Erstausgabe
Cloth. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. First Edition. A VERY GOOD, clean, tight copy sans rips/tears, stains, markings and discoloration. PROLIFICALLY ILLUSTRATED in full color photography and maps (most full or double-page) with accompanying descriptive captions. "This book on our continent's wild, free-flowing waters is an adventure story, a lively travelog, a paean to nature and a colorful history-lavishly illustrated with some 200 color photographs and maps. Eleven essays evoke North America's unspoiled rivers, from Alaska's primeval Noatak which flows through a vast almost undisturbed area, to Florida's exotic Suwannee River drifting through the Okefenokee Swamp with vegetation so rich it sometimes masks the water. The text vividly combines the first-hand experiences of an author-outdoorsman and his contagious delight in exploring rivers and meeting the challenge of white water. it is studded with fascinating anecdotes from the past, and authoritative descriptions of the land and wildlife as well as of river people." NOTE: Due to oversize and well-over 4 lb. shipping weight of the book significant additional shipping cost will be requested/required for EXPEDITED and OUT-OF-U.S. shipment. GI4.
