In Now in Paperback, Lynne Cox has added photos and maps to her acclaimed life story, which inspires everyone she touches. Lynne started swimming almost as soon as she could walk. By age sixteen, she had broken all records for swimming the English Channel. Her daring eventually led her to the Bering Strait, where she swam five miles in thirty-eight-degree water in just a swimsuit, cap, and goggles. Lynne's accomplishments include the Strait of Magellan, Cape of Good Hope, Cook Strait of New Zealand, and the Antarctic. Lynne writes about her time in the water with a poet's eye for detail--with indefatigable spirit and joy--and shares the beauty of her accomplishments with a poet's eye for detail.
