Bøker av Paul Schullery

A fly-fishers manual of style for aspiring writers and readers by two accomplished and published veterans of the sport and the literature.

In this remarkable array of stories, a tour de force of literary styles ranging from unadorned tale to historical mystery to science-fiction adventure, Paul Schullery honors the angler's innate and precious need to hope and illuminates the rich rewards and deeply satisfying misadventures that arise from the fulfillment of our angling dreams.

At once a stirring adventure tale, a candid memoir, an offbeat natural history, and a smart literary chronicle, The Bear Doesn’t Know is a bear-lover’s book of wonders—rich in the joy, beauty, and inspiration found during a life well lived in bear country.

Drawing on historical perspectives, personal excursions, and decades of professional research and work in the field, Paul Schullery illuminates many of the possible truths embedded within the natural and cultural reality that is Yellowstone National Park. By varying the scale of observation Schullery celebrates the park's history and future potential as a laboratory of ideas.

Lewis and Clark's expedition was full of adventures, but few were as exhilarating as their moments with grizzly bears. The author has combed the journals to provide readers with Lewis and Clark's own words on the Ursus horribles and offers new insight into the role of the grizzly bear in this tale of Western exploration and discovery.

Modern fly-fishing is only the latest chapter in a two-millennia saga of technological creativity and passionate observation of the natural world. This book explores the earlier chapters in that saga and unearths a host of provocative theories, techniques, and insights that helped shape the modern fly-fisher.

Paul Schullery and Lee Whittlesey, both longtime students of Yellowstone National Park's complex history, present the first full account of how the fairy-tale origins of the park found universal public acceptance, and of the long process by which the myth was reconsidered and replaced with a more realistic and ultimately more satisfying story.
