They represent a legacy that could be lost without an effort to preserve them. Not only that, they often represent memories for a lot of us. Some of the guides I publish are created from my own personal copies, such as my Green Monster that travelled with me through the swamps of Parris Island during boot camp.” Dr. David PowersAbout the editor-Dr. David Powers is an adventurer, philosopher, and pioneer and lives a life of constant experimentation.
