World Whitewater: A Global Guide for River Runners

Rating:
Summary: An Inspired Book
Review: This is a surprizingly good book. It not only renders a service to river runners but more im portantly it is an inspired attempt to be of service to the rivers themselves. Besides the useful technical imformation on the how and where of kayaking and boating it is full of interesting and poetic details about the character of the regions through which the rivers flow. I have used it in teaching geography to children and adults. As an active Conservationist and teacher I believe this book deserves a spot on many a reference shelf in many a library and bookcase.
