About This Item
Touchstone Books, 1996. Trade paperback. Very Good. 88x8x135. The Book is in Very Good+ condition. With two slender sixty-pound kayaks, a ten-pound medical kit, twenty pounds of books, triple-digit temperatures, and no contact with the outside world, Jonathan and Deborah Waterman spent two months paddling through the violent tides and storms that define the mythically charged Sea of Cortes. Amid the lore and romantic past of the Baja they discovered that what began as a mutual exploration would soon become an unforgettable test of will. Exhilarating and lyrical, filled with images of death, beauty, and adventure, this paradisiacal journey depicts the past and present of a legendary body of water -- and the struggle of a man and a woman to find each other. Waterman is mostly known for his Northern explorations, detailed in many of his books and countless journals since 1978. Beginning in 2007, the rivers of the Southwest began to call, with an extended journey and National Geographic Society research projects. For two ambitious water and river conservation expeditions, he lectured extensively, produced a comprehensive river map and a photography exhibit, then published two books, Running Dry and The Colorado River. His awards include Three Banff Festival "Best Book Adventure Travel", Sigurd Olson Nature Writing Award 2005, NEA Literary Fellowship, Colorado State Council of the Arts Literary Award, The American Alpine Club Literary Award 1996, The National Park Service Special Achievement Award.
