About This Item
Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1977. Book. Fine. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. red cloth, dust jacket, 237 pages : illustrations, a fine copy,in near fine d.j., CONTENTS: The canoe, The canoe on the water Turbulence and river tactics, Canoeing judgment, Canoe trips The river, The canoeist and the river, APPENDICES: Information on canoeing rivers, Books on canoeing, Equipment list. Much of this book is concerned with analyzing white water, with the techniques for handling it rather than trying to conquer it by brute force, with canoeing safety, and with the planning and organizing of safe but adventurous trips. But The Canoe and White Water goes far beyond primers in canoeing skills. It sets the sport in the contexts of history, technology, geology and physics. The author describes how canoes have been made over the centuries, the factors governing their design, and the features to look for in choosing one today. .
