Frieda was well aware that her tumultuous life was unique and kept copious diaries, in later years authoring an overview of her life . This account of her life was inspired by those writings . and constitute one of the richest records of pioneer life of the period. As a practical person who played a crucial role in the survival of Central Australia's aboriginal population, Frieda's diaries are distinguished by meticulous observation and careful recording of names, places and facts' (from the publisher's blurb).
[Signed] [First Edition] The Long Program Skating Towards Life's Victories Fleming, Peggy (with Peter Kaminsky) [Used - Near fine] [Hardcover]
60.18 CAD
B&W Illustrations; SIGNED EDITION. This copy has been signed, with an inscription, on the title page. The book is in Near Fine condition and has a Very Good+ dust jacket. The book and its contents are in mostly clean, bright condition. There is a small bump to the bottom spine end of the book covers. The text pages are clean and bright. The dust jacket is in mostly clean condition, but has a small semi-closed tear to the top front panel, along with some light rubbing and wear to the top front flap joint. "Fleming's mother selected a color for her Grenoble skating costume, chartreuse, named after the liqueur of that color produced by neighboring Carthusians in their founding monastery, which also gives the name "chartreuse" to the region, thereby perhaps inspiring local French audience support for Peggy's virtually flawless performance. Her award in Grenoble was singularly important for the American athletes and the nation as a whole, for this was the only gold medal that the U. S. Olympic team won in the 1968 Winter Olympics. It signaled a return to American dominance in the sport of women's figure skating following the unprecedented tragedy of the 1961 Sabena plane crash. " (from Wikipedia) ; Signed by Author

AUTHOR: Brian Clarke (b. 1938) is an English author, journalist, and angler renowned for his contributions to fly-fishing literature. Educated at St Marys Grammar School in Darlington, Clarkes early career included five years with The Guardian and later roles in management and at IBM. His passion for angling led him to become a self-taught fly-fisherman, and he served as the Angling Correspondent for The Sunday Times from 1975 to 1996. Clarkes notable works include The Pursuit of Stillwater Trout (1975), The Trout and the Fly (1980), and the environmental novel The Stream (2000), which won the BP Natural World Book Prize. His writings have significantly influenced modern fly-fishing practices and conservation efforts BOOK RESUME: The Pursuit of Stillwater Trout is a seminal work in modern angling literature, marking a significant shift in stillwater fly-fishing practices. Clarke presents a methodical, observation-based approach to trout fishing, emphasizing the importance of understanding the natural behavior of trout and their prey. By advocating for the use of floating lines, long leaders, and small nymphs, Clarke introduced techniques that transformed lake fishing from traditional methods to more imitative and effective strategies. The books influence is evident in its widespread acclaim and its role in reshaping stillwater fly-fishing practices in Britain and beyond. The significance of The Pursuit of Stillwater Trout lies in its departure from conventional fishing methods, offering anglers a logical and reasoned approach to fly selection and fishing techniques. Clarkes emphasis on observation and understanding the trouts perspective provided both novice and experienced anglers with tools to enhance their fishing success. The books impact is underscored by its description as 'the most important book on the subject that has ever been written' by Fly Fishing and Fly Tying magazine. In The Pursuit of Stillwater Trout, Clarke shares his personal journey from a novice to an accomplished angler, detailing his experiments with various fishing techniques and their outcomes. The narrative is enriched with underwater photography and illustrations that demonstrate trout behavior and rise forms, offering readers a comprehensive understanding of the fishing...
