    From the award-winning, New York Times best-selling author of Cod and Salt, To Catch a Fish is an entertaining and beautifully written illustrated collection of essays that explore a lifetime fascination with fishing.    For as long as there have been humans, there have been humans trying to catch fish. The two species—fish and man—live in constant tension. One chases the other. One tries to get away. Some of us—author Mark Kurlansky included—are hard-wired for that chase. Guiding readers through the waters and into the mind of the fish, Kurlansky considers who fish are and why they behave the way they do, and along the way delves into the many approaches to catching a fish, their ecology, and the ins and outs of cooking and eating your catch. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a novice, or simply want to explore the world of fish, the forty short essays in this collection and the dazzling illustrations by Bri Dostie, shed new light on these creatures and our relationship to them.

    Volleyball is a dynamic and fast-paced sport that has captivated players and fans worldwide. Originally invented in 1895 by William G. Morgan, the game was designed as a less physically demanding alternative to basketball. Over time, volleyball evolved into a highly strategic and physically intense sport played both recreationally and competitively across the globe. 
    The objective of volleyball is simple—two teams compete to score points by sending the ball over the net and landing it in the opposing team's court. Each team has six players on the court, and they must work together to execute plays within three touches: a pass, a set, and an attack. This structure makes teamwork and communication essential elements of the game. 
    Understanding the basic rules and regulations is crucial for new players. Matches are typically played in a best-of-five set format, with each set requiring a team to reach 25 points with at least a two-point lead. The fifth set, if needed, is played to 15 points. Rally scoring is used, meaning a point is awarded on every serve, regardless of which team served. Faults, such as carrying the ball, stepping over the service line, or touching the net, result in points for the opposing team.

    What makes a true leader? Is it a title — or the courage to change what isn’t right? 
    In The Captaincy, Mark Francis draws on forty years in elite women’s rugby and global leadership consultancy to reveal the real foundations of modern leadership. Through over 60 Captain stories — from world-class athletes, pioneering women, and bold change-makers — Francis shows that leadership isn’t a job title. It’s an ethos. A choice. An intention. 
    Central to the book is Sporting Intelligence (SpQ), a powerful model built on four essential leadership traits: 
    Positive Intention, Self-Command, Thin-Slicing, and Tribal Fire. 
    Together, they sharpen decision-making, build confidence, ignite team spirit, and help leaders act courageously when the path isn’t clear. 
    From the training grounds of women’s rugby to Olympic arenas, global boardrooms, heart-surgery theatres, entrepreneurial start-ups and community projects, The Captaincy uncovers how great leaders think, choose, communicate and inspire — especially when the pressure is highest. 
    You’ll discover: 
    • Why the world urgently needs more female leaders 
    • How everyday people become Champions of change 
    • How to overcome self-doubt and lead with clarity 
    • How to build communities, tribes and movements 
    • Practical tools to influence, decide and take action 
    • Real stories of courage, inclusion, resilience and impact 
    Whether you’re leading a team, shaping a project, launching an idea, or searching for direction, this book will equip you to act with intention, confidence and purpose. 
    The Captaincy is your call to step up — to lead with vision and heart, on and off the field. 
    The Captaincy is a call to embrace these lessons, step forward with courage, and carry the spirit of captaincy into every arena of life. 
    Open these pages and discover how you, too, can step into your own captaincy – and lead with impact, on and off the field.
