Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Near the end of the Second World War, the United States made a bold strategic gambit that rewired the international system. Empires were abolished and replaced by a global arrangement enforced by the U.S. Navy. With all the world's oceans safe for the first time in history, markets and resources were made available for everyone. Enemies became partners.We think of this system as normal - it is not. We live in an artificial world on borrowed time.In The Accidental Superpower, international strategist Peter Zeihan examines how the hard rules of geography are eroding the American commitment to free trade; how much of the planet is aging into a mass retirement that will enervate markets and capital supplies; and how, against all odds, it is the ever-ravenous American economy that - alone among the developed nations - is rapidly approaching energy independence. Combined, these factors are doing nothing less than overturning the global system and ushering in a new (dis)order.For most, that is a disaster-in-waiting, but not for the Americans. The shale revolution allows Americans to sidestep an increasingly dangerous energy market. Only the United States boasts a youth population large enough to escape the sucking maw of global aging. Most important, geography will matter more than ever in a de-globalizing world, and America's geography is simply sublime. With a new "10 years later" epilogue for every chapter, comes an eye-opening assessment of American power and deglobalization in the bestselling tradition of The World is Flat and The Next 100 Years.

Hardcover. Condition: New. John Rice (illustrator). 1st Edition. 224 pages with 125 photos and illustrations. Closing the Season recounts an Atlantic salmon fisherman s love affair with the world-famous Miramichi River & with the Cains, one of its most appealing autumn-run tributaries. Brad Burns, a well-known striped bass fly fisherman and author of the LLBean Fly Fishing for Striped Bass Handbook, first visited the Miramichi in 2002 & was quickly seduced by the challenge and the tradition of salmon fishing in this renowned New Brunswick river that is easily accessible but still unspoiled. Burns has done his homework and his writing about the history of the Miramichi watershed and how the Canadian system of managing salmon fishing on public and private water developed over the past 125 years is especially interesting. Along the way you ll meet some of the salmon fishers who helped make it all happen people like baseball great Ted Williams, Hungarian freedom-fighter and guide Willy Bacso, and pioneering Miramichi outfitter Charlie Wade. You ll also learn about the near death of salmon sport on the Miramichi due to out-of-control commercial fishing and the re-emergence of the river as big fish water after conservationists were successful in pulling out the nets. A large portion of Closing The Season is devoted to the Cains, a small wild river with big salmon that arrive in the upriver camp pools towards the tail end of the season in late September and October. From the author s journal notes taken on a daily basis for the last five weeks of the fishing year, the reader gets to share with Burns and his fishing friends the thrill of angling for salmon on their spawning passage upstream while enjoying the abundant resident and migratory wildlife and the changing look and feel of this pristine place as the brilliant fall foliage peaks and wanes and the Cains settles in for the long, cold, Canadian winter. Closing the Season offers more than 125 photos and illustrations including carefully researched old maps and other interesting historical documents. The journal also features some lovely original sporting artwork by John Rice (including the cover painting) that brings to life the long angling history of the Miramichi and the Cains. Brad Burns shares some very useful information about flies and other angling gear, along with anecdotal how-to that will be of interest to any salmon angler. But Closing The Season is most of all a celebration of the joys of salmon fishing in a great Canadian watershed that boasts the largest run of Atlantic salmon in North America. Part I: SALMON ON THE MIRAMICHI AND THE CAINS CHOOSING THE MIRAMICHI: Remote yet easily reachable by good paved roads, the Miramichi holds fully one-third of the Atlantic salmon in North America rivers. All those salmon and a history rich in angling tradition sold me on the Miramichi. CAMPBELL S AND KEENAN S: These two salmon pools, once held by Wade s Fishing Lodge in Crown Grants stretching back to the early 1800s, along with a comfortable camp up on a hill overlooking the river, became my home base on the Miramichi. THE CAINS: This small tannin-stained tributary to the Miramichi fills with very big salmon making their move to the headwaters every fall just as the season closes in October. We fish the Cains in the wake of the early guides who sailed down the river from Bantalor in Chestnut canoes. Part II: THE JOURNAL At salmon camp the order of the day is fishing. We enrich the experience by reading the water, noting the birds and other abundant wildlife, and letting our thoughts flow with the wind and the weather, and the vagaries of the salmon migration. This journal is my record of one year s fall fishing on the Miramichi and the Cains. EPILOGUE: The fishing at the close of the season in October was still fresh in my mind s eye when I returned to Mahoney Brook on the Cains the following April. Part III: TACKLE AND TECHNIQUES I ve spent thousands of hours crotch-deep in the Miramichi and the Cains and am happy to pass on some.
