Not many books available on this subject (probably best to learn from an instructor anyways). I was looking more for a book that would help me move through moderate rapids in my (14') jack-of-all trades kayak. This book is exclusively focused on the much smaller, special-purpose whitewater boats, so some of the information in it was useful to me, whereas other techniques don't translate to a larger boat.
