Dry-Fly Fishing is a specific style of fishing done with floating lines and flies that float, rather than typical lines and lures that sink. Most fish, particularly trouts, feed underwater, there is roughly 10% of their diet that consists of items found floating on the surface. This adds an interesting challenge for fishers, as well as a new experience to fishing. Some fishers prefer dry-fly fishing because it provides a new visual component to fishing and the catch. Adding more complexity to the experience is the development of lures to float attractively, and the process of drying the flies once they have been used is also complex. This reprint offers a look at past fishing methods and may be a source of inspiration to new and experienced fishers alike.

In 1971, corporate lawyer and future U.S. Supreme Court Justice Lewis Powell wrote a detailed memo that galvanized a small group of conservative philanthropists to create an organizational structure and fifty-year plan to alter the political landscape of the United States. Funded with significant “dark money,” the fruits of their labor are evident today in the current political context and sharp cultural divisions in society. Philanthropy, Hidden Strategy, and Collective Resistance examines the ideologies behind the philanthropic efforts in education from the 1970s until today. Authors examine specific strategies philanthropists have used to impact both educational policy and practice in the U.S. as well as the legal and policy context in which these initiatives have thrived. The book, aimed for a broad audience of educators, provides a depth of knowledge of philanthropic funding as well as specific strategies to incite collective resistance to the current context of hyperaccountability, privatization of schooling at all levels, and attempts to move the U.S. further away from a commitment to the collective good.
