Beautiful copy, unsigned - Like New

A great story of two Canadian Ski Champions, published by Twinski Publications.

As a ski reporter for the Montreal Gazette in the 1940s, I watched Rhona and Rhoda win race after race. They were truly phenomenal as they tamed the wildest hills. But I knew nothing of their later lives until I read this book. It led me to further admiration as I learned how the twins overcame many hardships and brought up, between them, seven children, all of whom have had outstanding careers. The book is much more than a chronicle of sporting achievement; with its revealing sidelights it is also a valuable contribution to the social history of Canada in the Twentieth Century: - William Weintraub.

Hardcover: VG/VG

Rippling with verve, this fourth collection of essays culled from the latter half of Quammen’s tenure as a columnist at Outside magazine (1981-1996) displays yet again how dexterously he fulfilled his monthly mandate “to demonstrate that evolutionary biology, theoretical ecology, and the incisive contemplation of nature can provide piquant entertainment for people in dental waiting rooms.” Among his obsessions this time around are spiders and snakes, sperm and (somewhat more equivocally) eggs; reflections of nature in the eyes of artists and writers (the title alludes to Albrecht D?rer’s woodcut of a rhino armored like a feudal German knight, one of the world’s first mass-produced images); and durian, a thorny yellow-green fruit the size of a rugby ball, which “smells like a jockstrap” but yields a pulp that’s “creamy and slightly fibrous, like a raw oyster that’s been force-fed vanilla ice cream” and that envelops another recurring motif: the nutmeg.
