"Discover the beauty and diversity of vessels from around the world. In Boats, elegant excerpts of poetry and prose complement more than 75 full-color photographs of barges, skiffs, sailboats, and schooners of international waterways. From the harbors of Chile to the canals of Venice, from the rivers of Kenya to the lakes of Peru, Boats takes you on a breathtaking journey and the voices of the poets and novelists who have traveled in each of the profiled countries are your guides, from America's Mark Twain to Chile's Pablo Neruda."--Provided by the publisher.
