Acerca del autor: <p><b>Tao Berman</b> holds three world records, including one of the two world-record waterfall-descent records of 98.4 feet. He has also completed more than fifty first descents of rivers and was a Pre-Worlds champion for freestyle kayaking competition. He has starred in many extreme-sports videos and on TV programs, including <i>Dateline NBC</i>, CNN’s World Sports “Play of the Day,” and two episodes of Discovery Channel’s <i>Stunt Junkies</i>. He’s also been featured in <i>Sports Illustrated, Men’s Journal, Rolling Stone,</i> and <i>Maxim</i> magazines. Counting print, TV, and video exposure, millions of people view Tao every year. One recent program alone—the Teva Mountain Games coverage on Fox Television—was broadcast to 150 million households. He’s a public speaker sought by business audiences seeking lessons on risk taking and goal setting, and by schoolchildren keen to meet an extreme-sports celebrity. <i>Sports Illustrated</i> writes, “Berman is the best-known kayaker on the planet,” and <i>Rolling Stone</i> calls Tao the “world’s most extreme paddler.” <p>Pam Withers is a longtime whitewater kayaker and author of thirteen teen adventure novels, most of them best-sellers and three of them award nominees. A former editor at <i>River World</i> and <i>Adventure Travel</i> magazines and a popular public speaker, she has written for publications ranging from the <i>New York Times</i> to <i>McCall’s</i>.</p></p>
