Boomerangs is a book describing how to make and throw these ancient and mystical weapons from hunting cultures around the world, with dozens of designs, including curved stick, cross stick, pinwheel, boomabird and tumblestick.
One summer passion is to go out on the front lawn or in the park and play with boomerangs, but what do we really know about boomerangs?
This low-tech weapon/toy that descends of primitive peoples and times when knowing how to make tools on your own and being able to rely on ones own ingenuity made the difference between life or death?
Boomerangs are fun to throw, fun to make and when done correctly, with responsibility, can become an important lesson in both human history and self-reliance, for everyone.
For those who enjoy fun on the lawn in summer, the confection of a boomerang could be the exact activity.
