kayakers used their crafts," Heath chose to devote the bulk of his paper to describing the multitude of kayak rolling techniques. Heath's chapter along with Stamer's examination of Greenland paddle design and use and Petersen's discussion of kayak games and exercises are notable for their discussions of rolls, paddle maneuvers, and kayak exercises and these will be invaluable readings to those who wish to understand the Inuit kayaking tradition with an eye to putting such practices to their own use. These chapters are natural compliments to the historical studies of Golden, Collings, and Brand where the Greenland kayak, as seen in museum collections, is given context in terms of development and regional design differences. The Greenland section, therefore, presents a balance ofhistory and practical knowledge for the current-day kayaker. The section on the Eastern Canadian kayak, on the other hand, is limited to E. Arima 's paper and is devoted largely to kayak history, construction, and design. Readers familiar with Arima's outstanding scholarship will recognize elements from his previously published works. This section of the book, therefore, does not match the balance presented in the Greenland section and will have less value for kayakers. On the surface this may seem like a curious decision on the part of the editors and indeed it does create a book where the two sections live in an awkward symbiosis. Although the editors did not discuss their reasoning for this imbalance, it is surely more a result of the differences between the levels ofknowledge preserved in the two regions than due to editor choice. Arima's section would have greatly benefited by the addition of a chapter devoted to discussing the historical, cultural, and political dynamics that influenced differences in kayak knowledge preservation between the two regions. The reader could then appreciate why the section on Greenland could include much information on paddling techniques whereas this would be much more difficult, and perhaps not possible, for a section devoted to Eastern Canadian kayaks. Nevertheless, this chapter is an excellent compilation of Arima's knowledge learned over years of study. Arima included extensive transcriptions pertaining to hunting by kayak from Inuit interviews taken during the Igloolik Oral History Project and these make his chapter essential reading for any student of kayak history. Eastern Arctic Kayaks: History, Design, Technique includes kayak and paddle line drawings along with photographs that will benefit the historian and kayak designer. Chapter references will lead readers to many of the major writers on kayak history, design, and techniques and thus this book deserves to be on any library and personal shelf devoted to Arctic scholarship. In the final analysis, this book is a fitting symbol of John Heath's life, for it is both a history and kayaking manual and a tribute to a man who spent half a century championing the Inuit kayak in its full historical and contemporary contexts.
