"Altogether excellent."-- "Brain Pickings"
"Part memoir, part popular science blog, with interludes of closely
guided casting in England, Italy, and Iceland, Gleiser, like many
of us, explores angling as a "conduit to the outer world of natural
phenomena and the inner world of the self."-- "Fly Fishing & Tying
Journal"
Beautifully composed . . . This elegant treatise will inspire
readers who relish a philosophical approach to science and
travel.-- "Library Journal"
