Description:
|
|
In GRAVITY SPORTS, the author of the award-winning book, MOUNTAIN RESCUE DOCTOR (St. Martin's Press), takes us on a series of sports adventures in which sheer human power combines with harnessing the awesome power of nature to propel him up mountains, down rivers, through forests and across oceans. Van Tilburg follows the seasons, kayaking in the snow, bike riding in the mud, running in torrential rain. By day an emergency physician, he is also an emergency wilderness physician who rescues people who are lost or in danger. Dr. Van Tilburg's tales of emergency wilderness were chronicled in MOUNTAIN RESCUE DOCTOR. That same grit, determination and search for a high that comes from overcoming all kinds of crazy obstacles comes to play in these remarkable tales.
