“I take a stroke and lean back, gazing up into the jet skies, bejeweled by the moon and the galaxies of stars. The hull glides in silence and with such perfect balance as to report no motion. I sit up for another stroke, now looking down as the blades ignite swirling pairs of white constellations of phosphorescent plankton. Two opposing heavens. ‘Remember this,’ I think to myself.”
Few people have ever considered the eastern United States to be an island, but when Nat Stone began tracing waterways in his new atlas at the age of ten he discovered that if one had a boat it was possible to use a combination of waterways to travel up the Hudson River, west across the barge canals and the Great Lakes, down the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico, and back up the eastern seaboard.

So, what kind of advice does he give in this book? Well, first I think it would be better to view this more as a handbook / toolkit than a book that you simply read left to right and front to back. But the pictures are beautiful and it does contain some good basic information.. AND A CERTAIN SOMEBODY WHO I CANNOT MENTION BECAUSE IT IS SECRET BUT OH MY GOODNESS I DON'T KNOW IF I EVER HAD SO MANY CONFLICTING FEELS BEFORE. Don't start this one if you have any important appointments to keep in the morning.
Update: It might not have been clear what was meant by different writing styles and looser legal research. What is also striking is how current and relevant the examination is, even with 40 years passing between the initial publication and today. That means that we don't get introduced properly to the persons. I'd highly recommend this book of you are looking for more information on the topic.. If you're pressed for time like I am, the lesson plans, quizze
