The World's Greatest Fishing Stories

Did you know an octopus can fit through a gap as small as a dime, but some can grow longer than a school bus? Or that some species pack enough poison to kill humans within minutes? Or that they can problem-solve, navigate mazes and open locks, and that they can even have a favorite toy? With their remarkable behaviors and unique anatomy, it's hardly surprising that octopuses have captivated our imagination for centuries. But there is so much more to this misunderstood and spellbinding creature. Unravel the secrets of this astonishing animal and explore its mystifying world with&nbsp;The Little Book of the Octopus. With this book, you will discover how octopuses utilize their three hearts and blue blood, how their highly developed nervous system endows them with extraordinary intelligence, how they regenerate their limbs, and so much more. Learn about the rich folklore and myths that surround them, from ancient maritime legends to symbolic meanings across cultures, and journey through their diverse habitats and history. Whether you're a marine biology enthusiast or just curious about these astounding cephalopods, dive in and uncover the magic and mystery of the octopus.

The Zen of Flyfishing

The Orvis Guide to Picking the Right Trout Fly

Zoo Animal Welfare

Kevin Adams reveals his favourite hidden spots and celebrates a new way to fish and explore our natural landscapes. Forget landscaped riverbanks, pricey fishing enclaves and non-native, over-farmed fish. Documenting 700 lesser-known scenic fishing spots, often rarely visited yet free or affordable. Including secret urban streams, fly fishing for coarse fish, river trotting and lesser-known trout streams, as well as the best fishing inns and the most remote Scottish lochs and Cornish coves. Wild Fishing Britain reflects a growing trend to conserve, protect and restore our aquatic ecosystems and engage with wild, natural species in some of our most beautiful landscapes. Carpe diem (and that doesn't mean fish of the day).

Explore the world of extraordinary marine creatures in this beautifully illustrated guide to thirty species of octopuses, cuttlefish, and squids. In Sea Wonders, discover the remarkable characteristics of cephalopods, enigmatic sea creatures with arms directly attached to their heads, who are masters of survival and transformation. Thirty species are collected in this fascinating guidebook, detailing their most surprising habits and abilities: <ul><li> Enterprising, resourceful, and intelligent, they know how to solve problems and can use objects as tools. </li><li> They are notorious for escaping from aquaria. </li><li> They can recognize people and can even feel dislike for some! </li><li> Some species, such as the orchid cuttlefish, are among the most colorful organisms in the oceans. </li><li> Others, like the blue-ringed octopus, are famous for their lethal bite. </li><li> Some of the world’s largest invertebrates are cephalopods—including giant squids the size of a bus—about which very little research exists to this day. </li></ul> &nbsp; The first half of the book contains fifty gorgeously detailed and realistic illustrations and delves into the species' main characteristics and the secrets of their underwater world. The second half features specimen cards with&nbsp;scientific information and fun facts for easy reference. REMARKABLY BRIGHT CREATURES: Cephalopods are fascinating creatures increasingly understood as&nbsp;intelligent, sophisticated, and resourceful animals. Their unexpected cognitive capacities encourage us to reflect on how we relate to the natural world, making it clear that it is not only mammals and birds who deserve our empathy. THOROUGHLY RESEARCHED SCIENTIFIC FACTS: Various species of octopuses, squids, and cuttlefish are explored in these pages, with in-depth information on habitats and habits as well as fun facts.

The crucian is a freshwater fish species seeing a renaissance of interest in angling and conservation communities in Britain. The book takes a comprehensive approach, covering biology, ecology, angling and cultural connections, supported by a bibliography and beautiful colour imagery.

The crucian is a freshwater fish species seeing a renaissance of interest in angling and conservation communities in Britain. Despite its wide northern European and western Asian distribution, the species is under threat from multiple causes including the decimation of the small pond habitats upon which they depend. It is as a small pond specialist that the conservation value of the crucian is particularly relevant, the species providing a charismatic focus supporting the protection and restoration of these highly threatened and much-reduced habitat types.The book takes a comprehensive approach, covering:(1) biology and ecology, including taxonomy(2) angling, including baits, methods and former and current record fish(3) cultural connections, including etymology, artworks and culinary aspects of the fish.These sections are supported by a bibliography and beautiful colour imagery, Crucians offering a fascinating read for conservationists, anglers and freshwater biologists alike.

Crucians (Carassius carassius)

The acclaimed marine biologist and author of The Brilliant Abyss examines the existential threats the world’s ocean will face in the coming decades and offers cautious optimism for much of the abundant life within inNo matter where we live, “we are all ocean people,” Helen Scales emphatically observes in her bracing yet hopeful exploration of the future of the ocean. Beginning with its fascinating deep history, Scales links past to present to show how the prehistoric ocean ecology was already working in ways similar to the ocean of today. In elegant, evocative prose, she takes readers into the realms of animals that epitomize today’s increasingly challenging conditions. Ocean life everywhere is on the move as seas warm, and warm waters are an existential threat to emperor penguins, whose mating grounds in Antarctica are collapsing. Shark populations—critical to balanced ecosystems—have shrunk by 71 per cent since the 1970s, largely the result of massive and oft-unregulated industrial fishing. Orcas—the apex predators—have also drastically declined, victims of toxic chemicals and plastics with long half-lives that disrupt the immune system and the ability to breed. Yet despite these threats, many hopeful signs remain. Increasing numbers of no-fish zones around the world are restoring once-diminishing populations. Amazing seagrass meadows and giant kelp forests rivaling those on land are being regenerated and expanded.&nbsp;They may be our best defense against the storm surges caused by global warming, while efforts to reengineer coral reefs for a warmer world are growing.Offering innovative ideas for protecting coastlines and cleaning the toxic seas, Scales insists we need more ethical and sustainable fisheries and must prevent the other existential threat of deep-sea mining, which could significantly alter life on earth. Inspiring us all to maintain a sense of awe and wonder at the majesty beneath the waves, she urges us to fight for the better future that still exists for the Anthropocene ocean.

What the Wild Sea Can Be

Together, these anglers have nearly 200 years of fly fishing experience. They've tried -- and refined -- it all, so you can catch fish -- anywhere, any time, with just one type of fly.&nbsp;Angling afficionados and authors Chouinard, Mathews, and Mazzo join together again to reveal the secret to successful fly fishing: the pheasant tail fly. In Simple Fly Fishing (Patagonia,&nbsp;2014; 2018), they made the case for replacing unnecessary gear with knowledge and technique. Now, after years of continuing to experiment and simplify, they offer the next step: the feathers that can be used to tie any kind of fly: nymphs, dry flies, emergers, and beetles. Conceived as an advanced follow-up to Simple Fly Fishing, Pheasant Tail Simplicity focuses on essential fly patterns that all share one critical ingredient—pheasant tail. The book explores the techniques required to tie and present these flies to trout, anadromous, and saltwater species. More than just a guide, it challenges the industry norm that thousands of fly patterns are necessary to catch fish. Instead, it distills fly fishing to its core: one shared fly tying ingredient, a handful of techniques, and a mindset that prioritizes knowledge, craft, and creativity over all else. &nbsp;The book includes 17 detailed fly recipes, with ingredients lists and step-by-step photos. Then they tell how to use this one type of fly to catch any kind of fish. In concise text, with instructional photos throughout and QR codes that link to how-to videos for tying and fishing with these flies, this book and its techniques force you to rely on your skills and to be creative to be successful. You will catch fish as you never have before.&nbsp;
