Book Reviews of The Compleat Dr. Rowing
Book Review: Compleat indeed
Summary: 5 Stars
I was lucky enough to hear Dr. Rowing speak, and afterwards was able to pick up a copy of this. His humor and style make this a joy to read, while taking a look at many sides of rowing.
There are stories and ancdotes from all over, which are entertaining and informational. There are also many letters that have been written to him, so, much of the book is in Q&A format. These questions range from myth-busting to speculations, to situations, and everything inbetween.
Here is the table of contents, so you can imagine what may be in them:
Preface
The Legends
Port vs. Starboard
Coaches
Coxswains
Gluckman's Theorem
Strange Boats
Strange Folks
Head of the Charles
Joe Burk
Short Pieces
Mysteries
I have read it from cover to cover, many times, and will probably do so again. It is an excellent and enjoyable book, I highly recommend it.
Summary of The Compleat Dr. Rowing
The Compleat Dr. Rowing is a collection of the greatest hits from the popular Ask Dr. Rowing column in the Independent Rowing News. The Dr. answers questions pertaining to all things rowing, from "Did all of the members of that Japanese eight that rowed so high really die?" to "Why do oarsmen produce only daughters?" The Doctor's own particular brand of humor blends with factual and historical research.Humor Books
