Journalist and rower Churbuck tries to explain the appeal of rowing, one of the older organized sports, for which the 1976 Olympics sparked a resurgence of interest. In 19 chapters including skulls, shells, and equipment; history; coaching; club, collegiate, Olympic, and recreational rowing, Churbuck celebrates the value of rowing for exercise, for sport, and for sheer pleasure of a difficult accomplishment. Stephen Kiesling ( The Shell Game , LJ 4/1/82) limned the aesthetics of rowing; David Halberstam ( The Amateurs , LJ 7/85) portrayed individual rowers. Churbuck presents the entire picture. Recommended for most public and academic libraries. Roland Person, Southern Illinois Univ. Lib., Carbondale
