This book is excellent! Inspiring and educational - it details a man and a business that was founded in love of the great outdoors. I learnt so much from this book - it gives a lot of technical details about fabric construction - using recylced poly and the pioneering of their own fibres that are more ethically responsible for the environment. Chouinard is a champion of the environment and his story (of Patagonia) bears testimony to how we can make a ethically responsible product and influence those around us.
thanks for your comments Chantal. I have ordered it so look forward to reading it.
Just having finished reading this business autobiography, I am inspired and in awe about this man and his company. His honest passion, compassion and love of the active outdoor lifestyle is something I can identify with; I would strive to follow his example, even in just some of the issues he succesfully addressed.
Have you read it yet jaqui?
Hey Anja

Loved it and highly recommend it to others
