"A veteran river guide introduces the ins and outs of the sport: how rivers behave; river sense and choosing the best water to run; selecting your craft; the latest gear and modern techniques; and respecting the river environment."--BOOK JACKET.
A well written and comprehensive primer on river crafts, trip planning, and other river knowledge. A bit dated in places (and in some places unfortunately still accurate decades later), but overall a worthwhile read for anyone interested in getting into river running
