Jacket protected in New , non-stick, clear mylar sleeve ... Excellent Gift Giving quality ... 208 pages with index ... illustrated with photos by Jeff Divine & reproductions of original posters, handbills & memorabilia ... Foreword by Steve Pezman of The Surfer's Journal, with contributions by Jeff Divine, John Severson, LeRoy Grannis, Ron Dahlquist, Rick Griffin, Greg Noll, Doc Ball & more ... Surfing is not just a sport; it's a pop-culture phenomenon that conjures up images of chiseled, bronzed daredevils dancing over the waves under a brilliant Southern California sun ... Surfing has created legends, while seizing the spotlight in every aspect of beach culture, in movies, in fashion, and in music ... Surfing epitomizes youth, adventure, rebellion, and the drive to do things a little differently ... Once reserved for royalty and a few risk-takers in Hawaii, California, and other "remote" parts of the world, surfing has clearly become a part of our culture no matter where we live - not to mention an industry that generates $15 billion a year ... Surfing has evolved from its mystical beginnings in Polynesia, where it was valued as noble, positive, and deeply imbued with spiritual meaning but condemned by critics (mostly religious conservatives) who considered it "pagan, immoral, and corrupting." ... And we've come a long way from pre-World War II days, when Hawaii was as remote as Timbuktu; when itchy wool swimsuits and heavy hardwood surfboards were the norm ... We've matured since the 1950s and 1960s, with their trendy popularity - the culture and fashion, the movies and music, from Gidget to the Beah Boys and those bushy blond hairdos - to today, when the glitz of sophisticated marketing campaigns and media-savvy surfers are de rigueur ... Yet, through the years, surfing has maintained its reputation as a refuge for non-conformists; the often below-the-radar individualistic lifestyle defies a dry chronicle neatly tied up with a bow ... A comprehensive history of the sport by Ben Marcus, a man who lived it and who knows and loves it like nothing else, 'Surfing USA!' is anything but dry; it truly captures the glamour and excitement of this extreme sport ... If you're still in awe of theat first surfboard, still stoked by hanging ten, or still dreaming of that elusive wave, then this book is for you ... Marcus's lively narrative is complemented by an extensive variety of art that includes fabulous period images ( vintage postcards, album covers, movie posters, and more) and colorful current photographs of srfers in action ... More than 250 illustrations were selected especially to add to your enjoyment of this remarkable sensation ... " Surfing USA ! ...

Dark blue textured cloth over boards, illustrated on front and spine with Gold gilt titles , in Glossy color photographic jacket ... This fascinating and detailed book by the legendary Chic Scott follows the evolution of mountain climbing in Canada - from the west coast , to Quebec - from the Yukon , to the Rockies - as it has unfolded during its 200 year history from the early 1800s to the late 1990s ... The building of the CPR , the Canadian Pacific Railroad , across the vast wilderness of Canada , and the subsequent hiring of Swiss guides for tourists by CPR hotels in the early days, ushered in the glory years of the first ascents of some of Canada's spectacular mountains ... At the turn of the 20th century, British and American climbers of leisure were hampered by the difficulties of travel through the Canadian wilderness ... After World War II , immigrants from Europe succeeded in pushing the limits on the rock walls, while American superstars led the search for frightening new routes on the big north faces ... The end of this era saw a new development in world mountaineering by British expatriates in Canada - waterfall ice climbing ... More recently , the growth of sport climbing, both on the crags, and in the gyms, has brought the sport within reach of mainstream society ...

	WALKER, WICKLIFFE W. Tsangpo - Tibet's Forbidden River , a Whitewater Expedition on - Courting the Diamond Sow Washington: NG Pub, 2000. First Printing. Hard Cover in Dust Jacket.

Jacket protected in New, non-stick clear mylar sleeve ... Gift Giving quality ... 252 pages ... illustrated with 8 pages of glossy photographs ... It has been called the Everest of the whitewater world. However, unlike Everest, the Tsangpo River in Tibet has yet to be explored and charted. No other place in the world possesses more drama than the magnificent series of gorges that house the Tsangpo. Looping around the eastern anchor of the Himalayan Range, cutting the deepest canyon on Earth, and emerging more than nine thousand feet below on the plains of India, the Tsangpo is a geographical riddle that has fascinated Western explorers since 1926 when botanist F. Kingdon Ward described it as one of modern exploration’s greatest challenges.In 1998, a world-class, four-man paddling team attempted to make history by becoming the first to navigate a remote, 140-mile stretch of the river. But when one of the men - renowned chemist and kayak racer Doug Gordon - fell victim to the lethal strength of the river’s current, their expedition was abruptly abandoned. Gordon’s remains were never found, and the mystery of the Tsangpo endures. Here is the complete, never-before-told story of the ill-fated expedition. Wick Walker’s Courting the Diamond Sow is an enthralling epic, featuring the kayakers’ firsthand diary accounts as they passed through the gorges, fascinating insights into this enigmatic corner of the world and the attempts to explore it, and 16 pages of dramatic, full-color photographs. "Wickliffe Walker's dramatic and authoritative insider's account of the 1998 Tsangpo expedition, from its inception to its tragic conclusion, will surely thrill anyone who has ever dreamed of exploring one of this planet's last great geographic enigmas" - Bob Gedekoh, Editor, American Whitewater ...

