Tying and rigging lines and leaders Boat-handling tips and
approaching and feeding fish From setting the hook to fighting and
landing the fish quickly and safely Artist and ardent angler Bill
Bishop tackles all aspects of tarpon fishing--from building leaders
to bringing them in quickly. Each chapter explores the core aspects
of tarpon fishing in detail, including step-by-step instructions
for tying IGFA leaders, the nuances of finding, casting to,
hooking, and fighting giant tarpon, and insights and tips for
running the boat, seeing fish, and reading the fish's behavior. In
addition to the technical aspects, Bishop's stories and humor take
a look at the personal side of fishing, reminding us that despite
the sometimes-serious undertaking of battling a 150-pound tarpon,
fishing is still supposed to be fun. With more than 140 detailed
pen-and-ink illustrations and photos by Mark Hatter, this book will
help anyone who wants to hook, and land, more silver kings.
Survive and thrive in a world being taken over by robots and other
advanced technology. Artificial intelligence, machine learning,
algorithms, blockchains, the Internet of Things, big data
analytics, 5G networks, self-driving cars, robotics, 3D printing.
In the coming years, these technologies, and others to follow, will
have a profound and dramatically disruptive impact on how we work
and live. Whether we like it or not, we need to develop a good
working relationship with these technologies. We need to know how
to "dance" with robots. In Dancing with Robots, futurist,
entrepreneur, and innovation coach Bill Bishop describes 29
strategies for success in the New Economy. These new strategies
represent a bold, exciting, unexpected, and radically different
road map for future success. Bishop also explains how our Five
Human Superpowers -- embodied pattern recognition, unbridled
curiosity, purpose-driven ideation, ethical framing, and metaphoric
communication -- give us a competitive edge over robots and other
advanced technology in a world being taken over by automation and
AI.
Travel the globe with Lefty Kreh as he shares his most memorable
fishing trips - his best cast ever for tarpon, twin Atlantic salmon
on two successive casts that both weighted an amazing 37 pounds,
Niugini black bass so strong you have to pull them from the brush
with a boat, 'machine-gun' bass-bugging for machaca on the Rio
Colorado, and, of course, the one that got away. Though not all
these tales are about great catches, there is plenty of adventure
as Kreh tell about the time he and his boatmates thwarted bandits
in Costa Rica on a sailfish trip or the time he was chased from a
prime bluegill pond by dogs. But whether about the best trips or
the worst ones, reeling in a trophy fish or fly fishing for the
bait, these stories show a man with a deep passion for fishing, and
perhaps more important, the friendships and discovery that often
accompany it.

In 2004, journalist Bill Bishop coined the term "the big sort."
Armed with startling new demographic data, he made national news in
a series of articles showing how Americans have been sorting
themselves into alarmingly homogeneous communities -- not by region
or by state, but by city and even neighborhood. Over the past three
decades, we have been choosing the neighborhood (and church and
news show) compatible with our lifestyle and beliefs. The result is
a country that has become so polarized, so ideologically inbred
that people don't know and can't understand those who live a few
miles away. How this came to be, and its dire implications for our
country, is the subject of this ground-breaking work.
In The Big Sort, Bishop has taken his analysis to a new level. He
begins with stories about how we live today and then draws on
history, economics and our changing political landscape to create
one of the most compelling big-picture accounts of America in
recent memory.
