Saving Sailing Book Now Available as eBook for Kindle, Nook, and other Devices

Aug. 8, 2010 - PRLog -- Milwaukee, Wis. – Saving Sailing is an appealing blueprint for the revival of family sailing and other uses of free time for rewarding lifelong pastimes.

In this provocative book, researcher and avid sailor Nicholas Hayes shows how pressures on free time have increased, and how, in response, many Americans have turned to passive spectator activities or highly structured activities . . . and away from lifelong, family-based recreational pursuits like sailing, fishing, and other quality experiences.

Saving Sailing offers advice to reverse these trends. The lessons are broader than sailing, with useful ideas for all parents and leaders involved in programming for youth and adult activities.

Now, this influential book (ISBN 978-1-933987-12-5) is available as an eBook, priced at $12.99. The print edition is also available at bookstores everywhere (softcover, 240 pp., $22).
