Common Nymphs of Eastern North America

Although the concept of “matching the hatch” has been central to flyfishing for 150 years, it has been used almost exclusively for dry flyfishing. With Common Nymphs of Eastern North America: A Primer for Flyfishers and Flytiers, Caleb Tzilkowski and Jay Stauffer Jr. take trout enthusiasts in another hatch-matching direction—to the year-round underwater nymph “hatch,” which, in most cases, constitutes 90 percent of trout diets. Successful flyfishers have at least rudimentary knowledge of the organisms that artificial flies imitate. The relatively few and very best anglers are expert at identifying and imitating nymph appearances and habits. A major hurdle to becoming expert at nymph matching is overcoming two major limitations that make these animals difficult to locate, capture, and identify: first, nymphs live underwater, sometimes burrowed into the stream bottom, and second, many nymphs are nearly microscopic in size. Common Nymphs addresses those challenges by including habitat and life history information regarding the nymphs, tips for their identification, and representative high-resolution photographs of more than thirty types of aquatic organisms and their imitations.In the seemingly saturated flyfishing literature, this book offers something truly groundbreaking. With state-of-the-art microscopy and their years of scientific and practical experience, Tzilkowski and Stauffer provide readers an innovative close-up look at identifying and imitating nymphs that have been historically underrepresented in the flyfishing and flytying literature.
Polls indicate that many, if not most, Americans think that their religion should play some sort of role in the political arena. But are they misguided? When citizens allow their religious convictions to filter into the political sphere, are they acting as bad citizens? In a pluralistic democracy such as ours, what is the proper relationship between religion and politics? Religion and Democratic Citizenship critically examines a variety of proposals to address the question of whether and how religion should influence the activities of the American public square, from public deliberation to voting. These proposals commonly fall into two broad types of familiar strategies. On the one hand, mainstream liberal political theorists like John Rawls and others seek to keep religion and politics largely separate. On the other hand, pragmatists like William James, John Dewey, and Cornel West seek to reinterpret the meaning of religion itself so that it can be rendered compatible with democracy. Religion and Democratic Citizenship outlines the shortcomings of both of these strategies and aims to reframe the nature of the debate concerning the proper relationship between religion and politics by offering a useful framework for further discussion. Drawing influence from both Socrates and C. S. Peirce, the author proposes a model of the deliberative democracy designed to accommodate as many democratically predisposed citizens as possible, whether they are religious or not. In so doing, this book ultimately offers a strategy to accommodate religious participation in the activities of the democratic public square — a strategy that enables citizens to employ religious reasoning and meet the epistemic obligations of good deliberative democratic citizenship. Readers of this book will include researchers interested in Philosophy, Political Science, Law, Sociology, and Theology, as well as teachers, students, politicians, clergy, and concerned citizens.

Adorno, Politics, and the Aesthetic Animal
Caleb J. Basnett
University of Toronto Press

Built upon the principle that divides and elevates humans above other animals, humanism is the cornerstone of a worldview that sanctifies inequality and threatens all animal life. Adorno, Politics, and the Aesthetic Animal analyses this state of affairs and suggests an alternative – a way for humanity to make itself into a new kind of animal. Theodor W. Adorno has been accused of leading critical theory into a blind alley, divorced from practical social and political concerns. In Adorno, Politics, and the Aesthetic Animal, Caleb J. Basnett argues that by placing the problem of the human/animal distinction at the centre of Adorno’s thought, we discover a new Adorno, one whose critique of domination is in dialogue with classic concerns of political thought forged by Aristotle, including questions of humanist political education and the role of art. Through a close reading of primary sources, Basnett identifies the principal conceptual structure entwined with the understanding of human life as antagonistic to other animals, and outlines how forms of aesthetic experience disrupt this problematic concept in favour of a reconceptualization of what we call human. His analysis displaces the centrality of the human and attempts to open up a space for its transformation, both in terms of how humans relate to each other and in how humans relate to other animals.

Written by a 16 year old high school Junior, who has struggled with ADHD/ADD and other issues throughout his life, Caleb Sessions has been compared to a modern day "Dear Abby" offering his honest, unique, creative and out-of-the-box insight on helping parents and teens bridge their communication gap, shedding the light on what it's like being a teen in the 21st century today and hoping to create a world full of Well-Rounded Teens. After losing his Dad at 12 years old, being raised by a single mom, undergoing heart surgery and always on creating ways to overcome his unique challenges, he is now the Author of "7 Days to Understanding Your Teen", Founder of CalebsWord.com (a Teenage Modern Day "Dear Abby" advice site bridging the communication gap between parents and teens), President of his company called The Well Rounded Teen and even now, a speaker throughout his community at just 16 years old. This young man has experienced quite a few challenges and obstacles and has been able to overcome them by learning how to keep his head on straight, identifying his values and gifts and taking action to reach his goals. Caleb has experienced quite a few transition points in his life many teens seem to hit and become derailed or unraveled. His advice site and this book offer advice on communicating and working through issues such as: - Being Raised By a Single Parent who worked full time - Going through parents who divorced - Having a parent die and dealing with that grief plus the loss of others very near and dear to him - Moving to different states, different homes, new schools and learning how to "start over" - Being hospitalized and having heart surgery - Learning how to make new friends and fit in - Weight issues and developing a Healthy and Fit Lifestyle - Dating and relationships - Coping with ADHD/ADD and other Learning Issues - Dealing with a parent who has ADHD - Dealing with Step Parents - Peer pressure, drugs/alcohol - Struggling with grades and getting into college - And Much more... This book will give provide answers to those pressing questions parents have such as: - Why do teens think they know everything and how can I approach my teenager and ask questions where they won't get so defensive? - Why does my teenager not seem to care or understand that good grades are important? - How can I create a win-win compromise with my teen when trying to solve a problem? - Why does my teenager argue with everything I say? - What really goes on today with the average teenager on Friday/Saturday night? - Why did my teenager start lying to me when they became a teenager? - How can I get my teenager to smile or even talk to me? - What are some things that I can do to help boost my teenager's self-confidence or find out what motivates them? - What are some things that I can do to help my teenager find out what their real interests, talents and strengths are? - How can I be a cool parent/friend to my teen without losing my position of authority or respect as the parent? While searching for his "purpose" as all teens do, Caleb mom, Shelley Mitchell - also a Business Coach specializing in ADHD/ADD, took him to a weekend entrepreneurship workshop (3 Days To Cash/ by Loral Langemeier) where Caleb caught his vision realizing over the years he had become the "go-to-guy" for advice amongst his friends, peers and even adults/parents. He saw he could now use that to be able to help others through his experiences and help create a world of well-rounded teens by building stronger relationships between parents and teens. Caleb's goal is to inspire teens and parents alike to have open, fun, healthy relationships that create "win-win" results for everyone and to also know that no matter how big the road blocks are that you may encounter, there is always a way to get over them. You can do anything it is you truly want to do if you work hard, stay true to your values and surround yourself with positive
