  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.

  The Software Engineer's...

  Gergely Orosz

  In my first few years as a developer I assumed that hard work was all I needed. Then I was passed over for a promotion and my manager couldn’t give me feedback on what areas to improve, so I could get to the senior engineer level. I was frustrated; even bitter: not as much about missing the promotion, but because of the lack of guidance. 
  By the time I became a manager, I was determined to support engineers reporting to me with the kind of feedback and support I wish I would have gotten years earlier. And I did. While my team tripled over the next two years, people became visibly better engineers, and this progression was clear from performance reviews and promotions. 
  This book is a summary of the advice I’ve given to software engineers over the years – and then some more. 
  This book follows the structure of a “typical” career path for a software engineer, from starting out as a fresh-faced software developer, through being a role model senior/lead, all the way to the staff/principle/distinguished level. It summarizes what I’ve learned as a developer and how I’ve approached coaching engineers at different stages of their careers. 
  We cover “soft” skills which become increasingly important as your seniority increases, and the “hard” parts of the job, like software engineering concepts and approaches which help you grow professionally. 
  Praise for the book 
  “From performance reviews to P95 latency, from team dynamics to testing, Gergely demystifies all aspects of a software career. This book is well named: it really does feel like the missing guidebook for the whole industry.” – Tanya Reilly, principal engineer and author of The Staff Engineer's Path 
  "Spanning a huge range of topics from technical to social in a concise manner, this belongs on the desk of any software engineer looking to grow their impact and their career." – James Stanier, Director of Engineering at Shopify

  Succulents and Cacti -...

  Gardening doesn’t have to be complicated, time-consuming, or intimidating. In fact, it can be incredibly simple, even for those with the busiest schedules or the most modest of spaces. That’s where succulents and cacti come in—nature’s low-maintenance marvels. These resilient, often strikingly beautiful plants are not only easy to care for but also bring a sense of calm, creativity, and life to any environment. 
  Succulents and cacti have gained popularity worldwide, and for good reason. With their ability to thrive on minimal water and withstand periods of neglect, they’re ideal for both beginner gardeners and seasoned plant enthusiasts. Their incredible variety—ranging from the soft pastels of echeveria to the spiky grandeur of barrel cacti—makes them perfect for anyone looking to add visual interest and personality to their home or outdoor garden. 
  This book is designed as your practical guide to growing and enjoying succulents and cacti without stress or guesswork. Whether you’re hoping to liven up a sunny windowsill, design a water-wise outdoor landscape, or create a stunning tabletop arrangement, you’ll find the advice and inspiration you need within these pages. We’ll cover everything from choosing the right plants and preparing the perfect soil mix to watering properly, managing pests, and even propagating your favorites to expand your collection. 
  What makes succulents and cacti especially appealing is their adaptability. They flourish in tiny apartments and sprawling gardens alike, can be planted in traditional pots or repurposed containers, and require far less maintenance than most other plant types. For those with busy lifestyles, frequent travel schedules, or even a history of “black thumbs,” these plants offer the perfect entry point into the world of gardening.

  Earth Shapers - How We Mapped...

  The globetrotting story of how humans have harnessed the geographical landscape and written ourselves onto our surroundings.Mountains, meridians, rivers, and borders—these are some of the features that divide the world on our maps and in our minds. But geography is far less set in stone than we might believe, and, as Maxim Samson’s Earth Shapers contends, in our relatively short time on this planet, humans have become experts at fundamentally reshaping our surroundings.From the Qhapaq Ñan, the Inca’s “great road,” and Mozambique’s colonial railways to a Saudi Arabian smart city, and from Korea’s sacred Baekdu-daegan mountain range and the Great Green Wall in Africa to the streets of Chicago, Samson explores how we mold the world around us. And how, as we etch our needs onto the natural landscape, we alter the course of history. These fascinating stories of connectivity show that in our desire to make geographical connections, humans have broken through boundaries of all kinds, conquered treacherous terrain, and carved up landscapes. We crave linkages, and though we do not always pay attention to the in-between, these pathways—these ways of “earth shaping,” in Samson’s words—are key to understanding our relationship with the planet we call home.An immense work of cultural geography touching on ecology, sociology, history, and politics, Earth Shapers argues that, far from being constrained by geography, we are instead its creators.
