Authoritative and highly readable, Fly Fishing for Trout is a must for anybody interested in the sport, written not only with the beginner in mind, but also the occasional fly fisher and the experienced angler who has fished only one or two types of water and wishes to try others." . …

"Few flyfishers can resist the lure of running water. Whether it takes the stately form of one of the great chalk streams of southern England, the awesome power of an Usk or an Eden or the enchanting intimacy of a highland burn or a West Country moorland brook, its magic casts its spell and draws us back and back.

Barz, Paul, 1943-2013. Bach, Händel, Schütz : Meister der Barockmusik. Würzburg: Arena, 1984, 1. Auflage, 256pp., very good dust-jacket, very good orange hardcover. 1985 ist das große Jahr der europäischen Barockmusik: 400 Jahre Heinrich Schütz, 300 Jahre Johann Sebastian Bach und 300 Jahre Georg Friedrich Händel. Wie in einem farbigen Gemälde schildert Paul Barz das Leben dieser drei Komponisten in einer bewegten Zeit. Jeder von ihnen hat eine eigene Welt der Musik geschaffen, jeder findet auch heute noch ein begeistertes Publikum. Als Meister des deutschen Frühbarock gilt Heinrich Schütz, der über lange Jahre hin Hofkapellmeister in Dresden war. Dorthin, an den Hof des sächsischen Kurfürsten, war er nach dem Studienaufenthalt in Venedig, dem Zentrum der Musikwelt dieser Zeit, gegangen. In Dresden erlebt er den Glanz des Hoflebens genauso wie die Schrecken des 30jährigen Krieges. Auch Johann Sebastian Bach, der Thomaskantor in Leipzig, hatte 100 Jahre später die Welt der Fürsten kennengelemt, und so durchdringen sich in seinem Werk höfische, weltliche und geisdiche Musik. Genauso widersprüchlich wie seine Musik bleibt auch der Mensch Bach, der heute als einer der größten Komponisten überhaupt gilt. Ein Zeitgenosse, den Bach nie kennenlernen sollte, war Georg Friedrich Händel. Anders als der Thomaskantor war er stets vom Erfolg begleitet: ein Superstar in Hamburg, Venedig und London. Als Hofkomponist der englischen Könige verzauberte er das Publikum mit prunkvollen Opern und Oratorien. 9783401040226 ISBN 3401040227.…
