closely associated with the title 'home counties' and both contain large stretches of what is thought of as quintessential English countryside. The Chilterns dominate the south, a plateau-like maze of chalk hills covered with beechwoods, villages and fields rising from the Thames Valley to a steep northern escarpment, and at its foot the fertile farmland of the Vale of Aylesbury stretches northwards towards the River Great Ouse and the start of the Midlands beyond. Across the Thames lies the more densely populated East Berkshire, which nevertheless still boasts some wonderful countryside, including the landscaped parkland of Windsor Castle.

Daughter of Mother-of-Pearl
Daughter of Mother-of-Pearl collects Mandy-Suzanne Wong’s reminiscences, dreams, investigations, and experiments in being with small invertebrates whose vulnerability and creativity inspire radical reimaginings of Earthlinghood. In graceful linked essays, Wong wonders: What constitutes a self if a starfish can twist off one of his arms to explore the seafloor on its own? What is an animate being, considering a living snail is also an inanimate shell? What does love mean to a jellyfish, or time to an octopus? Her encounters with nonhuman animals reshape her language into different forms from collage to fragments, and prompt uncommon engagements with various texts. She looks behind words like “invasive” and “endling” in scientific articles and in poetry, questions natural selection with a bubble-rafting snail, sees the bivalve in Dostoevsky, and studies a speculative treatise about a “vampire squid from hell.”Personal yet de-personal, at once tender and challenging, Wong’s essays invite humans to rethink our relationship to other beings. Instead of capturing and destroying them, using them as resources or reflections of ourselves, she asks us only to coexist with them—to cherish them although, and because, we cannot fully know them.
The Scottish Region in the 1970s and 1980s Revisited

Locomotives featured include classes 06, 08, 24, 26, 27, 37, 40, 47 and electric locomotives, as well as multiple units from the branch and commuter lines. Trains are pictured in spectacular scenery, sites of industrial decay and urban cityscapes.Andy Gibbs offers the rail enthusiast a vibrant selection of previously unpublished photographs documenting the Scottish rail scene in the 1970s and 1980s.
Scenic North Wales Bus Journeys
The scenery of North Wales is well known for its breathtaking views and historic landmarks, with towns and villages having their own unique history and modern-day function. But one thing that links them all, quite literally in many instances, is the bus, the ever-vital lifeline for communities enabling people to travel to the shops or to medical appointments, to school or college, or to work. The bus can provide journeys that rail cannot, and does so here with a backdrop of castles, lakes, forests, market towns and the stunning coastline.Travelling from east to west, Simon Ackers visits Wrexham, Flintshire, Denbighshire, Conwy and Gwynedd, with scenic sights framing the variety of bus types and operators as they go about their daily work, with each picture providing an insight into the location and the vehicle.
London's Titans
The Titan was an integral double-decker bus built by Leyland Motors, becoming the standard double-decker produced by the company in the 1980s. The type was not as popular as its main competitor, the MCW Metrobus. As with this latter model, London Transport was Leyland’s best customer for the Titan. Leyland built one of the prototype Titans to London specification and it was used on trials from Chalk Farm garage in May 1976. The first six entered service with London Transport from Hornchurch garage in December 1978. The first 250 were built at the former AEC facility in Southall. Production then moved north to Leyland’s own factory in Workington. The last members of the fleet were delivered to London Transport in 1984, with 1,125 being built new for London. These were joined by five additional Titans from West Midlands PTE in 1984, as well as a former demonstrator, bringing the total to 1,131. At the time of privatisation, Titans passed to six of the new London operators. A number of Titans passed to London Pride and the Big Bus Company for further use as tour buses. David Beddall documents the Titan’s service in London, both in normal passenger service and as a tour bus, through a diverse selection of high-quality images.
Railway Wonders
A spectacular collection of Britain's most noteworthy disused railway structures, from historic bridges to moody tunnels and sky-scraping viaducts.
