History of a Revoluter
SHORTLISTED FOR THE SALTIRE PRIZE, SCOTLAND'S NATIONAL BOOK AWARDS 2025 The popular acclaim of James Leslie Mitchell (1901-1935) has risen exponentially in the twenty-first century, and Mitchell's critical standing in European literature is now assured. This is the first full critical biography, authorised by his family, of the author who found enduring fame by his pen-name of Lewis Grassic Gibbon, universally heralded for the plangent autofictional novel Sunset Song and for the epic trilogy of modern Scotland, A Scots Quair. Dr William Malcolm has drawn on over forty years of dedicated research to lay bare the complex personality of the man behind the legend. Presenting definitive new evidence for every chapter of Mitchell's life, this is a truly fascinating story. Of a child genius born into rural poverty spurred into action as a lifelong political activist. Of rags-to-riches success ground out from the social turbulence of the early decades of the twentieth century. Of the tragedy of a quicksilver talent cut off in his prime, already a leading light of the Modern Scottish Literary Renaissance and of the British section of the anti-fascist Revolutionary Writers of the World. And of a timeless literary legacy secured in Scotland and beyond by a writer summoning the dogged individualism of his peasant ancestry to create one of the most resonant humanitarian voices in modern literature.

100 days in Los Roques
One hundred days of fly fishing in Los Roques. A magical destination, full of possibilities to develop our beautiful art.In this book you will not find magic recipes on how to fish, who to fish with, or what to buy for fishing. My humble motivation is to share my own experiences and my enthusiasm. I wish to show that the time spent on the water, often in solitude and without anyone telling me "how", is not lost. On the contrary, time accumulates and increases the knowledge of each one of us. I have always tried to decipher how natural impulses move in an unconscious and original way towards this activity that I am so passionate about.The best angler is not the one who catches more fish, publishes more photographs or spends more money on equipment, clothing or trips. For me, the most evolved angler is the one who tries to blend in with the environment he is fishing in. I also believe that the good fly fisherman is the one who goes unnoticed, the one who leaves no human trace. For you, this may or may not be appealing. We all have different ways of fishing, and indeed living, with different perspectives and different goals. But I hope my vision of what I have experienced will be useful to some adventurous and intuitive fly-fishers. Daniel Racciatti was born in Rosario on August 10, 1961.He graduated as a Physical Education Teacher at the Higher Institute number 11.All his life as a teacher he tried to transmit his love of nature to his students. Excursions to the mountains and camping were his favorite activities during his thirty-five-year career.He worked at the Jockey Club of Rosario for more than three decades as a physical trainer for football, rugby and hockey. In addition, he was director of the summer camps and served as a children's soccer instructor until his retirement.In fly fishing, he coordinated the school of the Rosarina Fly Fishing Association for several years and is now a "selective" mentor.He was lucky enough to fly fish in paradisiacal places of fresh and salt water for more than forty years.Today he enjoys his two granddaughters and his grandson, fly fishing more often than ever, and he tries to write as well as possible.

Fire Eaters
The riveting history of how aircraft have transformed the fighting of wildfires. Throughout history, when threatened by wildfires our only defense was to pray for rain and run -- until aircraft changed the way we fight fires. Beginning with the Canadian "H-Boats" in 1924, aircraft have become indispensable in detecting and extinguishing wildfires. Fire Eaters tells the incredible stories of the Ontario Provincial Air Service, the first government aerial fire suppression organization in history; one of its pilots, Carl Crossley, who invented the water scoop-up and drop-off system; and the Canadair CL-215, the first purpose-built water bomber. Today, helicopters with "Bambi Buckets" and snorkels can dump water while hovering directly over the flames, and Air Tractors and Dash 8-400AT air tankers not only perform a crucial role in saving communities but also protect our ecosystem. Satellites -- unmanned aircraft able to fly for sixteen hours, even overnight when manned aircraft do not -- and artificial intelligence already play a decisive role in fire management. But it is the men and women of the aerial fire service who have really changed the way we fight fire around the world. Their bravery and dedication mean that response times are fast, fires can be contained sooner, and people have the chance to save rather than lose everything.
Life-Changing Homes
A unique and daring collection of homes and the stories of those who have changed their lives by changing their surroundings, from YouTube sensation Kirsten Dirksen and Nicol獺s Boullosa of @kirstendirksen / faircompanies For most people, the search for a home involves setting a budget, finding a place, then filling rooms with stuff. But Kirsten Dirksen and Nicol獺s Boullosa believe the search for a home is a search for meaning, and that the right dwelling can set the direction for one's life. Fifteen years ago, armed with a camera and limitless curiosity, they set out across the globe to prove their theory and to challenge traditional assumptions about what makes a home. Now that the past few years have completely altered the way we live and work, most of us are asking the same questions and seeking homes that reflect our lifestyles and values. The dozens of spaces featured in Life-Changing Homes urge readers to think differently about their own lives and what might be possible, and the gorgeous photography and thought-provoking writing share the inspiring stories of those who have made the change.
