Sinossi

The Silver Invicta is a stream of impressions from a fishing life, in its varying moods, colored with plenty of whisky and eccentric company. Join Tom Harland on his light-hearted journeys with his fly rod; take part in his triumphs and disasters on rough, wild camping trips and share his encounters with the wildlife of Scotland’s rivers and lochs.  The ‘Silver Invicta’ was the traditional fly which was taken by Tom’s first salmon and is also a nod to the spirit of Scotland’s embattled migratory fish. Tom has fished throughout his local Scottish Borders, England, the Western Isles and New Zealand (a country he lived and worked in for two years), but his real passion is for the brown trout of the hill lochs of Assynt in the North-west Highlands.  Open this treasure trove of a book to share the pleasure the author finds through fishing respectfully in magical, wild, and seldom-visited places.

    Ancient Egypt, renowned for its monumental architecture and sophisticated culture, was also a hub of intellectual and scientific advancements. At the heart of Egyptian knowledge was a unique blend of practical experience, religious beliefs, and cultural traditions. Understanding the foundations of their knowledge requires examining the interplay between mythology, early scientific thought, and the ways this knowledge was transmitted through generations. 
    The role of religion and mythology in ancient Egypt cannot be overstated. Egyptian cosmology deeply influenced how people understood the world around them. Deities associated with creation, the afterlife, and natural phenomena shaped the Egyptians' perception of science and technology. For example, the god Thoth was believed to be the deity of wisdom, writing, and mathematics, and his influence permeated educational practices. Priests and scribes, who were often part of temple schools, acted as custodians of this sacred knowledge. Their training combined religious teachings with practical subjects like astronomy, mathematics, and medicine. 
    Early scientific thought in ancient Egypt was pragmatic rather than theoretical. Egyptians were skilled observers, and much of their knowledge arose from practical problem-solving. Whether it was calculating the Nile's flooding patterns or designing complex irrigation systems, their science emerged from the need to manage everyday challenges. For instance, their understanding of geometry developed out of the necessity to remeasure fields after the annual inundation of the Nile. Similarly, medical practices were rooted in practical observations of ailments and their treatments, blending empirical knowledge with spiritual beliefs.

    In an age where every destination is pinned, reviewed, and photographed, what does it mean to truly get lost? 
    In The Art of Getting Lost, acclaimed travel writer Reece Davis invites readers to step off the grid and wander into the unknown — not to escape, but to rediscover the joy of uncertainty. Through journeys across hidden trails, unmarked villages, and moments of profound stillness, Davis explores how losing our way can bring us closer to the world, and to ourselves. 
    Part memoir, part meditation, this book celebrates the beauty of disorientation — the quiet thrill of discovery when plans unravel, maps blur, and wonder takes the lead. 
    Wise, lyrical, and deeply human, The Art of Getting Lost reminds us that sometimes the greatest adventures begin the moment we stop knowing where we are.
