"Eastern Arctic Kayaks" is the product of years of kayak study by
two of the world's experts. Combining analyses of form and function
with historical background and illustrations of kayaking
techniques, this volume is a storehouse of information for
recreational kayakers and scholarly readers alike.
Drawing from his vast practical experience and extensive study of
museum specimens, John D. Heath offers a comprehensive overview of
the evolution and construction of Greenland kayaks supplemented
with an illustrated series of rolling and sculling techniques. E.
Arima examines kayaks of the eastern Canadian Arctic, covering
woodworking tools, construction techniques, and the treatment of
skins for the kayak cover.
Core chapters on Greenland and eastern Canada are accompanied by
essential articles by Greg Stamer on the use of the Greenland
paddle and two studies of kayaks in European museums by Harvey
Golden and Hugh Collings. A valuable excerpt from John Brand's
"Little Kayak Book" series makes this British publication available
to American readers for the first time.
Lavishly illustrated with drawings and historic photographs,
"Eastern Arctic Kayaks" is a landmark study in the history of
watercraft--an essential resource for recreational kayakers and
maritime historians and for anyone interested in northern Native
material culture.
