Dragon Boats - A Celebration, by Pat Barker

Dragon boat racing Originated in Third Century B.C. China and has become a fast-growing athletic event around the globe. In Canada, The United States, Britain, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Japan, and many other countries, festivals and fairs attended by thousands have sprung up to celebrate dragon boat culture. A quarter of a million people turn out annually in Toronto to watch dragon boat racing. Four hundred teams compete in Sweden. Dozens of towns up and down the Mississippi River race against one another. And every year in Hong Kong, Singapore, London, Berlin, New York City, Vancouver, and Sydney, major festivals showcase an impressive cavalcade of sport, dance, cuisine, craft, and ritual, all of which this book brings to splendid life.

Magnificent full-color photos, hard cover.
