Airhart T: The Ultimate Guide to
Waterfowl Hunting

The Ultimate Guide to Waterfowl Hunting

Tips, Tactics, and Techniques for Ducks and Geese

SUNY Press Open Access

Essays outlining the emergence, evolution, and application of the Clean Water Act and its impact on the waters of New York's Lake Champlain Basin.Multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary in focus, The Clean Water Act and the Lake Champlain Basin features the work of scholars who think deeply about the connections between the 1972 U.S. Clean Water Act and the waters of the Lake Champlain Basin. Each contribution considers contemporary policy-relevant issues; in so doing, this collection examines and emphasizes the background, scope, and impacts of policy decisions. As such, the focus of this book is purposely broad, considering local, state, federal and binational perspectives. Full of fresh arguments and insights about a complex and relatively understudied relationship and expanding on previous academic treatments of the Clean Water Act, this volume also complements applied studies centered on Lake Champlain Basin water-management issues and activities.

The Clean Water Act and the Lake Champlain Basin

From the first hearths to today's wildfires, FIRE traces the element that helped make us human.In FIRE, writer, storyteller and outdoor educator Richard Skrein explores humanity's enduring fascination with fire- from its role in our earliest evolution to its place in myth, ritual, craft and the climate crisis. Combining history, science, memoir and practical firecraft, Skrein examines how fire has fed, protected, transformed and challenged us across millennia.Moving through folktales, landscapes and lived experience, FIRE travels from ancient hearths and sacred ceremonies to snowy mountains, coastal fires, underground caves and modern wildfires. Along the way, Skrein reveals fire as both life-giving and dangerous: a source of warmth, nourishment, community and wonder, but also a force capable of devastation when severed from balance and right relationship.Urgent, original and richly atmospheric, FIRE is both a celebration of the flame and a timely reflection on what we have done with it. With stories, insights and practical invitations woven throughout, Richard Skrein offers readers a fresh and compelling way to think about one of the most elemental forces in human life.At once poetic and politically resonant, intimate and expansive, this is a book that invites us to come closer to the fire- and to see it anew.

A hundred years. Thousands of women. One extraordinary pond.I have learned about peacocks and terrapins, giant cobras and booming widgeons; I have heard about celebrity spottings and al-fresco lovemaking and digestive biscuits. These things make up the history of the Ladies' Pond, but they also give us an insight into a hundred years of women's lives.From code breakers to cake bakers, I have learned that there is no such thing as a 'normal woman'; and over the last hundred years the Pond has played host to thousands of remarkable people.For a century, the Ladies' Pond on Hampstead Heath has welcomed women from every walk of life: artists and activists, swimmers and sunbathers, friends and free spirits. As Britain's most famous female open-air swimming spot, a pocket of wildness tucked away in the middle of the city, it has long attracted adventurous swimmers from all over the UK and the wider world.Brave and Bold celebrates one hundred years of this beloved London landmark through the rhythm of a single swimming year, from frozen Januarys to sun-drenched midsummers; through friendships, feminist activism and the exhilaration of open water.Created in collaboration with the Kenwood Ladies' Pond Association and rich with previously unseen archive material and new interviews - from Dolly Alderton and Amy Liptrot to lifelong swimmers of every era - this is far more than the story of one pond. It's a story of community, women and wild water across a century of social and political change, from suffragettes to soap stars, war to liberation, and shared flasks of tea to acts of quiet rebellion.Brave and Boldis both a love letter to Hampstead Heath and to every woman who has ever felt most at home bobbing about in open water.

From an acclaimed archaeological writer, a worldwide history of hunting"Offers a comprehensive, authoritative history tracing hunting's influence on culture and society through the ages."-Bill Heavy, Wall Street JournalHunting is one of humanity's most ancient and universal activities. It has been embedded in every facet of our lives, shaping social bonds, power hierarchies, and interactions with the spirit world. This book tells the story of how hunting evolved from a means of survival practiced with clubs and spears to a genteel display of royal power, and how it has become, in today's world, complicated and hotly contested.In this wide-ranging study, Brian Fagan discusses how Neanderthals stalked prey and killed at close range, how hunting evolved as a political spectacle, and how commercial and trophy hunting precipitated an ecological crisis. He invites us to hunt with Charlemagne, explains how there was more to the demise of North American bison herds than rifles, and describes how influential figures such as John Muir, George Bird Grinnell, and Theodore Roosevelt fought for conservation during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Filled with lively stories, fascinating discoveries, and compelling characters, Fagan's exploration of hunting-a companion to his Fishing-offers an informed and entertaining history of an essential human pursuit.

The Pursuit That Shaped Humanity

A brilliant and bloody examination of the axe's foundational role in human history, from prehistoric violence, to war and executions, splashed across newspaper headlines and popular culture.For as long as the axe has been in our hands, we have used it to kill.Much like the wheel, the boat, and the telephone, the axe is a transformative piece of technology ? one that has been with us since prehistory. And just as early humans used the axe to chop down trees, hunt for food, and whittle tools, they also used it to murder. Over time, this particular use has endured: as the axe evolved over centuries to fit the needs of new agricultural, architectural, and social development, so have our lethal uses for it.Whack Job is the story of the axe, first as a convenient danger and then an anachronism, as told through the murders it has been employed in throughout history: from the first axe murder nearly half a million years ago, to the brutal harnessing of the axe in warfare, and from its use in King Henry VIII's favourite method of execution, to Lizzie Borden and the birth of modern pop culture. Whack Job sheds brilliant light on this familiar implement, this most human of weapons. This is a critical examination of violence, an exploration of how technology shapes human conflict, the cruel and sacred rituals of execution and battle, and the ways humanity fits even the most savage impulses into narratives of the past and present.

Salt lakes are some of the world's most extraordinary ecosystems but nearly all of them-from the Great Salt Lake to the Aral Sea-are drying up, a harbinger of dust storms, rising sea levels and worsening human health. In this dazzling love letter to strange and delicate waters and a moving odyssey into her own identity, Caroline Tracey takes readers around the world to document salt lakes, their loss and the efforts underway to save them. She explores how the lakes have reflected the fast-changing environment through Mormon diaries, Soviet realist novels and Australian Aboriginal paintings. And she unravels the lakes' lessons for her own life as she finds queer love and a sense of home in an imperfect world. An unforgettable coming-of-age story and an exquisite work of nature writing, Salt Lakes is a moving call to fight for all that is fragile in our lives.
