Charles Fish
Charles Fish to moja najukochańsza postać. Neurotyk, szaleniec pragnący doswiadczać życia w jego najróżniejszych formach. Ogarnięty obsesją dostania się szczyt - wyimaginowanego miejsca, gdzie ostatecznie mógłby poczuć się szczęśliwym czowiekiem - po drodze upada częściej, aniżeli powstaje. Bywalec zakładów psychiatrycznych, lekoman i alkoholik, chciałby żyć przyzwoicie, tak jak inni, jednocześnie jednak czuje pociąg do ekstremalnych emocje i ich przeżywanie w sposób, który niejednokrotnie doprowadza jego psychikę do stanu skrajnego wyczerpania. Charles Fish to potencjalny samobójca. Kiedy nie chce się zabić, to chce żyć. A jak już żyje, to na maksa. Poza...

The End Of The Line
We have reached a pivotal moment for fishing, with seventy-five percent of the world's fish stocks either fully exploited or overfished. If nothing is done to stop the squandering of fish stocks the life of the oceans will face collapse and millions of people could starve. Fish is the aspirational food for Western society, the healthy, weight-conscious choice, but those who eat and celebrate fish often ignore the fact that the fishing industry, although as technologically advanced as space travel, has an attitude to conservation 10,000 years out of date. Trawling on an industrial scale in the North Sea takes 16 lbs of dead marine animals to produce just 1lb of sole. Regulation isn't working, fishermen must cheat or lose money, dolphins and other wildlife (seabirds, turtles, sharks) are killed unnecessarily and fish stocks are collapsing despite the warnings. The End of the Line looks at the problem and proves that we, as consumers, have to change if the situation is to improve.
Design of Fishways and Other Fish Facilities
This new edition of the best-selling book describes the main types of fishways and fish facilities used around the world to assist the passage of fish over dams and other obstructions to their migration. It also focuses on the protection of fish (mainly young fish) from the hazards encountered in their downstream migrations. The book brings together the type of knowledge and research needed to decide on the facility used as well as its design and operation. It emphasizes the need for both biologists and engineers to collaborate in the design and indicates in what fields such collaboration would benefit fisheries conservation in the future. This is the Second Edition of the only book to bring together all of these topics worldwide under one cover.
Sustainable Fishery Systems
This book provides a comprehensive attempt to adopt an 'integrated' interdisciplinary approach to the study of fisheries. Fisheries are discussed as holistic 'systems', with emphasis on their structure, operation and dynamics. The book's interdisciplinary approach is applied to an analysis of problems faced in pursuing 'sustainable fisheries', with emphasis on six dominant themes: sustainability, uncertainty, complexity, conflict, fishing rights and the nature of management. Within this discussion, several major directions in current fishery thinking are explored, notably the precautionary approach, the ecosystem approach, co-management, and robust management for resilient fisheries.
