The book, "The Laugh of the Water Nymph" was printed in 2005 and is available. It contains 22 adventure stories, from jungle rivers that disappear underground and cast off huge waterfalls, to glacial rivers running through the wilderness of northern Canada.
     There are 30 pages of wild and beautiful photographs with extremely high quality printing. The book was voted “One of the best outdoor books of the year” by the National Outdoor Book Awards. Reviews and comments are available in many outdoor magazines and chatrooms. Some are listed below.
     A second book, “Whitewater Philosophy” can be ordered. It is composed of 30 of Doug's essays and articles. Any river runner or water person will find these thought-provoking and enlightening, no matter what his or her level, and no matter what kind of kayaking, rafting, fishing, or canoeing they do.
