First Steps to Fly Fishing: The 1924 Classic Updated for Today

March 11, 2021 By

Fishing with the basics: a rod, a reel, some line, and an artificial “fly” that imitates a fish’s prey is the very definition of fly fishing. Today’s technology has no doubt improved the quality and durability of the equipment and materials of fly fishing, and the basics of the art of fly fishing have remained largely the same.

In 1924, Michael Temple wrote what for decades was the ‘bible’ on learning how to fly fish: “First Steps in Fly Fishing.” Now Cresting Wave Publishing has updated this classic for the 2020s. With an introduction by noted fly fishing expert and author Joshua Bergan and additional material from Editor Kris Neely. $2.99 on Kindle.

Rational Empathy

February 14, 2021 By

The mind, long believed to be outside the domain of objective truth, settles this debate in an unusual manner. $0.99 on Kindle.

Free: Anti-Aging Medicine: How We Can Extend Lifespan and Live Longer and Healthier Lives

January 18, 2021 By

Why do we age? Why is it that there is still no wide scientific agreement on even the fundamental nature of aging? Is aging treatable? What is the future of anti-aging medicine?

Goldsmith takes us on a fascinating tour of the history of biological aging theories, the current status, and present efforts toward developing treatments for extending lifespan and generally delaying aging.

Arguments about the nature of aging (now extending for more than a century) are actually arguments over obscure details of evolution theory. Some of these details suggest that we can find treatments for individual symptoms of aging like cancer and heart disease but that aging itself is an untreatable condition, an inescapable fact of life. Medicine as we know it is largely based on this idea.

However, recent discoveries especially in genetics now strongly show that aging is itself a treatable condition (like a disease) and even suggest ways in which aging can be delayed. Free on Kindle.
