[Paddlewise] Professor Popsicle writes a book.

Gordon Giesbrecht, aka Professor Popsicle, has written a book on hypothermia. 
Co-authored by Dr. James Wilkerson.

Giesbrecht is an acknowledged expert in hypothermia, having spent quite a few 
years doing research at the University of Winnipeg on the effects of cold on the 
human body.

Wilkerson has written on wilderness medicine and his books are well respected.

You couldn't get a more authoritative reference.  Much of Giesbrecht's research 
is on immersion hypothermia.  If you want to know more about hypothermia as it 
can affect you as a kayaker, this is a book to consider.

I haven't read it yet, but will be buying it soon.
