Essential Stonefly Knowledge, Buy This Title Why You Still Can
Dated but essential observation on many stonefly species.I bought this book in the early nineties and still reference it.Easy to read.Explains what water stoneflies like.Why they like it.When they leave these areas (time to fish).And why they travel underwater to different locations.Etc, etc........

So many flyfishing books are long, boring, drawn-out ego trips to the author.This is not one of these books.

Set the hook,

Will enhance your understanding of geography
The importance of scale and its implications in any field that has a geographic component are clearly portrayed here. This is a book that explains why it is important to consider the different concepts behind scale. This is very crucial since use of GIS and spatial data are becoming so widespread among specialists (geographers and non-geographers) and the general public. At the end it will provide you with lots of examples about how spatial thinking is such an important process in our everyday life.

Product Description
Silver has been a cherished heirloom and gift for centuries. Historians claim that by 3100 B.C. ambassadors to the Egyptian king from Crete brought silver vases as gifts. Today, sterling silver is a favorite medium for creative and innovative designers because it is soft and malleable and can be shaped into any form. The mystical white metal has marked historical milestones throughout the ages, served as a medium of exchange and become an essential metal in today's world of high-tech consumer goods. Silver's main asset is the diversity of its uses. Its unique properties include beauty, strength, sensitivity to light, malleability and ductility, electrical and thermal conductivity, reflectivity and the ability to endure extreme temperature changes. These properties allow scientists and engineers around the world to undertake groundbreaking research that changes the way we live.~This generously illustrated volume presents almost 200 beautiful and rare pieces of utilitarian silver from the art nouveau and art deco period, selected from a private silver collection. Both experts in silverware from this period and fans of art nouveau and art deco will be surprised by the number of splendid pieces from this collection. It brings together objects by various renowned silversmiths, including Christopher Dresser, Charles Robert Ashbee, Omar Ramsden and Alwin Carr, and Edward Spencer, Henry Wilson and Paul Cooper.

The color photographs of the objects are accompanied by extensive captions, monograms and hallmarks, providing substantial new information. In addition, A Personal Touch includes essays by silver specialists: Eric Turner, of the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, examines reforms in the work of English silversmiths and describes the pieces in this collection that illustrate these developments.
