Description:
Whether raging river or stormy sea, water is both a means toward adventure and an adventure in itself. Many who venture onto the water write about their exploits when they return to land. Armchair Paddler brings together some of the best literature that has evolved from these adventures, exploring the reasons some take to the water, while others just marvel at the power and the beauty that all too often dwarfs human endeavor.
Expand description
Armchair Paddler captures the gamut of paddling literature, from examinations of the eloquence and sophistication of the traditional watercraft used to explore the watery realm to hair-raising accounts of high-octane thrills on big drop rivers. Between these covers, readers will experience the first descent down the Rio Bio Bio, raft Lava Falls (Colorado's most famous and difficult rapid), encounter exotic cultures in northern India, and marvel at a solo transatlantic crossing in a small, foldable kayak. These are stories from people who meet the challenge nature has to offer, either as a way of life or a rite of passage.
