Human rights capture what people need to live minimally decent lives. Recognized dimensions of this minimum include physical security, due process, political participation, and freedom of movement, speech, and belief, as well as subsistence, shelter, health, education, culture, and community.

Casting new light on the mysterious and elegant world of fly fishing, it teems with lore and wisdom, humor, and most of all, passion.

Like his previous titles Lines on Water, about his pursuit of angling, and Hockey Dreams, about the game his disabled body prevented him from playing, Facing the Hunter explores the meaning of a sport and the way in which it touches lives, not least that of the author.

How would you feel if you invested years of your life: your time, energy, money, blood, sweat, and tears...only to give up and toss it away? If you continuously transfer your attention from one thing to another and dabble in several pursuits, you will fail and give up on your ambitions when things become tough. Isn't it life-changing to be able to finally focus on your most essential goals, work on them attentively on a daily basis, and see them through? You can break free from the vicious cycle. Everyone aspires to live their ideal life, but only a few actually do it.

The MindCoach System is different.

Hector Penniac had been planning to go to university, perhaps to study medicine. Roger Savage, a loner who has had to make his own way since his youth, comes under suspicion of killing Hector over a union card and a morning’s work.
