On their remarkable journey across the North American continent, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark's "Corps of Discovery" traveled almost ten thousand miles, about nine thousand of them on rivers. With an expert's eye, Verne Huser tells us what it was like to mount and carry out such an expedition. 52 photographs, 4 line drawings, map.
* 112 routes in rivers, streams, lakes, and bays in the Northwest * For paddlers of all skill levels * Maps, safety tips, equipment requirements, and a route comparison chart This uniquely comprehensive Washington paddling guidebook combines the best of three previous books--Paddle Routes of the Inland Northwest, Paddle Routes of Western Washington, and Washington Whitewater--into one volume. Detailed locator maps and instructions on safety are included, as well as appendices on equipment, map sources, and a useful route comparison chart for selecting the right trip level for any paddler. Paddling Washington covers water routes in western and eastern Washington, British Columbia, North Idaho, and Montana, and has enough trips to keep northwest paddlers busy for years to come.
A guide to white-water boating, with information on rivers in the United States and Canada, equipment, various types of inflatable craft, the routine of an expedition, and safety and emergency procedures.

This volume is the collection of papers presented during a four day meeting, the EMBO workshop "Protein Conformation as an Immunological Signal" that took place at Portovenere (La Spezia), Italy, October 1-4, 1981. The motivation that drove us to organize this meeting was the feeling that distinct groups of researchers, active in key areas of modern immunology, sometimes fail to communicate with each other simply because of different traditional affiliations. Yet it is urgent that "molecular" and "cellular" people cooperate more if immunology is to continue the exportation of new concepts to other disciplines. In fact, the deep meaning of molecule-molecule and cell-cell interaction, the generation of signals and their effective transmission which results in elicitation, control or suppression of responses cannot be unraveled without the experts on antibody structure or complement activation sharing their views with the experts on T cell, B cell and macrophage membrane receptors as well as the experts on factors that carry the information released by these cells. Whether the meeting was scientifically fruitful, the reader can judge after having digested these pages. We, the organizers, are not sure whether the optimal amount·of interaction had taken place; especially considering how hard it is to overcome the scientist's catch 22: You have to know something quite well before you get really interested in it. In any event, we are convinced that Portovenere was one of the most successful attempts we have witnessed.

In his lifetime Verne wrote dozens of novels, many of which are well known ("From the Earth to the Moon," "20,000 Leagues Under the Seas," "Around the World in Eighty Days," Etc.) while many others are not ("Off On a Comet," "The Voyages and Adventures of Captain Hatteras," Etc.). In addition to his novels he also wrote numerous short stories, some for publication in the magazines of the day and others to be published in small, inexpensive editions. Not to mention his plays. So we won't mention them except to say that one is included in this collection. This book is a small collection of a few of his shorter works-ones that have been translated into English-and are presented not as prime examples of the man's work but as historical documents. They are: In The Year 2889, A Voyage In a Balloon, Measuring a MEridian, The Pearl of Lima, Mr. Chimpanzee (a play) Dr. Triflegas: A Fantastic Tale, and An Express Of The Future. Enjoy!
