Courting the Diamond Sow: Kayaking Tibet's Forbidden Tsangpo River
- List Price: $26.00
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: National Geographic Society
- Publish date: 09/01/2000
In 1998, a world-class, four-man paddling team attempted to make history by becoming the first to navigate a remote, 140 mile stretch of the river. But when one of the men -- renowned chemist and kayak racer Doug Gordon -- fell victim to the lethal strength of the river's current, their expedition was abruptly abandoned. Gordon's remains were never found, and the mystery of the Tsangpo endures.
Here is the complete, never-before-told story of the ill-fated expedition. Wick Walker's Courting the Diamond Sow is an enthralling epic, featuring the kayakers' firsthand diary accounts as they passed through the gorges, fascinating insights into this enigmatic corner of the world and the attempts to explore it, and 16 pages of dramatic, full-color photographs.
