It digs more deeply into the meaning and value of the sport than do how-to books or travel\/adventure accounts. Contributors include philosophers, academics from other disciplines, and others intimately involved in the sport. All share an abiding interest in sailing and the belief that it teaches profound life lessons to those who sail. They articulate the intense engagement people have with sailing craft and with the many different forms that sailing takes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book will enhance sailors' appreciation, and enrich their experience, of the sport. At the same time, philosophers will discover thought-provoking examples of the way that philosophical reflection comes to life when it is applied to the concrete activities to which people commit themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEditor\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePatrick Goold\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Virginia Wesleyan College.
