Skateboarding and Philosophy
The histories of skateboarding and philosophy are not entirely dissimilar. Skateboarding got its start in the middle of the 20th century and quickly garnered a reputation as an activity that both attracted and encouraged a sort of lawless rebellion. In a similar vein, not long after its inception, philosophy was most commonly known for its out-of-the-box questioning of authority. However, both skating and philosophy eventually crept into the mainstream of society and have since earned their place as permanent fixtures in the culture. With all they have in common, it's only appropriate that the two should intersect in this book. This collection of 19 new essays (written by philosophers who are also skaters and skating enthusiasts) covers a wide variety of topics important to skating such as its culture, politics, history, art, and status as a sport. If you're a skater (or someone who simply appreciates skating), and you're interested in thinking a bit more carefully--a bit more deeply--about skateboarding, this book was put together to help you do just that.
A Matter of Style
Leaving behind a job as a public school teacher, acclaimed writer Scott Sadil (rhymes with cradle)began building Tamalita, a lug-rigged beach yawl suitable for exploring the remote tidewaters of Baja California's Magdalena Bay. Before he could finish planking his new boat, however, Sadil received an email from Gray's Sporting Journal, for the past fifty years America's preeminent hunting and fishing magazine. Gray's needed a writer of Sadil's stature to take over the duties of their angling editor. Would he be interested in applying for the job?A Matter of Style: Flyfishing into the Winds of Change brings together Sadil's columns and feature stories written over his first half decade with Gray's. The author of six previous books, including fiction and nonfiction, Sadil has received wide-reaching praise as both a stylist and humorist, a literary writer whose essays and short stories have been compared favorably with the works of Thomas McGuane, Ted Leeson, Charley Waterman, and other writers of traditional and contemporary outdoor literature.For readers of Gray's, here's the chance to revisit and share all of Scott Sadil's work as the journal's angling editor for the past five years. For anyone else who enjoys the sport of flyfishing, or simply reading about freshwater and saltwater angling adventures from points near and far, A Matter of Style: Flyfishing into the Winds of Change should rise immediately to the top of your must-read book list, an opportunity to pay witness to the spirited highs and lows of flyfishing in our volatile world today.

Wompus Stompus
Wompus Stompus, with his enormous, thunderous foot, is on a rampage! His massive paw hovers over the ground, casting a shadow over whatever it is that lies beneath. He's got his eyes locked on a target, but what is it? Perhaps it's an unsuspecting pile of leaves that, with a swift stomp, he could crush into oblivion. Or maybe it's a group of tiny creatures scurrying about, blissfully unaware of his impending footfall.As Wompus raises his foot higher, he seems a little too confident, but wait... what's that under his heel? A delicate flower? A fragile toy? Or-uh-oh-something with a big, flashing warning sign: "DO NOT STOMP!" He better be careful, or Wompus might be in for a surprise that'll teach him to watch where he stomps!
