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.

Gorgeous masterpieces of stained glass by Brian Clarke, the medium's leading exponent today Over the past five decades, British artist Brian Clarke (born 1953) has consistently pushed the boundaries of stained glass as a medium, both in terms of technology and visual vocabulary. With major installation projects all over the world to his name, Clarke has contributed significant artistic and technical breakthroughs to this thousand-year-old medium. His facility with the medium displays his appreciation of the long history of stained-glass, from gothic decoration to the turn-of-the-century innovations of Tiffany glass. The Art of Light is a testament to Clarke's belief that stained glass has an authority and potential to deal with every human condition. This book contains 250 illustrations that present the depth and range of Clarke's work, with an introduction by architect and sometime collaborator Norman Foster, and an essay by the director of the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, Paul Greenhalgh.

The "Heinemann Plays" series offers contemporary drama and classic plays in durable classroom editions. This play (also a feature film) is about the struggle of the central character, completely paralysed for life, for the right to die.

Ken Harrison has been so severely injured in a car crash that he is totally paralysed; only his brain functions normally. He is being kept alive by the miracles of medicine, but wishes to die. This he could achieve by discharging himself from hospital but being wholly helpless has to gain the authorities' consent. The play examines the moral and legal aspects of the situation and the reactions of the hospital staff.

Music from 1804. Action set in 1988. A new opera (in English).

As Nutank's children continue their legacy of personal liberty, the country is in the throes of its own Pathway to Liberty. Set against the backdrop of the American Revolution, Nutank faces his own struggles between accepting his children's opposing decisions regarding their involvement in the conflict and his personal belief that war only destroys lives, yet settles little.
On a peaceful April morning in Vermont, while the pleasing sound of the loon's call was being heard across the placid waters of Lake Memphremagog, musket fire was shattering the morning's calm to the south on the village green at Lexington, Massachusetts. These first shots of the American Revolution were ushering in a new nation. But the birthing process would prove for many to be exceptionally long and exceedingly painful. The story begun in Abenaki Autumn continues as Nutank's family navigates the many different pathways to liberty confronting each of them.

Additionally, it presents a series of scientific experiments whose overall aim was to characterize the adaptations in the neurologic and skeletal muscle properties, and determine their relative contribution in the disuse-induced muscle weakness.

"Were I in my village tonight, I would hear the wind moving through the trees. I think maybe I might hear also a child laugh somewhere within a neighbor's lodge. Here I hear music coming from the large stone house, but I do not hear the wind working its way through these trees. Torches and candles burn everywhere as if to turn night into day, but your people do not gather around the flames. Your fires are only lit to provide light, and the brightness of this light drives away the peoples' view of the stars from your night sky. Then while I wonder at why you would do this, you shoot make-believe stars and thunder up into the sky. When I breathe I cannot smell the earth of your land. All this is so, so different for me."
"Did my father run along the pathway leading north from our village?
Did he search for sign possibly left by my moccasins as I passed that way? It has been so long, so long. What has he told my mother that could comfort her in her agony and worry? Do my parents hear me when the wind blows and the trees sway? Do they look in the new fallen snow for my footprints?"
