For all dreamers, active paddlers or not, plunge wholeheartedly into "The Starship and The Canoe". A wonderfully literate book by Kenneth Brower, whose writing style is much like that of John McPhee. It's a biography, or perhaps it's a bi-biography, of Geo Dyson and his father Freeman Dyson. Each wrapped up in a fabulous dream of transport of 1 kind or another. [What a family! Some P'wisers may also know about Esther Dyson, energetic and creative in a different field.] Read it and re-read it, and then pass it along. You won't be sorry. I know it's readily available in p'back from Amazon; I've bought at least 1/2 dozen copies in the last year. regards from houston, janet lowry *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
