Great Sierra Waters The Eastern...

Terry Courtright

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.

Where is My F***N Leg?!

David Macintosh

Scalpels, Egos, Libidos. Is anybody in this hospital under control? 
In surgery, every cut changes a body forever. But what do you really know about the person holding the knife? Are their bodies betraying them and their desires distracting them? Does doubt haunt them and pride destroy them? 
This is the story of the surgeons who stole a leg and saved a life. They are  the ones falling apart in the tearoom afterwards. The aging consultant who can feel his hands betraying him. The single mother questioning every 
cut she's ever made. The brilliant surgeon whose ego writes cheques 
his marriage can't cash. The trainee left holding the blame when a surgeon decides his reputation matters more than the truth. Two women torn apart by a lascivious outsider. And a woman who holds them all together. 
Set in tropical North Queensland; Where is My F***N Leg?! is about the tribes we belong to in operating theatres, in marriages, in the quiet hours when there's nothing left to hide behind. 
It's funny. It's searing. It's painful. 
A blisteringly honest account of loss, lust, trust, betrayal and the uncomfortable truth that the people cutting you open are just as breakable as the rest of us.

In the Name of Science

Ron B Knight

A slippery reality farce based on following the money, an independent research facility with no particular disciplinary focus and no public sector grant money or foundation funding is doing its best to "sound kosher", let alone keep the operations flowing. An overworked lab sciences foundation director has been working tirelessly to keep funding coming in to the aging, if not otherwise obsolete, somewhat mediocre research facility, procuring the oddest of scientific studies.As read by the author, and narrator, author Ron Knight (national voice of Nickelodeon, The Travel Channel, ABC Sports Network Television, Prime and Sirius Satellite Radio, with background at Archie Comics and King Features/Hearst) spins us through the otherwise shaky dealings of an insecure science foundation, through "John Cleese inspired" high brow, low embarrassment status differentials, in this best of short form literature under 15 minutes. Taken from real life stories published in the New York Times, this real time mashup breaks improv sketch style comedy as first produced at the New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts' School for Film and Television, into the adapted audiobook narrative form. 5 characters, 4 male, 1 female, in addition to the main narrator role position. Published by the author's studio as short form audiobook.
