The catching of fish, said the Sage of Chocoloskee, is but an incident in fishing. He told the frozen truth. To be out in the open where fish are; to watch them at their great business of living; to see them in the water or out of the water; to fish for them, and even to hook them and have them get away-all this is wonderfully worthwhile-wonderfully better worthwhile than merely to catch and keep the stiffening fading body of one of the most beautiful forms of life. Gifford Pinchot, twice governor of Pennsylvania and America's premier fisherman presents twenty-three personal experiences in story form. From the mountain streams of Pennsylvania to the scented isles of the South Seas, the author weaves a magic web of angling enchantment. Just Fishing Talk is ideal armchair entertainment for every man or woman who loves the outdoors. If you are one of those who revel in the tang of salt spray or the fragrance of mountain pin and fern--if you can think of no thrill greater than the swift surge of a hooked fish--you will treasure this book.

liT raumer, die handeln" Warum sollte irgendjemand sich dafiir entscheiden, Intrapreneur zu werden, wenn er genauso gut Entrepreneur werden konnte? Diese Frage stellte ich mir zum ersten Mal im Jahr 1978 bei einem Seminar in Bob Schwartz' School for Entrepreneure in Tarrytown, New York. Von den vier groBen Moglichkeiten fiir Entrepreneure, die Bob erwahnte, erschien mir eine als Widerspruch in sich selbst und erregte meine besondere Aufmerksamkeit. Bob zitierte seinen Freund Norman Macrae, der 1976 im Londoner Economist geschrieben hatte: "Erjolgreiche Grofiunternehmen sollten sich zu, Bundnissen von Ent repreneuren' entwickeln." 1 Bob meinte damals, daB Entrepreneure auch innerhalb von GroBunternehmen gewaltige Chancen haben konnten, wenn es geHinge, dafiir ein praktikables Modell zu finden. Die Aufgabenstellung war verlockend: Der unabhangige Entrepreneur und der "Mann innerhalb der Organisation" erschienen als unverein barer Widerspruch, zumindest bis Bob einige der My then iiber die Personlichkeit und die Motivationen von Entrepreneuren aus der Welt riiumte. Diese neue Perspektive gab mir erste Anhaltspunkte daflir, wie etablierte Unternehmen den Mitarbeitern einen Platz schaffen wiirden, die ich spiiter als "Intrapreneure" bezeichnete. Vom Stand punkt eines Unternehmens sind die Vorteile, Intrapreneure zu haben, offenkundig: Intrapreneure sorgen flir die Einflihrung und Herstellung neuer Produkte, Verfahren und Dienstleistungen, die es wiederum dem Unternehmen ermoglichen, als Ganzes zu wachsen und Gewinne zu erwirtschaften."

The founding chief of the U.S. Forest Service and twice governor of Pennsylvania, Gifford Pinchot was central to the early twentieth-century conservation movement in the United States and the political history and evolution of the Keystone State. This collection of Pinchot’s essays, articles, and letters reveals a gifted public figure whose work and thoughts on the environment, politics, society, and science remain startlingly relevant today. A learned man and admirably accessible writer, Pinchot showed keen insight on issues as wide-ranging as the rights of women and minorities, war, education, Prohibition, agricultural policy, land use, and the craft of politics. He developed galvanizing arguments against the unregulated exploitation of natural resources, made a clear case for thinking globally but acting locally, railed at the pernicious impact of corporate power on democratic life, and firmly believed that governments were obligated to enhance public health, increase economic opportunity, and sustain the land. Pinchot’s policy accomplishments—including the first clean-water legislation in Pennsylvania and the nation—speak to his effectiveness as a communicator and a politician. His observations on environmental issues were exceptionally prescient, as they anticipated the dilemmas currently confronting those who shape environmental public policy. Introduced and annotated by environmental historian Char Miller, this is the only comprehensive collection of Pinchot’s writings. Those interested in the history of conservation, the Gilded Age and Progressive Era, American politics, and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania will find this book invaluable.
