Lady luck smiles upon anglers who use the right flies, fish them in the right places at the right times, and make them behave like the natural insects they are meant to represent. But with such a vast range of fly patterns and sizes available, how do you choose? This completely revised and updated pocket edition provides the answer. Remarkable macro-photography of the aquatic creatures on which trout feed (now enlarged photographs in this pocket edition), an author with 65 years of flyfishing experience, a selection of the world's best fly patterns - these are the ingredients of this invaluable source of practical information. Many of the top experts on flyfishing and flytying agreed to tie flies for Matching the Hatch; in most instances the flies illustrated are their own designs which have now become standard patterns used throughout the world - Jon Beer, Brian Clarke, Alice Conba, Donald Downs, Peter Gathercole, Malcolm Greenhalgh, Melvin Grey, Derek Hoskin, Nigel Jackson, Charles Jardine, Steffan Jones, Peter Masters, Guy Mawle, Peter O'Reilly, Steve Parton, Neil Patterson, John Riegen, Andrew Ryan, Bernard Venables, Conrad Voss Bark, John Wilshaw and Davy Wotton. Trout and the creatures they feed on have not changed, although entomological science has renamed some species. In this revised and updated pocket edition the author has adopted nomenclature used by the Natural History Museum and by colleagues in the Riverfly Partnership. Simply an outstanding reference book - a must for all fishermen.

Here are all three suspenseful mysteries in one book Forevermore, the first mystery, was a #2 bestseller in Amazon's Historical Mystery category. It has received outstanding reviews from readers, and it establishes Pat O'Malley as a detective sleuth par excellence. It also won the First Place Blue Ribbon in the Chanticleer International Book Awards for Best Historical Mystery.The second mystery, Disappearance at Mount Sinai, continues the development of the characters amidst an excellent caper. The third mystery, Jane the Grabber, plunges O'Malley into the middle of the Steampunk world, and it marks a turning point in the novels to come. Forevermore Synopsis: "Musgrave mixes accurate history with a spell-binding plot to create an amazing who-done-it Watch for more Pat O'Malley Mysteries." In post Civil War New York City, Detective Pat O'Malley is living inside Poe's Cottage in the Bronx. O'Malley is haunted by Poe one night, and the detective finds a strange note. As a result, O'Malley decides to prove that Edgar Allan Poe did not die in Baltimore from an alcoholic binge but was, instead, murdered. O'Malley quickly becomes embroiled in a "cold case" that thrusts him into the lair of one of the most sinister and ruthless killers in 1865 New York City. Jim Musgrave's "Forevermore" is a quick read in four acts that will keep your mind razor sharp trying to solve the mystery of Poe's murder. Pat O'Malley must first find out how to become intimate with females before he can discover the final clue in this puzzle of wits, murder and romance. Disappearance at Mount Sinai Synopsis: What if the anti-Semites, racists, and terrorists wanted the final revenge following the Civil War? How do you stop them from committing the worst atrocity? It's 1866 in New York City. Civil War Vet and Detective Pat O'Malley's biggest case returns him to the deep, dark South to search for the kidnapped wealthiest inventor and entrepreneur in America. But the widening gyre of anti-Semitism and racism pulls him down into the pit of hell itself. Disguised as an Oxford England Professor, O'Malley infiltrates the anti-Semites' group and travels with his partners, Becky Charming and his father, Robert, down to a Collierville, Tennessee mansion. At the crux of this case are a Jewish father and his five-year-old son, Seth. They have developed a unique bond that relies on Jewish folklore and a belief that they are Mazikeen, half-angel and half-human, born from the loins of Adam's strange female cohorts during the 130 years he was banished from the Garden. Will O'Malley find Dr. Mergenthaler before it's too late? What does this world-wide eugenics group have planned for the mongrel races? Jane the Grabber Synopsis: What was it like before women were given rights to determine their own destinies? How was abortion and birth control used in the 1860s? What happens to a society when the last sexual taboo is permitted?

