YAOdysseys in Outdoor Adventures series.
These intriguing titles about outdoor activities are an odd mix of history and beginner tips for equipment, enjoyment, and safety. For instance, Hiking includes a discussion of proper footwear plus references to biblical pilgrimages and wanderings; Deep-Sea provides solid information on rods and lures alongside novel and movie plots. Colorful stock photos add appeal to the presentations, but readers will likely skip around these texts. Websites. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Odysseys in Outdoor Adventures titles: Camping, Hiking, Canoeing, Rock Climbing, Caving, and Deep-Sea Fishing.
