Historically, coarse fish have been overlooked in favor of their prized game fish counterparts, such as salmon and trout. However, the author argues that coarse fish offer a valuable source of sustenance and recreation, particularly for those with limited access to traditional fishing grounds. By delving into the natural breeding habits and environmental requirements of various coarse fish species, the book provides practical guidance on how to enhance their populations and promote sustainable fishing practices. Through a comprehensive examination of methods such as spawning boxes and pond systems, the author empowers readers to become active participants in the conservation and enjoyment of these often-overlooked species. Ultimately, the book highlights the crucial role of coarse fish in maintaining biodiversity and emphasizes the importance of responsible stewardship for future generations of anglers and nature enthusiasts alike. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book addresses the little-explored yet pressing problem that modern Britain, a nation largely dependent on bread and other far-flung food imports, could be starved into submission in a war with nations like Russia and America who control their food supply. The author presents a thorough examination of the great threat of wartime starvation, situating it within the context of similar events throughout history, including several near-starvation instances in the 1800s. Through meticulous research and analysis, the book goes on to propose a potential solution: establishing a national reserve of wheat sufficient to last a year. The implications of such a move are discussed from multiple angles, addressing concerns like cost and feasibility. This thought-provoking book makes a compelling case for a simple yet effective strategy to ensure Britain's food security in times of war.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book on fishing in the 16th century is one of the first to cover the subject comprehensively and to include fish culture. It offers a wealth of information on the art including bait and tackle, with illustrations of the tools, traps, and nets used at the time. While some of the book's information is outdated, anglers today will find fascinating details on how shing was done in the 16th century: for example, how to preserve sh eggs, how to take a heron, and even how to wage a 'craysh war.' A historical gem of a book, it is an important addition to any angling library.
