This fascinating book about the beneficial effects of water on the human body and mind is based on the stories of real people. These include Olympic champions, modern-day followers of the samurai style of nihon eiho swimming, and an Icelandic fisherman who miraculously survived after spending more than six hours in icy water. Bonnie Tsui, a regular contributor to The New York Times, has been swimming herself since childhood, and her personal experiences-from swimming in the frigid waters of San Francisco Bay to swimming across Lake George on the day of her own engagement-have made for equally compelling pages. To find the answer to the question of why water, despite all its dangers, is so appealing to us humans, and we long to be in it again and again, Bonnie Tsui travels with readers to ponds and lakes, swimming pools and ocean expanses.... She reminds us that humans evolved from creatures that inhabited the Earth's watery expanses millions of years ago, which is probably why they are inevitably drawn to this element.
