Reflections on Canoeing, Camping, and Classic Equipment

Jerry Dennis has earned a reputation as one of the finest writers on nature and the outdoors in America today. Now in From a Wooden Canoe, he turns his attention to old passions and discovers new reasons to appreciate them.

This engaging collection explores the quintessential American sports of canoeing and camping and pays tribute to the things worth keeping, from wooden canoes to pocket knives to cast-iron skillets. At a deeper level, it is about respect--for our possessions, for the natural world, for ourselves --and about the pleasures of a life well spent.

From a Wooden Canoe is a celebration of the good things and the simple pleasures of life outdoors. It's a book to be treasured, to be read on winter evenings and rainy afternoons, and to be kept handy on a cabin shelf.

A Canoe Trip with the Gods

An adventurous voyage into the heart of Mesoamerica and an exploration of its spiritual geography. At the border of Mexico and Guatemala lies one of the most fascinating and least-known parts of the world, the cradle of ancient Olmec and classical Maya civilization. There the Usumacinta River and its highland tributaries form a tantalizing geographic unity that once undergirded the great achievements of the Maya. The man-made nucleus of the region's culture and spirituality was the canoe, the medium for the "Watery Path" connecting the sacred world with the earthly face of the cosmos. Christopher Shaw (a skilled canoeist and former whitewater guide) has traveled these rivers by canoe, penetrating to the heart of an ancient and awe-inspiring landscape, and--despite near-death in a rapid, the Zapatista uprising in Chiapas, and the murderous activities of drug lords along the river--he brings back to us a beautifully told and important tale. In a book that is a fitting heir to Bruce Chatwin's Songlines, Barry Lopez's Arctic Dreams, and Peter Matthiessen's The Snow Leopard, Shaw brings together the thrill of adventure travel with profound historical knowledge, the acute eye of a naturalist, breathtaking prose, and an intuitive gift for the spiritual resonances of the past to be found in earthly realities.

An Introductory Guide

Imagine pulling your canoe to shore at the day's end, cooking up a hearty meal, and lying back in your warm sleeping bag to watch the stars. 'There is the feel of a paddle and the movement of a canoe, a magic compounded by distance, adventure, solitude and peace...' wrote Sigurd F. Olson in The Lonely Land. The pleasures of the extended canoe trip are boundless - provided the canoe doesn't tip from improper packing, your campsite isn't flooded, and the canoe doesn't float away. In canoe camping, knowledge, not ignorance, is bliss. Kuhne offers all you'll need to know to enjoy wilderness outings by canoe with advice on gear packing, bear-proofing food, trip planning, and campsite selection. Additionally, eight pages of full-color photographs, lists of resources, recipes for sumptuous wilderness meals and Dutch-oven cooking, and tips on weather watching, first aid, safety, and traceless camping make Canoe Camping an indispensable guide. (6 X 9, 168 pages, color photos, b&w photos, illustrations)

One Summer Paddling Across the Far North

A thrilling journey by canoe across Alaska, by critically acclaimed writer Adam Weymouth.

The Yukon river is 2,000 miles long, the longest stretch of free-flowing river in the United States. In this riveting examination of one of the last wild places on earth, Adam Weymouth canoes along the river's length, from Canada's Yukon Territory, through Alaska, to the Bering Sea. The result is a book that shows how even the most remote wilderness is affected by the same forces reshaping the rest of the planet.

Every summer, hundreds of thousands of king salmon migrate the distance of the Yukon to their spawning grounds, where they breed and die, in what is the longest salmon run in the world. For the communities that live along the river, salmon was once the lifeblood of the economy and local culture. But climate change and a globalized economy have fundamentally altered the balance between man and nature; the health and numbers of king salmon are in question, as is the fate of the communities that depend on them.

Traveling along the Yukon as the salmon migrate, a four-month journey through untrammeled landscape, Adam Weymouth traces the fundamental interconnectedness of people and fish through searing and unforgettable portraits of the individuals he encounters. He offers a powerful, nuanced glimpse into indigenous cultures, and into our ever-complicated relationship with the natural world. Weaving in the rich history of salmon across time as well as the science behind their mysterious life cycle, Kings of the Yukon is extraordinary adventure and nature writing at its most urgent and poetic.

"Kings of the Yukon succeeds as an adventure tale, a natural history and a work of art."-Wall Street Journal

The Cruise of the Canoe Sairy Gamp

In 1883, journalist and outdoorsman George Washington Sears ("Nessmuk") paddled his 9-foot, 101/2-pound canoe, the Sairy Gamp, 266 miles through the central Adirondacks. A little over a hundred years later, author Christine Jerome retraced his journey in a Kevlar version of the Sairy. The result is a rich, eloquent narrative that weaves Nessmuk's story with Jerome's and intersperses Adirondack natural and cultural history. Book jacket.
