Hardback. Zustand: Good. New York Times contributor Bonnie Tsui dives into our love affair with the water--from evolution to mythology, from survival and well-being, from community swim clubs to competitive races--and travels around the world to explore its significance in many cultures. "A fascinating and beautifully written love letter to water. I was enchanted by this book." --Rebecca Skloot, bestselling author of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks   We swim in freezing Arctic waters and piranha-infested rivers to test our limits. We swim for pleasure, for exercise, for healing. But humans, unlike other animals that are drawn to water, are not naturalborn swimmers. We must be taught. Our evolutionary ancestors learned for survival; today, swimming is one of the most popular activities in the world. Why We Swim is propelled by stories of Olympic champions, a Baghdad swim club that meets in Saddam Hussein's former palace pool, modern-day Japanese samurai swimmers, and even an Icelandic fisherman who improbably survives a wintry six-hour swim after a shipwreck. An immersive, unforgettable, and eye-opening perspective on swimming--and on human behavior itself. &nbsp.…
