Reader's Review:
This book is THE book on river rescue. Get it, read it, practice it. Be careful and prepare for the unexpected.
The format is structured to allow the practitioner to start with the basics and gain knowledge as they go. River sense may not be a subject that can be taught, but this book will give you a head start.
