Book description
This book will be the subject of extended discussion by those those who have some relationship with the outdoors. Its explanation may also feature in class discussion when talking about explorers, their motivations and their enduring legacy.
Wakulla is volume two, a multi-volume narrative tale recounting the remarkable underwater expeditions of the Sleepy Lagoon diver and taxidermist, s Tim Harrower. It depicts his worldwide travels from Yaqui tribe "High Lake" on Mexico's Sierra Madre Mountains, to the delta of the Cumberland River in the United States. The former brave Yaqui princ Chan-La-Ke (literally meant "the person whose normal way is limping") now known to world aquarium fish keepers and marine biodiversity researchers as Wakulla. Over three continents and in over 70 biological provinces spanning five time zones, Wakulla includes a wealth of scarce as well as spectacular taxa never before critically appraised at the species level.
"There has been several spectacular, but, unfortunately short-lived books written about entry-level recreational diving, practical how-to volumes, and journalistic works about the fascinating range of aquatic biota encountered while touring the wilds of the world's oceans, lakes and rivers," explains the author, Munroe Kirk. "It just so happens that, I am on my personal quest to acquaint you, the reader, wholeheartedly with Wakulla and its fascinating population of phenomenal aquatic creatures."
The reviewer might point out that this commentary is tautologous. For it was exactly Kirk who chose and presented these picturesque examples of extimornental architecture and we visited these places. Future readers begin to experience another dimension of extraordinary life beneath the surface. As they read through Wakulla, they will often catch a glimpse into the eye of an experienced and vibrant character who embodies a fascination with something unspeakably beautiful and enchanting.
With the comparative win-win dual attributes of an objective narrative tome and a personal memoir fraught with intriguing anecdotes which stand up attractive in this relaxed reading, readers may find Wakulla a liberating antidote to the stress. Carefully immersed in sarcasm and graceful transitions from person to place, aerial photographs, family snaps and darkly lit taffer pictures they compel you to reibel some memories of your own escapades in Wakassa the New World. Engrossed as you are in Tom's narrative and nostalgick for all of his manly exploits in the gray zone between hazards and exquisite civilizations, it is hard not to agree with Kirk that Wakulla is an adventure story in equal parts about Harrower and about followers who roar along with him on his underwater safari, longing to visit remote corners of earth's erstwhile contingent that other disciplinary sciences and professions have neglected or overlooked.
