And you will know it, live it, and consult it thereafter simply by name.” --Chicago Sun-Times “Brower’s superbly written book clutches at one’s imagination.” --Publishers Weekly “In the tradition of Carl Sagan and John McPhee, a bracing cerebral voyage past intergalactic hoopla and backwoods retreats.” --Kirkus Reviews Originally published in 1978, The Starship and the Canoe is the remarkable story of a father and son: Freeman Dyson is a world-renowned astrophysicist who dreams of exploring the heavens and has designed a spaceship to take him there. His son George, a brilliant high school dropout, lives in a treehouse and is designing a giant kayak to explore the icy coastal wilderness of the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. Author Kenneth Brower describes with stunning impact their lives and their visions of the world. It is a timeless tale framed by modern science, adventure, family, and the natural world.

Download or read book The Survival of the Bark Canoe written by John McPhee and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 1982-05-01 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Greenville, New Hampshire, a small town in the southern part of the state, Henri Vaillancourt makes birch-bark canoes in the same manner and with the same tools that the Indians used. The Survival of the Bark Canoe is the story of this ancient craft and of a 150-mile trip through the Maine woods in those graceful survivors of a prehistoric technology. It is a book squarely in the tradition of one written by the first tourist in these woods, Henry David Thoreau, whose The Maine Woods recounts similar journeys in similar vessel. As McPhee describes the expedition he made with Vaillancourt, he also traces the evolution of the bark canoe, from its beginnings through the development of the huge canoes used by the fur traders of the Canadian North Woods, where the bark canoe played the key role in opening up the wilderness. He discusses as well the differing types of bark canoes, whose construction varied from tribe to tribe, according to custom and available materials. In a style as pure and as effortless as the waters of Maine and the glide of a canoe, John McPhee has written one of his most fascinating books, one in which his talents as a journalist are on brilliant display.
Download or read book Canoe Travelling written by Warington Baden-Powell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-07-28 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canoe Travelling: Log of a Cruise on the Baltic, and Practical Hints on Building and Fitting Canoes Modern canoeing on the rivers in England has - with, perhaps, the exception of coracleing - been in pursuit of exercise and pleasure, rather than of fish or commerce. A few light canoes were to be met with, scattered along the banks of the Thames, chiefly at Eton and Oxford, for the last twenty or thirty years; but the earliest publicly recognized summer cruising abroad dates only from 1865, when the Rob Roy was paddled and sailed on the con tinental lakes and rivers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Across the Everglades: A Canoe Journey of Exploration If the reader has the patience and fortitude to follow me in my wanderings, he will perhaps find many preconceived and erroneous impressions of the character if Everglades dissipated. I have elsewhere stated the purpose of my winters work. It remains, then, only for me to thank those who have kindly aided me. I beg here to express my great indebtedness to my friend, Mr. H. M. Flagler, for the courtesies of his railroad and the special interest shown by him in the successful issue of my undertaking. I have also to thank Mr. J. I. Ingraham for loaning me the complete and interesting notes made by him during his own expedition. The vocabulary in this volume was greatly enriched by the use of that charming little book, "The Seminoles of Florida," by Minnie Moore Willson, enabling me to add much to my own stock of words.

Download or read book The Canoe and the Saddle written by Theodore Winthrop and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-16 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Canoe and the Saddle: Adventures Among the Northwestern Rivers and Forests; And Isthmiana Theodore Winthrop's celebrated romance of frontier adventure has been out of print for some years, but the frequent calls for a new edition, properly illustrated, testify to its abiding charm and value. In undertaking such an edition, I have felt that a book which seems destined to remain the chief classic of our early Northwest deserves most careful editing and very generous illustration. The reprint here presented, with its addition of the author's letters and journals, cover ing his entire stay on the Pacific Coast, and with illustrations selected from a wide field, will doubtless appeal to an even larger circle of readers than that which welcomed The Canoe and the Saddle on its first appearance, fifty years ago.
