N2  - A devotee of whitewater rafting for many years, Kuhne provides a well-rounded introduction to this exciting leisure activity. Starting with a look at what grips people who catch the "river fever," he deftly leads interested readers through the basics of the rafting experience. The no-nonsense chapter headings-"Equipment," "Safety,"-tell it all. Included are pretrip checklists and an excellent rundown of classic whitewater rafting spots in this country. A glossary of river and rafting terms is also included. As with so many books of this type, no one will ever learn "how to do it" just from reading, but a work of this quality gives prospective participants a good overview of the sport and is a handy reference as well. A worthwhile and inexpensive public library purchase where interest warrants. David M. Turkalo, Suffolk Univ. Law Sch. Lib., Boston Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.    www.shelfari.com
