A detailed and well-illustrated history of tents is contrasted with the very latest tension structures and camping equipment in the nicest tent book I’ve had the pleasure to see. There’s a good discussion of camp tents, and a not especially comprehensive buyer’s guide to get you started. I like books such as this one because there isn’t any cause being pushed, yet there is a certain hard-to-resist insistence that the reader accept the basic ideas. In this case you are asked to agree that a tent can be a good home. In a day when a “low-cost” house is $150,000 by the time the mortgage is paid, there will be more and more interest in tension structures. This is a good place to start getting used to the idea.