Jacket protected in New , non-stick, clear mylar sleeve ... Excellent Gift Giving quality ... 208 pages with index ... illustrated with photos by Jeff Divine & reproductions of original posters, handbills & memorabilia ... Foreword by Steve Pezman of The Surfer's Journal, with contributions by Jeff Divine, John Severson, LeRoy Grannis, Ron Dahlquist, Rick Griffin, Greg Noll, Doc Ball & more ... Surfing is not just a sport; it's a pop-culture phenomenon that conjures up images of chiseled, bronzed daredevils dancing over the waves under a brilliant Southern California sun ... Surfing has created legends, while seizing the spotlight in every aspect of beach culture, in movies, in fashion, and in music ... Surfing epitomizes youth, adventure, rebellion, and the drive to do things a little differently ... Once reserved for royalty and a few risk-takers in Hawaii, California, and other "remote" parts of the world, surfing has clearly become a part of our culture no matter where we live - not to mention an industry that generates $15 billion a year ... Surfing has evolved from its mystical beginnings in Polynesia, where it was valued as noble, positive, and deeply imbued with spiritual meaning but condemned by critics (mostly religious conservatives) who considered it "pagan, immoral, and corrupting." ... And we've come a long way from pre-World War II days, when Hawaii was as remote as Timbuktu; when itchy wool swimsuits and heavy hardwood surfboards were the norm ... We've matured since the 1950s and 1960s, with their trendy popularity - the culture and fashion, the movies and music, from Gidget to the Beah Boys and those bushy blond hairdos - to today, when the glitz of sophisticated marketing campaigns and media-savvy surfers are de rigueur ... Yet, through the years, surfing has maintained its reputation as a refuge for non-conformists; the often below-the-radar individualistic lifestyle defies a dry chronicle neatly tied up with a bow ... A comprehensive history of the sport by Ben Marcus, a man who lived it and who knows and loves it like nothing else, 'Surfing USA!' is anything but dry; it truly captures the glamour and excitement of this extreme sport ... If you're still in awe of theat first surfboard, still stoked by hanging ten, or still dreaming of that elusive wave, then this book is for you ... Marcus's lively narrative is complemented by an extensive variety of art that includes fabulous period images ( vintage postcards, album covers, movie posters, and more) and colorful current photographs of srfers in action ...

Dark blue textured cloth over boards, illustrated on front and spine with Gold gilt titles , in Glossy color photographic jacket ... This fascinating and detailed book by the legendary Chic Scott follows the evolution of mountain climbing in Canada - from the west coast , to Quebec - from the Yukon , to the Rockies - as it has unfolded during its 200 year history from the early 1800s to the late 1990s ... The building of the CPR , the Canadian Pacific Railroad , across the vast wilderness of Canada , and the subsequent hiring of Swiss guides for tourists by CPR hotels in the early days, ushered in the glory years of the first ascents of some of Canada's spectacular mountains ... At the turn of the 20th century, British and American climbers of leisure were hampered by the difficulties of travel through the Canadian wilderness ... After World War II , immigrants from Europe succeeded in pushing the limits on the rock walls, while American superstars led the search for frightening new routes on the big north faces ... The end of this era saw a new development in world mountaineering by British expatriates in Canada - waterfall ice climbing ... More recently , the growth of sport climbing, both on the crags, and in the gyms, has brought the sport within reach of mainstream society ...

Jacket protected in New, non-stick clear mylar sleeve ... Gift Giving quality ... 252 pages ... illustrated with 8 pages of glossy photographs ... It has been called the Everest of the whitewater world. However, unlike Everest, the Tsangpo River in Tibet has yet to be explored and charted. No other place in the world possesses more drama than the magnificent series of gorges that house the Tsangpo. Looping around the eastern anchor of the Himalayan Range, cutting the deepest canyon on Earth, and emerging more than nine thousand feet below on the plains of India, the Tsangpo is a geographical riddle that has fascinated Western explorers since 1926 when botanist F. Kingdon Ward described it as one of modern exploration’s greatest challenges.In 1998, a world-class, four-man paddling team attempted to make history by becoming the first to navigate a remote, 140-mile stretch of the river. But when one of the men - renowned chemist and kayak racer Doug Gordon - fell victim to the lethal strength of the river’s current, their expedition was abruptly abandoned. Gordon’s remains were never found, and the mystery of the Tsangpo endures. Here is the complete, never-before-told story of the ill-fated expedition. Wick Walker’s Courting the Diamond Sow is an enthralling epic, featuring the kayakers’ firsthand diary accounts as they passed through the gorges, fascinating insights into this enigmatic corner of the world and the attempts to explore it, and 16 pages of dramatic, full-color photographs. "Wickliffe Walker's dramatic and authoritative insider's account of the 1998 Tsangpo expedition, from its inception to its tragic conclusion, will surely thrill anyone who has ever dreamed of exploring one of this planet's last great geographic enigmas" - Bob Gedekoh, Editor, American Whitewater ...
