Still Water: The Deep Life of the Pond , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 375min

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Still Water by John Lewis-Stempel, read by Leighton Pugh. The pond. Nothing in the countryside is more humble or more valuable. It’s the moorhen’s reedy home, the frog’s ancient breeding place, the kill zone of the beautiful dragonfly. More than a hundred rare and threatened fauna and flora depend on it. Written in gorgeous prose, Still Water tells the seasonal story of the wild animals and plants that live in and around the pond, from the mayfly larvae in the mud to the patrolling bats in the night sky above. It reflects an era before the water was polluted with chemicals and the land built on for housing, a time when ponds shone everywhere like eyes in the land, sustaining life for all, from fish to carthorse. Still Water is a loving biography of the pond and an alarm call on behalf of this precious but overlooked habitat. Above all, John Lewis-Stempel takes us on a remarkable journey - deep, deep down into the nature of still water. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Leighton Pugh.

The Stream of Everything (eBook, ePUB)

It's summer, and John Connell finds himself, like so many others, confined to his local area, the opportunity to freely travel and socialise cut short. His attention turns to the Camlin river - an ever-present source of life for his hometown's inhabitants and, for John, a site of boyhood adventure, first love, family history and local legend.He decides to canoe its course with a friend, a two-day trip requiring physical exertion and mental resilience. Despite the world growing still around them, the river teems with life - a symphony of buzzing mayfly and jumping trout. Meandering downstream, John muses on what's brought him here: his travels, his past relationships and his battle with depression, as well as on Irish folklore, geopolitics and philosophy.The Stream of Everything is both a reverie and a celebration of close observation: a winding, bucolic account of the summer we discovered home.'Quietly triumphant.' Donal Ryan'A contemplative, open-ended, ethically attuned pilgrimage.' Niamh Campbell'A terrific book.' Michael Harding'This is a sensitive, edifying, soul-nourishing book, celebratory, salutary and quietly triumphant. I loved reading it.' Donal Ryan'A rich river journey, entrancing as all rivers are.' Bruce Pascoe'Gentle, restorative, devotional, and strange.' Niamh Campbell'A hugely satisfying read, full of imaginative wonders and absorbing philosophical musings.' Michael Harding'In his joyful consideration of his native place, there is sweetness and ease ... A book very much of its strange and eye-opening time.' Belinda McKeon

The Feather Bender's Flytying Techniques: A Comprehensive Guide to Classic and Modern Trout Flies

A comprehensive, lavishly illustrated guide to tying popular trout flies. This book is aimed at all fly tyers, from those with modest experience to those with more advanced skills. The author's intention is to focus on certain important elementary techniques, and then share some of his favorite contemporary twists on old, tried-and-true techniques. Many of the flies in this book are based in his own techniques and patterns, ones that he has developed in more than thirty-five years of tying. The book is arranged in sections to give readers the opportunity to easily locate the pattern or technique they are looking for. Patterns are not grouped alphabetically, but by technique. For example, the section on dry flies has categories demonstrating a particular dry fly style or technique such as mastering the use of deer hair, parachute, CDC, and so on. If you are fairly new to fly tying, the opening chapters on materials and special techniques and tricks will familiarize you with some basics and help you get started. Seasoned tyers will similarly find information here to help them raise their tying skills to a new level. Each pattern is listed with a recipe, recommended hook style, size, and materials. They are listed in the order that that author uses them, and illustrated by the book's step-by-step images. This will help you plan each pattern and assemble materials your beforehand. Included are lushly illustrated photos for such well-known trout flies as: * Pheasant tail nymph * Klinkhamer * Humpy * Deer Hair Irresistible * CDC Mayfly Spinner * And much more. A special feature of this one-of-a-kind books is that its the first tying book to have a video link for all the patterns featured. Watch the author tying online, then turn to the matching chapter in the book to follow the step-by-step instructions so that you can tie your own fly in your own time. Author Barry Ord Clarke will respond online to your questions.
