Reviews
"A remarkable story, that contains much that is so deeply human in terms of our relationship to the natural world and our own inner nature. Beautifully written, not only with refreshing honesty, but also with deep humility in the face of enormous courage and privation, this is truly an inspiring and authentic endeavour." Wayne Lynch, "Beamish craves high-risk challenges that require no one else. This first book describes his pinnacle experience to date: building/single-handing a shockingly small craft deep into Baja with deftly explained waterman sensibilities, and observations, and coastal natives who can only see his going for fun to their place of life and death, as an anomaly." Steve Pezman, . . . honest (at times, brutally so), entertaining . . . , and as rich with ego-less introspection as it is with sensually arresting descriptions of Mother Nature and her many moods. In short, . . . a colorful and humanistic case study of the daily struggle between reconciling ideals and the hard truths of reality. -- The Santa Barbara Independent "Christian Beamish's solo, motorless, and totally impractical journey dazzles. In prose as smooth as morning glass, he reminds us of the value of 'blood memory,' and the wisdom of solitude." Jamie Brisick, "Christian Beamish's solo, motorless, and totally impractical journey dazzles.

- 4***h (75)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseVery pleased with this purchase! Happy to have the extra copies of the out-of-print, older versions of this grammar curriculum. The workbooks were a great value with FREE shipping, as well! Liberal use of packing tape to reinforce seams is recommended, as the box did arrive split open on one end due to the sheer heaviness of the books and the rough handling during shipment. Thankfully, no books were lost, and they arrived in nice, clean condition, as described. Seller is highly recommended!!
