Birmingham Alabama : Menasha Ridge Press 1999. 292 pp 4to approx. 11" H. Profusely illustrated with b&w maps and photographs. "When veteran paddlers Bob Sehlinger and Don Otey set out to write a canoeing and kayaking guide to the streams of Georgia they discovered that the project was beyond the scope of the average paddling guide. The result of their explorations therefore is not a single comprehensive detailed and authoritative guidebook to the streams of Georgia but two such books. Each guide is immense in scope and self-contained with extensive introductory chapters that provide an easy-to-read overview of Georgia's diverse wildlife geology climate and water quality as well as illuminating explanations of stream formation and hydrology. Each book contains sections on the legal rights of paddlers and emergency procedures and is illustrated with drawings and photographs. Each stream is detailed with a description that conveys the flavor and difficulties of the run in non-technical terms. This description is supplemented with a data sheet that contains an abundance of technical information. Rounding out each description are detailed river maps showing access points shuttle routes and mileages." This volume which covers Southern Georgia is "A detailed guide to the streams of Georgia's western Piedmont and Coastal Plain with special chapters on the Okefenokee Swamp and the Georgia sea coast." Interior - small soft crease at top corner of a few pages small curl at bottom corner of last few pages otherwise clean and tight with no other ownership marks.

"The bulk of the world's cruising fleet emanates from non-coral areas and carries out most of its crui sing within coral waters.

Tangye Nigel.
THE INCONSTANT SEA: A CORNISHMAN'S CHRONICLE.
London: William Kimber 1976. 192 pp 8vo 8 3/4" H. "The sea in all its moods is the compelling theme of Nigel Tangye's new book; with its beauty and its cruelty it is everlastingly fickle. By combining his own encounters with the sea with graphic reconstructions of bygone adventures and disasters the author makes yesterday's events living experiences. His 'Spray of Glendorgal' setting out from Falmouth is no more safe and no less exhilarating than 'The Neptune Buss' in 1756 or the smack 'Porth'; a difficult passage in his own boat recalls the finally triumphant saga of the 'Terra Nova' in 1688 so nearly a total wreck and kept afloat by the determination of her crew. And his own ancestor Richard Tangye was a passenger on the liner 'Parramatta' going from London to Sydney in 1879 and beguiling the journey with the amusing incidents related to the ship's serio-comic newspaper 'The Parramatta Sun'. Finally the great 'Warspite' is wrecked in Mount's Bay and revisited by the author who had first trod her decks as a naval lieutenant twenty years before. Past and present episodes are all woven into a hauntingly beautiful pattern." Minor edge wear light wrinkling at top/bottom of spine tiny bump at top edge of both boards one page with dog-ear crease light waviness to edges of textblock. Dust jacket price clipped has light edge wear/wrinkling - mainly at top/bottom of spine and flap-folds a few tiny/very small edge tears light rubbing light fading to spine color. . First Edition.

Simpson Housley Paul.
THE ARCTIC: ENIGMAS AND MYTHS.
Toronto: Dundurn Press 1996. 144 pp 8vo 9" H. B&w maps. "Seeks to provide illustrations of Arctic mysteries and fictions which often occur as a result of misconceptions of Arctic geography. The chapters are extremely varied in subject matter and conclusions are in the domain of speculation. The book begins with very early examples of northern travels starting with the probable adventures of Pytheas the Greek Brendan the Irish monk and the four medieval odysseys of Adam of Bremen Nicolas of Lynn Prince Henry Sinclair and Zeno of Venice. The next chapter addresses misconceptions of polar environments especially illusory land and visualization of mermaids and mermen. In addition the book deals with polar myths such as the open polar sea which existed only in people's minds but nevertheless had great influence on navigation and exploration. No account of polar enigmas would be complete without reference to the Franklin expedition the possible fate of his lost ships and the debate over whether his men committed cannibalism. The book concludes with a deliberation on whether Cook or Perry acutally did reach the North Pole hinting that perhaps neither of them reached their objective." Interior - clean and tight with no previous ownership marks. Exterior - very minor edge wear. Soft Cover. Near Fine. Dundurn Press Paperback

In this personal memoir Priscilla Endicott chronicles the intense year she spent in Germany studying the principles of dressage with master trainer Walter Christensen.the book presents a colorful view o f t h e r e m arkable world of international dressage and competition. Of primary importance are the relationships that affected the writer: her connection with her teacher her horse the apprentices the riders and other folk with whom she cam e i nt o cl o se c on tact. An inextricable part of the author's education was cultural. Through her eyes we learn how the teaching of dressage and the German cultural spirit are mirror images each reflecting the other."

SONGS OF THE SEA: THE TALES AND TUNES OF SAILORS AND SAILING SHIPS.
McGraw-Hill Maidenhead 1977. 198 pp small 4to 10" H hard cover in dust jacket. ISBN 0070311382 Profusely illustrated in b&w and colour with reproductions photographs musical notation. "Life was short brutal lonely and joyless for the 'jolly tar' except for strong drink women - and the solace of song. So he sang: short rhythmic onomatopoeic chants to time his backbreaking work at capstan and halyard the famous 'shanties'. Or longer ribald or forlorn ditties for idle moments called 'forebitters' after the metal bollards on the fo'c's'lehead. He sang bravura songs when outward bound; yearning sexier songs for the homeward reach; warning songs of pirates press gangs and faithless maidens; and songs of admiration for the likes of such sailors as 'Bold MacCarteney'. And here they are the authentic words and music of more than a hundred sea songs and chants in half a dozen languages. Some are as old as the mists of time some as new as the great steel-hulled four-masters in the nitrate runs of the 1890s. To describe and interpret that history the book begins with an illustrated look at the sailors' varied machines: ships brigs barks schooners sloops and so on - and their marvelously complex riggings. There is a handy glossary of terms and vernacular and many clear explanations of customs and language from the above-mentioned forebitters to the gruesome 'Nelson's Blood' and the ever-present 'Armstrong's Patent' - the muscle power that made everything go. The sailor's skills dress pay superstitions drink food - and loves - are clearly described and pictured. There are anecdotes galore: stories of shanghaiing and mutiny shipwreck and cannibilism storms and tropical isles. Every song is translated into English and cleaned up a bit where necessary and accompanied by a brief history of its origins and its travels from country to country. But try singing the original words in French or Dutch or even Swedish or Norwegian if only for their wonderful rhythms." Previous owner's small stamp on front pastedown very small bump to corners of boards. Dust jacket has light wrinkling at top/bottom of spine and flap-folds minor edge wear. Very Good/Very Good.
