Reviews
Copyright 1985 Reed Business Information, Inc.
The authors are commercial rafting guides who have tested the most challenging stretches of remote wild rivers around the world. This book brings together their accounts of rafting such exotic waterways as the Apurimac and Bio-Bio of South America, the Zambezi and Omo of Africa, the Indus of Asia, and the Colorado and Tatshenshini of North America. The text is substantial, with historical surveys of each river in addition to accounts of hungry crocodiles, grizzly bears, and tipping over. The photos are striking. They show as much of the people who live along these rivers as they do of brightly colored inflatable rafts. With rafting very much in vogue, this should be popular in public libraries.
