Sinopse

Chronicle Preservation explores the crucial topic of preserving historical records, examining how societies have strived to safeguard knowledge across time. It highlights the evolution of preservation methods, from the meticulous work of ancient manuscript preservation to the complex challenges of modern digital archiving. For instance, the transition from hand-copied manuscripts to the printing revolution not only increased the volume of information but also introduced new preservation challenges, such as managing acidic paper's degradation. The book emphasizes that preservation is not a neutral act but is intertwined with cultural values, power dynamics, and the choices we make about what survives.

 
The book adopts a chronological approach, guiding readers through three key phases: the age of manuscripts, the printing revolution, and the digital era. It examines the technologies and techniques that defined each period, as well as the social and economic factors that influenced preservation efforts. Each chapter builds upon the previous one, exploring the unique challenges and ethical considerations that arise with each technological advancement.

 
Ultimately, Chronicle Preservation aims to challenge readers to critically examine the biases inherent in preservation efforts and to consider the ethical implications of choosing what to save and who gets access to it.

The Poacher's Nightmare -...

Kennie Prince, Alfred Nichols

Racoons are not the only bandits wearing masks in the wilderness. Growing up, author Kennie Prince spent most of his time in the woods and creeks near his home in Rankin County, Mississippi. A highly skilled outdoorsman, Prince began his career with the Mississippi Department of Wildlife Conservation in 1983 and dedicated his life to protecting Mississippi's fish and wildlife resources in dangerous undercover work. The Poacher's Nightmare: Stories of an Undercover Game Warden contains dozens of hair-raising accounts of covert wildlife operations, often spanning years, requiring ingenious planning, complicated secrecy, and deft coordination. 
 
 
 
Prince infiltrated bloody-minded, wary criminal groups, winning their trust. When his traps were fully set, he involved other state and federal law enforcement officials to bring an abrupt halt to abominable thefts of vast fish and wildlife resources from the public trust. Smart, creative, knowledgeable, tenacious, disciplined, passionate, and a natural-born actor, Prince bore a unique skill set that made him an ideal fit for this perilous undertaking. This memoir details how Prince gained the confidence of tightly knit circles of loyal, leery poachers and put an end to their destructive evil.

Even Brook Trout Get the Blues

John Gierach

Brilliant, witty, perceptive essays about fly-fishing, the natural world, and life in general by the acknowledged master of fishing writers. 
 
 
 
"Once an angler has become serious about the sport (and 'serious' is the word that's used), he'll never again have enough tackle or enough time to use it. And his nonangling friends and family may never again entirely recognize him, either." In other words, he (or she) will have entered Gierach territory. 
 
 
 
Whether debating bamboo versus graphite rods, describing the pleasure of fishing in pocket waters or during a spring snow in the mountains, or recounting a trip in pursuit of the "fascinatingly ugly" longnose gar, Gierach understands that fly-fishing is more than a sport. It's a way of life in which patience is (mostly) rewarded, the rhythms of the natural world are appreciated, and the search for the perfect rod or ideal stream is never ending. It is not a life without risks, for as Gierach warns: "This perspective on things can change you irreparably. If it comes to you early enough in life, it can save you from ever becoming what they call 'normal.'" Even Brook Trout Get the Blues will convince you that "normal" is greatly overrated.
