Gordon Giesbrecht, aka Professor Popsicle, has written a book on hypothermia. Co-authored by Dr. James Wilkerson. http://www.mountaineersbooks.org/contributorinfo.cfm?ContribID=1384 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. <http://www.umanitoba.ca/faculties/physed/research/people/giesbrecht.shtml> 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.
