Explore the ingenuity of the Ancestral Puebloans, known for their intricate cliff dwellings, vast trade networks, and mastery of dry farming in the arid Southwest.

Learn how they engineered vast canal networks, developed extensive trade routes, and influenced neighboring cultures through their pottery, architecture, and ceremonial practices.

From the towering earthen pyramids of Cahokia to their sophisticated agricultural and political systems, the Mississippians created one of the most complex pre-Columbian civilizations in North America. Through resilience, innovation, and adaptation, these cultures thrived for centuries, shaping the heritage of the continent.

Paul Whitehouse and fishing expert John Bailey celebrate the timeless joy of fishing. Paul Whitehouse and John Bailey have been devout fishermen for longer than they care to remember. A hobby, past time or sport – call it what you want – they have felt the pull of the water ever since they were kids and have never missed the chance to set up on the bank and try their luck. In this wonderful book, the two fishermen collaborate to celebrate the rich tapestry that is fishing – from mentors to memories; from philosophy to modern jargon; from watercraft to becoming self-styled ‘Fishing Detectives’. Punctuated by brilliant stories, beautiful illustrations by Carys Reilly-Whitehouse, and recollections from fishing day trips past, How We Fish is the perfect tome for the veteran fisherman or the budding angler – warm, funny and rich in the wonders of the riverbank. Paul Whitehouse's How We Fish is a top-rated non-fiction book that combines elements of autobiography, travel, and comedy. The authors love for nature and their experiences as environmentalists make this book a must-read for anyone interested in fishing or the great outdoors. For fans of John Gierach (All Fishermen Are Liars), Richard Blackburn (Float Fishing), Howell Raines (Fly Fishing Through the Midlife Crisis), Bob Mortimer (Mortimer & Whitehouse), and John Moorwood (The Magic of Fishing).
