The art of paddling : an illustrated history - canoe, kayak, perissoire, SUP, surfski, outrigger, raft, dragon boat

"The work narrates the world of the canoe from antiquity to the present day, revealing a history largely unkonown even to the most passionate canoeists and framing all its expressions: types of canoes, geographical origins and methods of use; materials used, construction techniques and production sites; protagonists of explorations and extreme feats; events, races and champions."--
