  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 Holy Grail, the head of Christ, the elixir of life, vast treasure and powerful political conspiracies. All of these and more are part of the tale of that enigmatic warrior brotherhood we know as the Knights Templar. It is said they discovered a great secret buried deep beneath the Temple of Solomon and gathered together in-order to protect it from generation to generation. Over time they were feared by all their enemies, not least of which was eventually the Catholic Church itself. A powerful and mighty brotherhood with real hidden secrets that spanned across the known world and even beyond into the new world of the Americas. And all of this from the humble origins of a handful of supposedly poor warrior monks. 
   
  The truth is that the Templars had found great treasure. It gave them immense wealth, property and power. Their strength was so great that monarchs of Europe feared them and some plotted their demise. 
   
  But their treasure was more than material wealth; it was also philosophically, mystically and spiritually profound. So profound that it was in fact the ultimate secret that has been hidden and protected by secret societies ever since. Prepare to discover the truth.

  Who is 'Mad'? Who is Not? And Who Decides?
  In this fascinating new exploration of mental illness, Professor Brendan Kelly examines 'madness' in history and how we have responded to it over the centuries.
  We travel from the psychiatric institutions of modern India to scientific studies of the brain in Victorian England. We discover the beginnings of formal asylum care and witness the experimental therapies of the cavernous psychiatric hospitals of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Ireland, England, Belgium, Italy, Germany and the United States.
  Covering lobotomy and the Nazis' Aktion T4 campaign, as well as Freud, psychoanalysis, cognitive behavioural therapy and neuroscience, In Search of Madness examines the shift in recent times from 'psychobabble' to 'neurobabble'.
  This is an all encompassing history of one of the most basic fears to haunt the human psyche – madness – and it concludes with a passionate manifesto for change: four proposals to make mental health services more effective, accessible and just.

  Social Psychology - The...

  Social psychology is the scientific study of how individuals think, feel, and behave in social contexts. It explores the dynamic interaction between the individual and society, examining how social influences shape attitudes, perceptions, and actions. Unlike sociology, which focuses on large-scale social structures, or personality psychology, which emphasizes individual traits, social psychology is concerned with the situational and environmental factors that influence behavior. By understanding these processes, social psychology helps explain why people conform to social norms, how prejudices form, and what drives human interactions. 
  One of the core principles of social psychology is that human behavior is largely shaped by the presence, actions, or even imagined influence of others. This concept is central to theories of conformity, persuasion, and group behavior. Classic experiments, such as Solomon Asch’s studies on conformity and Stanley Milgram’s research on obedience, illustrate how individuals often adjust their behavior in response to social pressures. These findings demonstrate that while people may believe they act independently, their decisions and actions are frequently influenced by external social forces. 
  Another key area of social psychology is the study of social cognition—how people perceive, interpret, and remember information about themselves and others. Cognitive biases, such as the fundamental attribution error and self-serving bias, shape how individuals understand social interactions and make judgments about others. These mental shortcuts can lead to errors in reasoning and contribute to stereotypes and misunderstandings. By exploring these cognitive processes, social psychology helps explain how individuals navigate their social environments and how they sometimes misinterpret reality.
