"This book is the natural outcome of the Rowing Masters' Conference at Beaumont, being composed of what was discussed at it, together with subsequent thought and research stimulated by it." - Preface. "Explores most of the relevant areas of scientific thought, in terms of the rowing situation, with the object of providing insight into the problems that situation poses; insight based on a sound foundation of knowledge of the behaviour of water, boat, oarsman and his eqiupment." - dust jacket. Name atop front free endpaper, otherwise book clean and bright with light wear. Average wear to dust jacket which is now preserved in archival grade Brodart. A quality copy of this fascinating study.
