The New York Times bestseller that's “a celebration of sport fishing in America, its history, locales, and impact” (New York Times Book Review).An essential book for everyone who loves casting a line into our nation's waters, The American Fisherman, by outdoorsman Willie Robertson (CEO of Duck Commander and star of A&E’s Duck Dynasty) and historian William Doyle, reveals that in the U.S.A., fishing is far more than a pastime—it has shaped our past and defined our character in remarkable ways.This generously illustrated celebration of fish, anglers, and our country’s treasured wild places traces fishing’s astonishing impact on the United States and its people, from its settlement and founding, to powering its economy and inspiring our creativity and faith. Blessed by perhaps the most diverse and abundant waters in the world, Native Americans were the continent’s first master anglers and incorporated fish into their spiritual beliefs and legends. When the Vikings, the earliest European visitors, arrived, they were drawn across the Atlantic Ocean by the bountiful fishing grounds of North America’s East Coast. During the colonial era, fish helped save the Pilgrims, make George Washington wealthy, and win the American Revolution. From New England cod to Pacific Northwest salmon to Gulf shrimp, the fishing industry has fed and financed centuries of Americans in every region of the country.A spirited and unique look at the U.S.A. and its people, The American Fisherman will hook every sportsman from the first page and forever deepen their appreciation for the fishing life.INCLUDES MORE THAN seventy-five PHOTOSZum Buch
The remarkable eighty-five-day journey of the first two women to canoe the 2,000-mile route from Minneapolis to Hudson Bay Unrelenting winds, carnivorous polar bears, snake nests, sweltering heat, and constant hunger. Paddling from Minneapolis to Hudson Bay, following the 2,000-mile route made famous by Eric Sevareid in his 1935 classic Canoeing with the Cree, Natalie Warren and Ann Raiho faced unexpected trials, some harrowing, some simply odd. Warren's spellbinding account retraces the women's journey from inspiration to Arctic waters, giving listeners an insider view of planning a three-month canoe expedition to the successful accomplishment of the adventure of a lifetime. Along the route we meet the people who live and work on the waterways, including denizens of a resort who supply much-needed sustenance; a solitary resident in the wilderness who helps plug a leak; and the people of the Cree First Nation at Norway House, where the canoeists acquire a furry companion. Describing the tensions that erupt between the women and the natural and human-made phenomena they encounter, Warren brings us into her experience, and we join these modern women (and their dog) as they recreate this historic trip, including the pleasures and perils, the sexism, the social and environmental implications, and the enduring wonder of the wilderness.Zum Buch

Fitness tracking has revolutionized how we approach personal health and exercise, transforming workouts into data-driven experiences. By integrating technology with fitness, individuals can now measure their progress, set precise goals, and maintain motivation more effectively than ever before. The concept of tracking fitness isn’t entirely new—athletes have long relied on basic tools like stopwatches and pedometers to monitor their performance. However, the digital age has elevated this practice to unprecedented levels. Modern fitness trackers, ranging from wearable devices to smartphone apps, provide comprehensive insights into various aspects of health, including heart rate, activity levels, sleep quality, and calorie consumption. These technologies have become accessible to the average person, democratizing fitness knowledge and enabling users to make informed decisions about their health. One of the key benefits of fitness tracking is its ability to personalize workouts. Unlike traditional approaches that rely on generic advice, fitness trackers collect real-time data to create tailored recommendations. For instance, a device might suggest adjusting intensity during a run based on heart rate feedback, ensuring optimal performance without overexertion. Such features empower users to maximize efficiency while minimizing the risk of injury.Zum Buch
