Sinopsis

The ultimate useless knowledge book for anglers

From the deep black depths of the oceans to the sparkling surfaces of inland lakes, from the mysterious legends of ancient cultures to the dazzling anecdotes of modern times - the art of fishing has always fascinated and inspired mankind. "The Ultimate Unuseful Knowledge Book for Anglers" delves into the incredible, amazing and often surprising aspects of this ancient art.

Hundreds of amazing facts about the sport of fishing

Discover how fishing has found its place in so many facets of human life - in culture, history, sport and even therapy. Learn how casting a line is considered a meditative exercise in Japanese temples, or how certain fishing tournaments involve mysterious customs such as kissing a fish before releasing it. Be amused by the story of the woman who actually had a diamond ring on her fishing rod, or the legend of the medieval monk who drenched his fishing lure with beer.

Fishing has found a special resonance in music and poetry. Celtic ballads sing of fishermen meeting mermaids, while modern country songs tell humorous stories about relationship problems due to too much fishing time. Reggae music has its own interpretations, as does the blues, both using fishing as a metaphor for the deeper meanings of life.

But this is no ordinary book about fishing. It's not about how to catch the biggest fish or which lures are best for which fish. Instead, it's about exploring the cultural, historical and often humorous sides of fishing. It's a book that will be enjoyed by both the experienced angler and the novice who has just bought their first fishing rod.

The perfect gift for all fishing enthusiasts

This book is a treasure trove of anecdotes, facts and stories that are both surprising and educational. It is a must for anyone who loves fishing, or for the person who simply appreciates a good story.

Fatal Abstraction - Why the...

Darryl Campbell

Software was supposed to radically improve society. Outdated mechanical systems would be easily replaced; social media platforms like Facebook would bring people together; and generative AI would solve the world’s greatest ills. Yet in practice, few of the systems we looked to with such high hopes have lived up to their fundamental mandate. In fact, in too many cases they've made things worse. How did we get to this point? 
 
 
 
In Fatal Abstraction, Darryl Campbell explains that the problem is "managerial software": programs created and overseen not by engineers but by professional managers with only the most superficial knowledge of technology itself. 
 
 
 
A former tech worker himself, Campbell shows how managerial software fails, and when it does what sorts of disastrous consequences ensue, from the Boeing 737 MAX crashes to a deadly self-driving car to PowerPoint propaganda, and beyond. Yet just because the tech industry is currently breaking its core promise does not mean the industry cannot change. Campbell argues that the solution is tech workers with actual expertise establishing industry-wide principles of ethics and safety that corporations would be forced to follow. Fatal Abstraction is a stirring rebuke of the tech industry's current managerial excesses, and also a hopeful glimpse of what a world shaped by good software can offer.

Wait Five Minutes - Weatherlore...

Shelley Ingram, Willow G. Mullins

The weather governs our lives. It fills gaps in conversations, determines our dress, and influences our architecture. No matter how much our lives may have moved indoors, no matter how much we may rely on technology, we still monitor the weather. Wait Five Minutes: Weatherlore in the Twenty-First Century draws from folkloric, literary, and scientific theory to offer up new ways of thinking about this most ancient of phenomena. 
 
 
 
Weatherlore is a concept that describes the folk beliefs and traditions about the weather that are passed down casually among groups of people. From detailing personal experiences at picnics and suburban lawns to critically analyzing storm stories, novels, and flood legends, contributors offer engaging multidisciplinary perspectives on weatherlore. 
 
 
 
As we move further into the twenty-first century, an increasing awareness of climate change and its impacts on daily life calls for a folkloristic reckoning with the weather and a rising need to examine vernacular understandings of weather and climate. Weatherlore helps us understand and shape global political conversations about climate change and biopolitics at the same time that it influences individual, group, and regional lives and identities. We use weather, and thus its folklore, to make meaning of ourselves, our groups, and, quite literally, our world.

Inside the Invisible Cage - How...

Hatim Rahman

In a world increasingly run by algorithms and artificial intelligence, Hatim Rahman traces how organizations are using algorithms to control workers in an "invisible cage." 
 
 
  
Inside the Invisible Cage uses unique longitudinal data to investigate how digital labor platforms use algorithms to dictate the actions of high-skilled workers by determining accepted behaviors, work opportunities, and even success. As Hatim Rahman explains, employers can use algorithms to shift rules and guidelines without notice, explanation, or recourse for workers. The invisible cage signals a profound shift in the way markets and organizations categorize and ultimately control people. 
 
 
  
Unlike previous forms of labor control, the invisible cage is ubiquitous, yet it is also opaque and shifting, which makes breaking free from it difficult for workers. This book traces how the invisible cage was developed over time and the implications it has for the spread of new technology, such as generative artificial intelligence. Inside the Invisible Cage also provides organizations, workers, and policymakers with insights on how to ensure the future of work has truly equitable, mutually beneficial outcomes.