Readers who like mystery thrillers and like to follow action characters like Jason Bourne, Mitch Rapp, and Jack Reacher through many novels, will enjoy following retired legendary covert operative, Pat O'Sheen, and his loving family through this perilous journey. The Hologram Destruction is a stand-alone novel, but is the third of the hologram trilogy. Several sequels and prequels not related to the holograms (already written) will follow. Pat O'Sheen is a religious man whose devotion to his wife and high-school sweetheart, Dale, and their three kids is top priority along with God and Country. He retired from army special forces with unique talents and a passion to protect American soldiers. Pat had never told Dale the details of the violence in his top-secret, covert career. A CNN van drives into O'Sheen's private cul-de-sac and declares to the world that Pat is an unsung American hero while claiming that he is responsible for the sudden decrease in deaths of American soldiers in Afghanistan. CNN reports that a source in German intelligence credits O'Sheen for destroying a rogue top-secret weapons factory in what was once East Berlin, and that the U. S. government denied any involvement in the operation. The report infuriates Dale and the American congress. The German ambassador in D.C. demands an investigation. Pat avoids a subpoena from congress by flying to Europe with his son to investigate the German source and is drawn back into the ongoing hologram conspiracy.

Steam City Pirates: A Pat O'Malley Steampunk Mystery

Steam City Pirates: A Pat O'Malley Steampunk Mystery

Like Alice's rabbit, a strange "mechanical-like man" leads 1869 New York Detective Pat O'Malley down into the world of steam power. A group from the future calling itself the World Scientific Advancement Society for Progress is living secretly beneath Central Park. These pirates are inventors whose only goal is to keep the Earth in the Steam Age in order to save it from a future nuclear holocaust. Five alien assassins from other universes are ordered to kill O'Malley and his group, and each alien has a unique ability to do the job. As the Steam City Pirates build a steam-powered amusement park on Coney Island, O'Malley and his group are hunted down in the streets of New York City. The future of the world is at stake in this mystery and adventure featuring a twisting plot, steampunk time travel, steam men duels, crafty inventions, and monsters from other planets. Steam City Pirates Rating: 5.0 stars Reviewed by Jean Hall for Readers' Favorite Detective Patrick O'Malley is our hero in this mind-bending fantasy. O'Malley is pitted against steam-engineered pirates who aim to raid cargo ships and destroy lives. O'Malley also looks for love in the arms of the brilliant and fair-haired Becky Charming. Jim Musgrave in Steam City Pirates captures events in late 19th century New York City with a horrifying yet comic vision of science gone awry. The story begins as Spanish inventor Monturiol wants to engineer a steam-powered submarine. His ultimate goal is to create a peaceful, undersea paradise. But Monturiol is corrupted and he becomes part of a diabolical network that has headquarters above and below ground. The Grand Inquisitor from this group is a fearsome 8-foot-tall, red-eyed, mechanistic creature. The Inquisitor collects inventors to pursue his dark goals and Monturiol is his latest find. Characters in this strange time and place may have a supernatural power or appearance. They may breathe and release steam, fly out of windows and disappear, wield knives at lightning speed, or travel through time. O'Malley also has a few tricks up his sleeve but he may need help to hold the dark forces back. Detective O'Malley struggles with bizarre creatures, haunting visions, and bawdy situations. Steam City Pirates by Jim Musgrave is dazzling with action and thoughtful with scholarly information. I think this book would make a good movie with all its visual elements. I was impressed with the sophistication of Jim Musgrave's writing style and his extensive vocabulary. I enjoyed all the shocking twists and turns with O'Malley on the case. "Steam City Pirates is a nontraditional adventure narrative with rich characters that are very true to their time period and environment. It is also a philosophical exploration of society and religion, an odd combination, but one that makes up the strength of this novel." Review by Fantasy author Margaret McGaffey Fisk "So....a good book, a nice easy read, and a good few twists and turns I didn't expect. However, do yourself a favour, and start at the start (original idea eh?). I'm definitely going to pick up the previous books to get the full impact of this book..albeit a bit late " Review by Bookeygirl Guess what? Pat O'Malley discovers in Steam City Pirates that life is an existential mystery, or a "dream within a dream," as his former boss, Edgar Allan Poe, termed it.

