Review

Darwin's Bass: The Evolutionary Psychology Of Fishing Man explores how fishing ties together the great web of life. Our toots as a fishing species go a long way toward explaining the attraction modern humans feel to the sport of fishing. If you or your loved one is a fisherman, Darwin's Bass offers a new understanding about the nature of a fisherman and why they do what they do. Darwin's Bass is replete with insight into the motivations that send men and women out onto the water. Darwin's Bass is a light-hearted, humorous, and uplifting approach to the philosophy of fishing. Another not-to-be-missed book is Paul Quinnett's Pavlov's Trout (05-8 $12. 95), which was the first book ever published about the psychology of fishing. -- Midwest Book Review --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


Product Description

In this follow-up to his widely acclaimed Pavlov's Trout, internationally recognized psychologist and fifty-year fisherman Paul Quinnett, Ph.D., explores the evolutionary foundations of fishing and why so many people have such a strong bond to the sport. While exploring real scientific conundrums of our evolution as a fisher folk-Did fishing help us develop our intelligence? Does the successful fisherman have a better chance of contributing to the gene pool?- Darwin's Bass also helps explain the joy, freedom, anticipation and hope that people feel when they go fishing. This collection of amusing and fascinating angling-related essays is a must for anyone addicted to fishing and who sometimes wonders why. Even those who have never been lured by the peaceful sport will enjoy this witty guide to the human mind from a fisherman's perspective.

4.0 out of 5 stars enlightening, entertaining, and fishing!, April 18, 1999
By A Customer
Paul Quinnet uses his vast knowledge and experience in human pychology and fishing, to creat a facinating disortation. He uses his clinical experiences of human behavior and relates them to fishing life. This book is very difficult to explain to someone who has not read it. I found it very enjoyable to read and use some of his ideas every day. I can't believe that this book is rated so low on the sales scale. One should also read the sister to this book, Pavlovs Trout.
