From the Inside Flap

Book Review by Jean-Michel Cousteau

Every successful expedition demands a certain degree of humility - after all, an operation that took several months and thousands of dollars to prepare can be doomed by the lack of a single spare 0-ring. Steve knows this from experience, and gets down into often unglamorous, but always essential nitty-gritty details on which all glory depends. He's not afraid to editorialize on his favorite product or brands or to overstate the obvious - production values, money, even lives may depend on it. The book is built for quick and easy reference, even in the field. After reading this book, even the novice would be well prepared to meet the challenge of expedition.