The Currency of Justice

The Currency of Justice

Pat O'Malley

Routledge Cavendish
2009
sidottu
Fines and monetary damages account for the majority of legal sanctions across the whole spectrum of legal governance. Money is, in key respects, the primary tool law has to achieve compliance. Yet money has largely been ignored by social analyses of law, and especially by social theory.The Currency of Justice examines the differing rationalities, aims and assumptions built into money’s deployment in diverse legal fields and sanctions. This raises major questions about the extent to which money appears as an abstract universal or whether it takes on more particular meanings when deployed in various areas of law. Indeed, money may be unique in that it can take on the meanings of punishment, compensation, denunciation or regulation. The Currency of Justice examines the implications of the ‘monetization of justice’ as life is increasingly regulated through this single medium. Money not only links diverse domains of law; it also links legal sanctions to other monetary techniques which govern everyday life. Like these, the concern with monetary sanctions is not who pays, but that money is paid. Money is perhaps the only form of legal sanction where the burden need not be borne by the wrongdoer. In this respect, this book explores the view that contemporary governance is less concerned with disciplining individuals and more concerned with regulating distributions and flows of behaviours and the harms and costs linked with these.

Irish Children and Teenagers in a Changing World

Irish Children and Teenagers in a Changing World

Pat O'Connor

Manchester University Press
2008
sidottu
This book provides an engaging and informative insight into the experiences, dreams and hopes of children and teenagers in contemporary Ireland. O’Connor analyses a unique data set: a random sample of 4,100 texts drawn from roughly 34,000 texts written by young people aged 10–12 years and 14–17 years, in response to a nationwide invitation to describe themselves and the Ireland they inhabit. The young people’s voices give the book a vivid reality, which is illuminated by the application of sociological concepts including global and local, individualization, and ways of ‘doing boy/girl’. The study leads us towards a better understanding of contemporary social problems by locating these young people’s accounts within the broader context of cultural changewhere collective identities have become weaker; where the local is enmeshed with the global; where children anticipate a predictable future and teenagers focus on an extended present; where gender is no longer salient but yet in many ways remains a submerged framework mapping their life styles, life choices and relationships. Written in an accessible style, the book presents a picture that is sometimes challenging, sometimes reassuring but always informative. Containing extensive quotations, it will be of interest not only to students and lecturers in sociology, education, child and youth studies, Irish studies and psychology but to thoughtful parents and teachers at first and second level, and especially those whose students took part in the Write Hear, Write Now project.

Management and Gender in Higher Education

Management and Gender in Higher Education

Pat O'Connor

Manchester University Press
2014
sidottu
This book is a definitive examination of higher education: locating it in a wider neo-liberal context involving the state and the market, with a specific focus on recent higher policy and on the elite group of senior managers in universities. Written in a clear accessible style, it provides an in-depth analysis of university structures, cultures and practices at senior management level. Despite the managerialist rhetoric of accountability, we see structures where access to power is through the Presidents' ‘blessing’, very much as in a medieval court. We see a culture that is less than comfortable with the presence of women, and which, in its narratives, stereotypes and interactions exemplifies to a rather nineteenth-century view of women. Sites and sources of change are also identified. In a global context where diversity is crucial to innovation, it challenges us to critically reflect on management and on higher education.

Seaburn and Roker: Images of England

Seaburn and Roker: Images of England

Pat O'Brien; Peter Gibson

The History Press Ltd
1997
nidottu
This book traces the development of Sunderland's twin seaside resorts from the isolated scattered farmhouses and deserted beaches of the mid-nineteenth century, through to the growth of Roker as a rising seaside resort with congested promenades and crowded beaches, to its decline in popularity after the Second World War when Roker's 'little sister', Seaburn, expanded. The inclusion of Fulwell within the Borough boundaries in 1928 gave the Corporation of Sunderland the opportunity to 'open out' Seaburn and fulfil their ambitions to become the leading North East coast resort town. Despite interests and holiday destinations changing over the past two decades, however, and the fact that our resorts have seen better days, Wearsiders are still attracted to the seaside when the sun shines. Seaburn and Roker are held in affection where we return with out children and grandchildren to give them their first experiences of exploring the sand with bucket and spade, plodging, searching rock pools for sea life, building sand castles and the thrill of a ride on the fair. As well as compiling an illustrated history of Seaburn and Roker the authors have provided Wearsiders with a massive dose of nostalgia which will create an awareness and appreciation of Sunderland's interesting and beautiful coastline.
