Summary

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. Let it take you on a journey where you will discover the fascinating world of fishing from a whole new angle. It's more than just a hobby; it's a passion that unites generations and cultures. It is the art of fishing - in all its splendor and curiosity.

    "A must-read for anyone who loves Kruger and adventure." - Tony Park 
WALKING WILD is not your typical safari - no game drives, no cool sundowners and definitely no fences. Instead, it's 605 km of dust, sweat and unforgettable moments as an unlikely group of strangers sets out to walk the entire length of Kruger National Park. Over six stages and three years, they walked from Crooks' Corner in the far north to Malelane in the south, averaging 20 km a day with heavy backpacks and only the wild for company. 
Led by two armed guides, they braved blistering heat and violent storms. At night, as hyenas nosed their tents and lionesses strolled right through camp, some slept soundly - others lay wide eyed, waiting for dawn. They drank from murky trickles in dry riverbeds, navigated thick riverine bush teeming with hippo, buffalo and crocodiles, and slowly learnt to read the bush - from the smallest antlion to the distant roar of a lion. 
But Kruger's wilderness is not without its challenges. Poachers - both criminal syndicates and those in search of bushmeat - move in the shadows, rivers bring pollution from beyond its borders, and conservation battles rage on. WALKING WILD captures the magic and the madness of life on foot in one of the world's most iconic national parks. It's a story of adventure, camaraderie and deep immersion in the wild - a journey that leaves no one unchanged. 
WALKING WILD is a testament to resilience, discovery and the deep connection between people and nature. If you've ever dreamt of experiencing Kruger beyond the safari vehicle, this book is your ticket to the trail.

    BRAINSPOTTING - Adventures in...

    As a trainee doctor, Andrew Lees was enthralled by his mentors: esteemed neurologists who combined the precision of mathematicians, the scrupulosity of entomologists and the solemnity of undertakers in their diagnoses and treatments. For them, there was no such thing as an unexplained symptom or psychosomatic problem – no difficult cases, only interesting ones – and it was only a matter of time before all disorders of the brain would be understood in terms of anatomical electrical and chemical connections.
Today, this kind of 'holistic neurology' is on the brink of extinction as a slavish adherence to protocols and algorithms – plus a worship of machines – runs the risk of destroying the key foundational clinical skills of listening, observation and imagination that have been at the heart of the discipline for over 150 years. In this series of brilliant, insightful and autobiographical essays, Andrew Lees takes us on a kind of Sherlock Holmes tour of neurology, giving the reader insight into – and defending – the deep analytical tools that the best neurologists still rely on to diagnose patients: to heal minds and to fix brains.
