Featuring stunning photographs by "prep" guru F. E. Castleberry, among others, Rowing Blazers is a visual feast, transporting readers to the highly atmospheric boathouses, campuses, and team rooms of clubs around the world. This new edition features eight additional clubs, including the University of Tokyo and its top rival, Waseda University, and Row New York, a nonprofit organization stressing academic achievement as well as rowing prowess.
