Beadheads, Coneheads, & Dumbbells

By: Bill Fett

Avid sport fishermen and novices alike will not want to be without this book on their shelves. Tying one's own flies to tempt a hungry fish can be as enjoyable as piercing a fish's lip and landing it. A highly prized craft, these fly patterns will surely also bring out the artist inside. The book is unique among fly tying pattern books because it showcases only weighted patterns. With more than 1700 fly patterns to choose from and replicate there are plenty of options. The patterns are suited to all types of fish species but their commonality is more so in the way that one would fish with them. The patterns range from simple to complex. The assembled fly tying 'recipes' feature full color photos of the finished flies. The author is an avid fly fisherman and fly-tier and has used many of these very patterns to land fish in cool freshwater rivers and warm saltwater bays.

A Want of Vigilance

The Bristoe Station Campaign, October 9–19, 1863

By: Bill Backus,Robert Orrison

Part of the Emerging Civil War Series, this history covers a crucial clash between the Blue and the Gray that impacted future Union tactics and victories. The months after the Battle of Gettysburg were anything but quiet—filled with skirmishes and cavalry clashes. Nonetheless, Union commander Maj. Gen. George Gordon Meade had yet to encounter his Confederate counterpart, Gen. Robert E. Lee, in combat. Lee’s army, severely bloodied at Gettysburg, did not have the offensive capability it once possessed. Yet Lee’s aggressive nature could not be quelled, and he looked for the chance to strike out at Meade. In mid-October, 1863, both men shifted their armies into motion, each surprising the other. Quickly, Meade found himself racing northward for safety along the Orange & Alexandria Railroad, with Lee charging up the rail line behind him. Last stop: Bristoe Station, Virginia. In A Want of Vigilance, authors Bill Backus and Robert Orrison trace the battle from the armies’ camps around Orange and Culpeper through the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and along the vital railroad—to Centreville and back—in one of the war’s most little-known confrontations, pitting the “goggle-eyed snapping turtle” against “the old gray fox.” “An excellent short summary of a complex but often overlooked period of the Civil War. The tactical stalemates of Bristoe and later Mine Run led to the reorganization of the Union war effort in the East and the subsequent Overland Campaign of the Spring and Summer of 1864.” —Civil War News

Professional C# 2005

By: Christian Nagel,Bill Evjen,Jay Glynn,Karli Watson,Morgan Skinner,Allen Jones

Professional C# 2005 prepares you to program in C#, and it provides the necessary background information on how the .NET architecture works. It provides examples of applications that use a variety of related technologies, including database access, dynamic web pages, advanced graphics, and directory access. The only requirement is that you are familiar with at least one other high-level language used on Windows—either C++, VB, or J++. It starts with a tutorial on C# and the .NET framework. This introduction assumes no prior knowledge of .NET, but it does move rapidly, on the assumption that the reader is an experienced programmer. Once this background knowledge is established, the book starts to sweep through the vast .NET class library, showing how you can use C# to solve various tasks. This comprehensive coverage is one of the key selling points of previous versions of the book, and is maintained and enhanced with this new edition by adding new chapters on Generics, ObjectSpaces, Yukon, and Indigo. Some reference material is included either as appendices or is available to download from the Wrox website. After the introduction and initial chapter, the book is divided into a number of sections that cover both the C# language and its application in a variety of areas. Coverage includes: Writing Windows applications and Windows services Writing web pages and web services with ASP.NET Manipulating XML using C# 2005 Understanding .NET Assemblies Using ADO.NET to access databases Integration with COM, COM+, and Active Directory Distributed applications with .NET Remoting Generating graphics using C# 2005 Accessing files and the Registry, and controlling .NET security

The Book on the Book

A Landmark Inquiry into Which Strategies in the Modern Game Actually Work

By: Bill Felber

Die-hard fanatics will enjoy this comprehensive collection of groundbreaking baseball strategies, analyses, statistics, and studies "Picking up where Michael Lewis left off in Moneyball, he addresses the central questions of risk, reward, and value--on the field and off--and reveals what it takes to win." -John Thorn, editor of Total Baseball This unique approach to understanding the "tried and true" methodologies of the game of baseball examines conventional elements like the steal, hit and run, and line-up construction. The Book on The Book offers an exciting critique of baseball by placing an actual dollar value on player performance and rating managers based on their on-field moves to determine who are the smartest tacticians. No corner of the ballpark is left unturned as author Bill Felber explores the various methods of team-building, on-field values of players, the role and influence of the general manager in team success, and the importance of park effects. In the vein of the late Leonard Koppett and Bill James, Felber uses mathematical and statistical principles to evaluate the wisdom of standard baseball strategies. Illustrations and a refreshingly engaging style make The Book on The Book the new textbook of baseball analysis.

American Boundaries

The Nation, the States, the Rectangular Survey

By: Bill Hubbard

For anyone who has looked at a map of the United States and wondered how Texas and Oklahoma got their Panhandles, or flown over the American heartland and marveled at the vast grid spreading out in all directions below, American Boundaries will yield a welcome treasure trove of insight. The first book to chart the country’s growth using the boundary as a political and cultural focus, Bill Hubbard’s masterly narrative begins by explaining how the original thirteen colonies organized their borders and decided that unsettled lands should be held in trust for the common benefit of the people. Hubbard goes on to show—with the help of photographs, diagrams, and hundreds of maps—how the notion evolved that unsettled land should be divided into rectangles and sold to individual farmers, and how this rectangular survey spread outward from its origins in Ohio, with surveyors drawing straight lines across the face of the continent. Mapping how each state came to have its current shape, and how the nation itself formed within its present borders, American Boundaries will provide historians, geographers, and general readers alike with the fascinating story behind those fifty distinctive jigsaw-puzzle pieces that together form the United States.

Make Money in Short-Sale Foreclosures

How to Bypass Owners and Buy Directly from Lenders

By: Chantal Howell Carey,Bill Carey

MAKE MONEY IN SHORT-SALE FORECLOSURES Foreclosures are the most profitable way to invest in real estate. But most real estate books on foreclosures don't tell you how to invest in short-sale foreclosures--properties with even more profit potential than regular foreclosures. A short-sale foreclosure is a lender accepting a loan payoff for less than the amount owed. This comprehensive new guide from renowned real estate authors Chantal and Bill Carey covers all the ins and outs of short-sale foreclosure investing, from finding properties to negotiating with lenders, to closing the deal and making a bundle. Inside you'll find all the information you need to succeed: * Finding great short-sale foreclosure deals * Dealing with owners in financial distress * When to buy short-sale foreclosures * Creating equity in foreclosure properties * Writing successful short-sale offers * FHA, VA, and private mortgage insurance short-sales * Purchasing short-sale properties at auction * Understanding escrow, closing, and title insurance * Flipping short-sale properties
