Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Riverbank Memories is a collection of humorous anecdotes and heartfelt observations from spending time outdoors wading rivers, creeks, and streams in Southern Appalachia and beyond. This book is a lifetime of notes scribbled and finally compiled into one manuscript. Many of his angling stories and thoughts were written in journals, notes, or streamside handwritten on the riverbank. You may find a few stories about pursuing other outdoor hobbies or earlier times. When reading, you will embark on an emotional journey and feel like you are standing beside him and participating. Mike shares the joy and wisdom he's accumulated fly fishing and being outdoors. But it's not strictly a fly fishing book. He's thrown in some short stories he may call non-fiction, allowing the reader to laugh and determine the truth. Spanning more than forty-seven years honing his skills as a fly fisherman, he also sheds light on the importance of teaching others the sport. Mike highlights this belief by sharing stories about his own family and absolutely defines the meaning of "Take a Kid Fishing." This enjoyable book makes great bedside reading and will make the reader smile.

His fate seems sealed when a carnival comes to town and changes Jim’s destiny, finding him the forever home he has always longed for.

During Jim's time with us, I often wondered about his past and if the other goldfish at the fair ended up as lucky.” The author was born in the Bronx, grew up in Washington Heights, and graduated from Lehman College, City University of New York.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Handbook of Stress in the Occupations sets a new agenda for stress research and gives fresh impetus to scholars who wish to focus on issues and problems associated with specific jobs, some of which have received little attention in the past. Written by researchers who are true experts in the field of each occupation, this comprehensive Handbook reviews stress in a wide range of jobs including transport, education, farming, fishing, oil rig drilling, finance, law enforcement, fire fighting, entrepreneurship, music, social services, prisons, sport, and health including surgery, internship, dentistry, nursing, paramedics, psychiatry and social work. Several occupations such as oil rig drilling are reviewed; these jobs have always been stressful but have received little attention by researchers, and only now receive more focus due to the Bay of Mexico accident. Other occupations demand more of our attention because there have been substantial technological changes in particular jobs, such as in dentistry, nursing, and surgery. This lucid and insightful compendium will be a source of inspiration for those in the helping professions and all those individuals working in the industries described in the book. More specifically, the Handbook will strongly appeal to human resource specialists, psychologists, occupational health and safety professionals, managers, nurses and therapists. Written in highly accessible language, it will also provide rich reading to lay audiences including job incumbents themselves, as well as specialists in industry and academia. Academics and postgraduate students of business, management, and psychology will find plenty of detailed information regarding stress associated with occupations.
