  John Gierach is a highly trusted and trustable opinion-maker in fly-fishing. People take what he says to the bank. While most of Gierach's writing is essay-style and reflective, here he gets down to the nitty-gritty: how he ties his favorite flies and why he thinks they work so well for him. There is, thus, an instant reader connection: "Gierach's patterns are good enough for me." 
   
   
   
  Few anglers will skip knowing what a master angler and thinker prefers for his fly box. This title covers a gamut of patterns essential to trout fishing in a variety of circumstances: dry flies, wet flies and nymphs, and streamers. Gierach's legion of fans of his regular magazine column will be highly inclined to buy this title.

  With evocative storytelling and incisive research, Katie Rose Guest Pryal brings a new eye to the mental health crisis that higher education has faced for decades. Written from the perspective of a bipolar-autistic professor, A Light in the Tower is both a bracing account of the mental health crisis in higher education and a passionate and informed proposal for how to teach with mental health in mind. 
   
   
   
  Pryal contends that higher education's mental health crisis is the result of long-term systemic problems in education that demand nothing short of a revolution. She examines the anxiety that plagues campuses as a result of exploited and overworked contingent faculty and students, the shock events like COVID-19 and campus shootings that traumatize communities, the systemic and institutional burnout that affects higher education at every level, and the market-driven culture of toxic overwork. These are large-scale problems that need large-scale solutions. Addressing the stigma that haunts mental disability on campus, the ableism that hounds our teaching, and the cascade of mental health struggles that far too many faculty and students face, Pryal provides straightforward solutions to these complex challenges.

  This book contains the following titles: 
  Applied Physics - At its heart, applied physics bridges the gap between the abstract and the tangible. It transforms equations, theories, and experiments into solutions that have revolutionized modern society. The development of technologies such as semiconductors, lasers, and imaging systems began with fundamental discoveries in quantum mechanics and electromagnetism. These technologies now play a critical role in shaping industries, improving healthcare, and enhancing communication. 
  Astrophysics - Astrophysics, the study of the physical nature of celestial objects and the universe as a whole, seeks to answer some of humanity's most profound questions. What are the fundamental forces governing the cosmos? How did the universe originate, and what is its ultimate fate? These inquiries lie at the heart of astrophysics, a discipline that merges physics, mathematics, and astronomy to explore the heavens beyond the reach of Earth. 
  Chemistry - The field of chemistry is divided into several branches, each focusing on different aspects of matter. Organic chemistry, for example, deals with the structure and reactions of carbon-containing compounds, which form the basis of life. Inorganic chemistry, on the other hand, focuses on non-carbon compounds and materials like metals, salts, and minerals. Physical chemistry explores the energy changes and dynamics of chemical reactions, while analytical chemistry involves techniques to determine the composition of substances. 
  Physics - Over time, physics has expanded its scope to include a wide range of subfields. Classical mechanics, which focuses on the motion of objects and the forces acting on them, remains a fundamental area of study. However, as technology advanced, new branches emerged, such as electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics.
