The Art of ParaglidingReviewsgood technically for the beginers in this sport. the schematic grafics and drawings would be in colours. This book is a must for all beginner and intermediate pilots. Without doubt, its author is a master in paragliding and all the Physics related to it. The book is excellent, very well organized and with lots of drawings and illustrations to clarify all ideas. I only miss some more pictures and I wish they were in color, but this is a real minor issue and the book is really worth a 5 stars rate. The Art of Paragliding is a well-written, systematically structured introduction to paragliding for beginners and intermediate pilots . It is excellent background material for training courses. This book tells you all you need to know BEFORE your very first lesson. This is an excellent first textbook on paragliding. I received it after my first lesson (ground handling) and was amazed that it correlated 99% my instructor's approach. This is the definitive guide to paragliding. The standard warning always applies. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FLY A PARAGLIDER WITHOUT TRAINING FROM AN INSTRUCTOR. This is a very well written book that covers all of the topics of interest to beginner and intermediate pilots. The pick of the books on the subject. Average Rating:![]() |
