Harpercollins Pub, Ltd.

A lifetime’s fishing experiences written by one of the UK’s leading fly fishermen.
Brian Clarke is one of Britain's best-known fly-fishermen – and one of the world's most widely-read angling authors. His monthly column for ‘The Times’ has become an institution. His widely-ranging, penetrating and often provocative articles for that newspaper and for ‘The Sunday Times’ have been required reading for serious fishermen for over 30 years.
This collection of 71 articles and new essays distils the author's lifetime experience. The ground he covers is immense: fish and how they behave, tackle and how to choose and use it, flyfishing tactics and strategies, angling history and literature, issues and personalities, environmental threats and the future. The whole book carries the authority of Brian's pioneering work in the sport – and of his groundbreaking studies of trout behaviour, especially. It is informative, thought-provoking, entertaining and beautifully written. ‘On Fishing’ will help anyone who fishes for anything to understand more, to think more and to catch more. It will draw even non-anglers down into the world under water – and to the fascinations that fishermen find there.

Architectural Stained Glass is unique. Not merely a history of the art, this work emphasizes stained glass as a constructivist art form, making it exceptionally useful for architects. For the first time, the medium is taken out of its medieval ecclesiastical context, and put into a contemporary framework, both secular and architectonic. In chronicling what has been done by the post-War school of contemporary artists, the book crusades to liberate the medium from its position of minor historical art. As these artists show through their stunning designs, their innovations remain unsurpassed in the history of stained glass. The contributors to the books are some of the foremost artists, critics, and scholars in the field of stained glass. Johannes Schreiter, artist and professor of fine art in Frankfurt, was one of the first to explore the use of lead as a "graphic and autonomous theme." Martin Harrison, author of several art history books, acted as Di¬rector of the Glass/Light Exhibition at the Festival of the City of London, and is currently curator of the Ely Cathedral's Stained Glass Museum. Besides having written numerous articles on the subject, Robert Sowers is the author of Stained Glass: Lost Art. John Piper, the painter, has had many one-man shows, and his work is represented in most of the major collections throughout the world. His architectural stained glass can be seen in buildings throughout the U.K. and elsewhere. Patrick Reyntiens, author of the definitive text on the craft, The Technique of Stained Glass, is currently serving as advisor to the Decoration of Westminster Cathedral and Brompton Oratory. He is the head of the Department of Fine Art of the Central School of Art in London and a member of the Court of the Royal College of Art. Marcel Coulon-Rigaud, the well known European art critic, writes regularly for the magazine, Glasforum. These renowned figures provide fascinating reading for the professional, academician, and layman alike.

The Trout and the Fly has been acknowledged as one of the most important books on fly fishing to appear in this century. It takes further than any book before it our understanding of the world of the trout and the way that the angler, his fly, his tackle and his behavior appear to the fish under water. 
The book is the result of years of work by two of Britain's most respected and widely-read angling writers, supported by help from university scientists in several fields. The pictures contained in it have been selected from thousands of the authors' own photographs taken from above and below the surface. The test has been informed by high-speed film viewed frame by frame to reveal the detail of events that happen too quickly for the human eye to register. 
Within this remarkable book are clear understandings for both the river and stillwater angler of: the way a trout sees (and the implications for the flyfisher of its excellent color vision); the way natural and artificial flies appear to the trout (one result of which is a series of fly patterns designed to mimic the way natural flies look from below the surface); the way that lines and leaders of different colors look from underwater - and the implications for tackle choice; the clues which fish give to their feeding behavior and how the angler can interpret them. All this information, and much more, is available in this attractive volume, which includes a new introduction and a postscript added a year after first publication, reporting observations not available in the original text. (81/2 X 103/4, 196 pages, color photos, b&amp;w photos, diagrams)

This new addition to the series introduces the reader to the techniques of chromatography. Enough of the underlying theory is explained to make the techniques understandable to the beginner. The text covers methods and practice which are common to all forms of chromatography. The first three sections give the underlying principles of chromatographic separation and discuss those factors which affect the quality of the results. The fourth section covers the use of chromatography in qualitative and quantitative analysis. The final section deals with the practical aspects of classical liquid chromatography. Contains many examples and problems.

"The Pursuit of Stillwater Trout" - first published in 1975 and since reprinted and translated many times - is one of the acknowledged classics of modern angling literature. It had a profound influence on the development of flyfishing on lakes. Its author's advocacy of an approach based on observation and concentration - on floating lines, long leaders and small nymphs appropriately fished - offered anglers a completely thought-out and highly effective alternative to lure-fishing, at a time when lure-fishing looked set to dominate the stillwater scene. In this remarkable work, reprinted in its full original form and introduced by a new foreword, Brian Clarke sets out the step-by-step thought processes which enabled him to increase his catch-rate by several hundred per cent in just a couple of seasons. He provides unique photographs of the most important rise-forms trout make and shows how each kind of rise can be analysed to show what natural the fish has probably taken - and so what artificial might give the best chance of success. He gives the first detailed analysis of variations in the take to the nymph. And much more. But there is not simply information here. Brian Clarke is a writer as well as a fly-fisherman and his descriptions of the capture of some of the key fish in his life have all the excitement of a thriller.
