  Great Sierra Waters, the Eastern Slope is a definitive study of the Truckee River but also includes the Owens and the East Walker.  It's a serious fly-fishing book that shows you how to fish these rivers, what to use as far as fly patterns, and how to tie them for your greatest success. In addition to the fishing information which represents 60 years of fishing knowledge by the author, it details the plight of the Lahontan Cutthroat that has existed in the Truckee River drainage for 10 million years. This drainage runs from Lake Tahoe to Pyramid Lake and the Cutthroats have been famous since the 1930's when fishermen flocked from all over the world to fish for them.  
  In the last twenty years the original strain was found in a few tributaries in the Pilot Peak range of north central Nevada. They have taken hold again in Pyramid Lake and fish in excess of 30 pounds are currently available and they're running up the Truckee to spawn.  The demise of the Truckee began with the building of Derby Dam in the early 1900s.  The last great spawning run occurred in 1938, and the average fish weighed 18 1/2 pounds.  The last great Cutthroat trout was caught in 1949 in downtown Reno, Nevada and weighed twenty-two pounds and ten ounces.  
  As a boy, author Terry Courtright fished it constantly from the time he was 10 years old until he left for college.  He later came back and wrote outdoor columns about fly fishing the Truckee, then moved back to Montana to fish all of the great waters in the West.  As we speak, there is a great resurgence of interest in recovering this fish in this fishery and Courtright's last chapter on this book called The Restoration of the Lahontan Cutthroat brings to light the most sophisticated and workable fisheries plan that has ever been developed.  Great Sierra Waters is a welcome and timely addition to knowledge of the trout fisheries everywhere.

  The world's oceans are changing at a drastic pace. In response, the people who know the ocean most intimately are taking action for the sake of our shared future. Community scientists track species in California tidepools. Researchers dive into the waters around Sydney to replant kelp forests. Scientists and First Nations communities collaborate to restore clam gardens in the Pacific Northwest. 
   
   
   
  In At Every Depth, the oceanographer Tessa Hill and the science journalist Eric Simons profile these and other efforts to understand and protect marine environments, taking listeners to habitats from shallow tidepools to the deep sea. They delve into the many human connections to the ocean—how people live with and make their living from the waters—journeying to places as far-flung as coral reefs, the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, and the Arctic and Antarctic poles. At Every Depth shares the stories of people from all walks of life, including scientists, coastal community members, Indigenous people, shellfish farmers, and fisheries workers. It brings together varied viewpoints, showing how scientists' research and local and Indigenous knowledge can complement each other to inform a more sustainable future. This book offers a narrative perspective on the changing oceans, letting us see how our relationships to the oceans are changing too.

  Sea of Troubles - The European...

  In the mid-eighteenth century, most of the Mediterranean coastline and its hinterlands were controlled by the Ottoman Empire, a vast Islamic power regarded by Christian Europe with awe and fear. By the end of the First World War, however, this great civilisation had been completely subjugated, and its territories occupied by European powers. Sea of Troubles is the definitive account of the European conquest of the Levant and North Africa over three centuries. Ian Rutledge reveals the intense imperial rivalry between six European powers - Britain, France, Italy, Spain, Austria-Hungary and Russia - who all jostled for control of the trade, lands and wealth of the Islamic Mediterranean. The competition between these states made their conquest a far more difficult and extended task than they encountered elsewhere in the world. Yet, as new contenders entered the contest, and as rivalries intensified in the early twentieth century, events would spiral out of control as the continent headed towards the First World War.

  The Complete Guide to Pediatrics...

  Pediatrics is the branch of medicine dedicated to the health and well-being of infants, children, and adolescents, focusing on preventive care, early disease detection, and the management of both acute and chronic conditions. It encompasses a broad range of medical care, from routine check-ups and immunizations to diagnosing and treating infections, congenital disorders, and developmental delays. Unlike adult medicine, pediatrics requires a specialized approach due to the unique physiological, psychological, and developmental needs of children. Pediatricians play a crucial role in ensuring children grow and develop optimally by monitoring milestones, providing nutritional guidance, and educating parents on best health practices. They also work closely with families and caregivers to address emotional and behavioral concerns, helping to create a supportive environment for a child’s overall well-being.  
  The scope of pediatrics extends to various subspecialties, including neonatology, pediatric cardiology, and pediatric neurology, which focus on specific medical conditions that require advanced expertise. Child development is a fundamental aspect of pediatrics, as growth occurs in distinct stages, each marked by significant physical, cognitive, and emotional changes. Early intervention in cases of developmental delays, genetic conditions, or chronic diseases can greatly improve long-term health outcomes.  
  Preventive care is a key pillar of pediatric medicine, with an emphasis on immunizations, nutrition, and health education to reduce the risk of disease and promote healthy lifestyles from infancy through adolescence. Pediatricians not only treat illnesses but also advocate for child safety, mental health support, and public health initiatives aimed at reducing childhood morbidity and mortality.
