      Even Brook Trout Get The Blues

      By
      Brilliant, witty, perceptive essays about fly-fishing, the natural world, and life in general by the acknowledged master of fishing writers.

      "Once an angler has become serious about the sport (and 'serious' is the word that's used), he'll never again have enough tackle or enough time to use it. And his nonangling friends and family may never again entirely recognize him, either." In other words, he (or she) will have entered Gierach territory. And fishermen who choose to brave the crowds at the big hold, commune with the buddies at the "family pool," or even wade into questionable waters in the dark of night are sure to recognize themselves in Even Brook Trout Get the Blues.

      Whether debating bamboo versus graphite rods, describing the pleasure of fishing in pocket waters or during a spring snow in the mountains, or recounting a trip in pursuit of the "fascinatingly ugly" longnose gar, Gierach understands that fly-fishing is more than a sport. It's a way of life in which patience is (mostly) rewarded, the rhythms of the natural world are appreciated, and the search for the perfect rod or ideal stream is never ending. It is not a life without risks, for as Gierach warns: "This perspective on things can change you irreparably. If it comes to you early enough in life, it can save you from ever becoming what they call 'normal.'" Even Brook Trout Get the Blues will convince you that "normal" is greatly overrated.

      Ideal book for a novice in web design

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      I am not new to programming but I was sure new to the field of web design. Looking for a book that would clearly explain the fundamentals of HTML and an introduction to XML was hard to find but I must say that this book was well worth the time invested to look for that kind of book. This book clearly explains the basic html tags and Cascading Style Sheets with examples that are trivial to follow. After going thru more than...

      Well explained, quickly assimilated

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      After designing a seven page read-only web site with Netscape Composer (which generates HTML source code) I found that potential Web hosts tended to become twitchy at the prospect of Composer's "inelegant code". Their concern is that not only would the code not be XHTML compliant (the standard for the future that is being implemented now), but that some of the code simply would not run on some browsers.Swoon... I needed a...

      This book is exactly what a beginner needs!!

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      I must admit that when I decided to embark upon my adventures in web programming I was overwhelmed by the shear number of books on the topic of HTML & XML. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the style and approach of this book. Michael Morrison covers HTML, DHTML, XHTML, XML and CSS. But the book isn't limited to simply programming language, it also emphasizes the importance of style, content, appearance and special...

      A great place to start.

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      If you happen to want to get into the world of web design you need to know HTML, however if you want to progress further you also need to know XML. So if you don't know either you can spend serious money on several starter books or try this one and save time, money and your sanity. What I learned from this book was a great deal of information I had never seen before. The author simple approach, yet abundance of information...
