Why do we swim?
14.99 €
The only thing available 1
This gripping book about the benefits of water on the human body and mind is based on real-life stories, from Olympic champions to modern-day practitioners of the samurai swimming style Nihon Eiho to an Icelandic fisherman who miraculously survived more than six hours in freezing water. Regular New York Times contributor Bonnie Tsui has been a swimmer since childhood, and her personal experiences—from laps in the frigid waters of San Francisco Bay to swimming across Lake George on her engagement day—are the subject of equally gripping pages.
To find out why water, despite all its dangers, attracts us humans so much, and we strive to find ourselves in it again and again, Bonnie Tsui takes readers to ponds and lakes, to swimming pools and ocean spaces... She reminds us that humans evolved from creatures that inhabited the waters of the Earth millions of years ago, and that is probably why we are inevitably drawn to this element.
