Kayaks of Alaska

A comprehensive history of the use and development of these vessels -- the book includes seventy-six drawings of historic kayaks, and ninety-one scale drawings of historic paddles. The work also uses many other sources to provide necessary context to understand the form, construction, function, and evolution of kayaks. This work not only explores the cultural relevance of kayaks, but takes an in depth look at the dimmensions and complicated construction of these vessels.
