Everything you ever wanted to know about canoes but were afraid to ask. The book is filled with gorgeous illustrations of canoes and the outdoors accompanied by detailed descriptions of canoe design and construction, from the earliest canoes built by Native Americans to modern canoes built with synthetic materials. The detailed descriptions of construction techniques may not be for everyone, but the book has plenty of other material on the historical and cultural significance of one of the show more simplest and most enduring human inventions ever conceived. show less
Richard Preston on calculating pi, David Quammen on ice, Mark Singer on Errol Morris and The Thin Blue Line, Tim Conover on truck drivers and AIDS in Africa, and lots more of the best journalism writing around.
