  Even Brook Trout Get the Blues

  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.

  Entomology - The World of Insects

  Insects are among the most diverse and ecologically significant organisms on Earth, playing essential roles in maintaining the balance of ecosystems. As the largest group of living creatures, with millions of species identified and many more yet to be discovered, insects contribute to biodiversity, food webs, and ecosystem stability in ways that are often overlooked. Their presence and activities influence plant life, soil health, and the survival of countless other species, making them indispensable to natural processes. 
  One of the most crucial roles insects play is pollination. Many flowering plants, including a significant portion of the world’s crops, depend on insects such as bees, butterflies, and beetles to transfer pollen between flowers, enabling reproduction. Without insect pollinators, ecosystems would struggle to sustain plant diversity, and agricultural yields would decline drastically, threatening food supplies for both humans and wildlife. The economic and ecological value of insect pollination is immeasurable, reinforcing the importance of conserving pollinator populations. 
  In addition to pollination, insects are fundamental to decomposition and nutrient cycling. Species such as dung beetles, termites, and various flies break down organic matter, returning nutrients to the soil and promoting healthy plant growth. This process not only recycles essential elements but also prevents the accumulation of decaying material, contributing to ecosystem cleanliness and balance. By decomposing dead plants and animals, insects help maintain the natural cycle of life, supporting plant regeneration and sustaining the broader environment.
