Today, I need to offer praise for the Dewey Decimal
System. In today’s electronic world, any
information is a few mouse clicks away.
If you want to find a book or get a book suggestion, that is pretty easy
as well and can be downloaded right to your e-reader.
I found myself in the position to be browsing at the
library. I had to return a few books,
there was nothing on hold for me and the girls were busy in the kids
section. I did a couple of searches for
scuba related books and requested a couple from different libraries within the
Jeffco Public Library system. Then I got
the clever idea to just browse what my library had in 797.23 (underwater
swimming).
I stumbled across “The Last Dive” by Bernie Chowdhury and
completely sucked in to the story of Rouss family and their introduction to
sport diving. The first 100 pages of the
book have given a great background on diving, including history, types of
diving and the dangers of diving deep as well as diving in caverns and
wrecks. I am not sure what the rest of
the book has in store, but I certainly would only have found the book through
dumb luck.
