| The Canoe in Canadian Culture |
| ||||||
| Edited by James Raffan & Bert Horwood |
| Fifteen reflective essays by several of Canada's best known canoeists and wilderness thinkers, exploring the significance of the canoe and the canoeing experience in the Canadian psyche. "... a book for paddler and non-paddler alike. It whisks the reader into the wilderness ... pondering the significance of one of the simplest of all crafts." Canadian Geographic "The writers in Canexus bring different perspectives and abilities to these essays, but all of them reinforce the idea of the canoe as an ancient, echoing symbol; one that can illuminate our place in the north like no other." M.T. Kelly Winner of the Governor General's Award for Literature "An intelligent person's guide to the place of the canoe in the Canadian culture and psyche ... exciting, like fast whitewater and spray in your face." Fred Bodsworth "This book is cause for celebration because of the canoe, and because it is created by writers who are, themselves, enthusiastic paddlers." Kirk Whipper Founder, Kanawa Canoe Museum |
