Synopsis The Savvy Paddler by : Jim Stamm

A very practical guide, this book is written for the technically-minded person who enjoys learning and seeks a full understanding of kayak and paddle design as well as safe paddling. It offers great detail and a thorough set of rules, recommendations, suggestions, and tips covering all aspects recreational kayaking, including: The details of recreational kayak and paddle design. Choosing the kayak, paddle, PFD, clothing, and other gear. Rules all recreational kayakers must live by on lakes and rivers. Kayak paddling basics. Handling river dynamics and obstacles. Myriad recommendations for day-trip paddling on recreational water -- such as rivers through Class II, sheltered bays and lakes, flatwater, and close to shore on very calm, exposed water. Responsibilities for the leaders and each member of a river trip. Shuttling vehicles, people, and equipment before and after a trip. Carrying, transporting, maintaining, and storing your kayak. An extensive glossary of common kayaking and paddling terms. Intended for those paddling single-person recreational kayaks during day trips on recreational water, this book is for those new to kayaking as well as very helpful to experienced paddlers and therefore recommended for all recreational kayakers. Note that this book is not a step-by-step, how-to-kayak manual -- it is not intended to be. Nor does it come filled with glossy photographs. There are other books out there that do those things quite well. But this book does provide a good deal of instructional detail, complementing and supplementing other guides, filling in much additional detail and providing further very practical tips and recommendations. This book also incorporates some of the basic skills and knowledge from whitewater and sea kayaking as it applies to recreational kayaking. I believe you will find this book very helpful as it offers the essentials to protect yourself and those with you against the most common issues, providing solid, reliable recommendations, making your whole kayaking experience much safer and more enjoyable. You'll become quite the savvy paddler!

Synopsis Circling the Sun by : Paula McLain

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR, BOOKPAGE, AND SHELF AWARENESS • “Paula McLain is considered the new star of historical fiction, and for good reason. Fans of The Paris Wife will be captivated by Circling the Sun, which . . . is both beautifully written and utterly engrossing.”—Ann Patchett, Country Living This powerful novel transports readers to the breathtaking world of Out of Africa—1920s Kenya—and reveals the extraordinary adventures of Beryl Markham, a woman before her time. Brought to Kenya from England by pioneering parents dreaming of a new life on an African farm, Beryl is raised unconventionally, developing a fierce will and a love of all things wild. But after everything she knows and trusts dissolves, headstrong young Beryl is flung into a string of disastrous relationships, then becomes caught up in a passionate love triangle with the irresistible safari hunter Denys Finch Hatton and the writer Baroness Karen Blixen. Brave and audacious and contradictory, Beryl will risk everything to have Denys’s love, but it’s ultimately her own heart she must conquer to embrace her true calling and her destiny: to fly. Praise for Circling the Sun “In McLain’s confident hands, Beryl Markham crackles to life, and we readers truly understand what made a woman so far ahead of her time believe she had the power to soar.”—Jodi Picoult, author of Leaving Time “Enchanting . . . a worthy heir to [Isak] Dinesen . . . Like Africa as it’s so gorgeously depicted here, this novel will never let you go.”—The Boston Globe “Famed aviator Beryl Markham is a novelist’s dream. . . . [A] wonderful portrait of a complex woman who lived—defiantly—on her own terms.”—People (Book of the Week) “Circling the Sun soars.”—Newsday “Captivating . . . [an] irresistible novel.”—The Seattle Times “Like its high-flying subject, Circling the Sun is audacious and glamorous and hard not to be drawn in by. Beryl Markham may have married more than once, but she was nobody’s wife.”—Entertainment Weekly “[An] eloquent evocation of Beryl’s daring life.”—O: The Oprah Magazine
