A Different Angle
"The literature of fly fishing offers great tales of adventure as well as stories of renewal and discovery. Yet very little of it has been written by women--until now. A Different Angle presents a new look at the growing popularity of fly fishing among women through the writing of contemporary women anglers, from Pulitzer prize-winning author E. Annie Proulx to fly casting champion Joan Salvato Wulff. Whether exploring the sensual and spiritual pleasures of casting a line or the realities of being female in a predominately male sport, the women in this collection write with humor and eloquence about the sport they love. By turns lyrical, witty, and impassioned, these stories add a new dimension to the sport, literature, and art of fly fishing"--Book cover.

Haunted by Waters
Four essential questions: Why does one fish? How should one properly fish? What relations are created in fishing? And what effects does fishing have on the future? Haunted by Waters is a self-examination by the author as he constructs his own narrative and tries to answer these questions for himself. But it is also a thorough examination of the answers he uncovers in the course of reading what's been written on the subject. As his own story unfolds, Mark Browning analyzes angling literature from the Bible to Norman Maclean, always bringing his inquiry back to the same source: the enigma of this sport. Haunted by Waters is an exploration of the apparent compulsion of those who fish not only to read about the sport, but to write about it as well. Mark Browning's personal account as a fly fisherman and his perspective as a critic make him uniquely qualified to navigate these waters.

American Diva: Extraordinary, Unruly, Fabulous
An impassioned homage to the divas who shake up our world and transform it with their bold, dazzling artistry. What does it mean to be a “diva”? A shifting, increasingly loaded term, it has been used to both deride and celebrate charismatic and unapologetically fierce performers like Aretha Franklin, Divine, and the women of Labelle. In this brilliant, powerful blend of incisive criticism and electric memoir, Deborah Paredez—scholar, cultural critic, and lifelong diva devotee—unravels our enduring fascination with these icons and explores how divas have challenged American ideas about feminism, performance, and freedom.

Reading for Understanding
"As elegantly practical as it is theoretically elegant. It is a guided tour, as one examines the tools of expert teachers as they engage students in a journey that is aptly dubbed Reading Apprenticeship?learning how to become a savvy, strategic reader under the tutelage of thoughtful, caring, and demanding teachers.? P. David Pearson, University of California, Berkeley, and founding editor of the Handbook of Reading Research. Reading for Understanding is a monumental achievement.
