Reviews
"What could bemore audacious an act than the attempt to tell the entire 10,000-year story ofswimming in a single volume? But that is exactly what Howard Means's SPLASH! aims to do. SPLASH! is an exuberant and sweeping culturalhistory of the sport and a thoughtful meditation on its possible origins andhumankind's larger relationship to water itself. From the firstevidence of swimming in Middle Eastern desert cave art to "aquatic heroism" inancient Roman warfare, to a visit with the uber-stars and superhuman speeds ofthe 21st century--Means takes us on a breezy, easily readable journeyacross time and space to help us even to begin to understand why we took to thewater in the first place and why we still insist on splashing about in it today. A great gift for the swimmer in you or in your life."-- Julie Checkoway, New York Times bestselling author of The Three-Year Club

Synopsis
Choose a stroke and get paddling through the human history of swimming! From man's first recorded dip into what's now the driest spot on earth to the splashing, sparkling pool party in your backyard, humans have been getting wet for 10,000 years. And for most of modern history, swimming has caused a ripple that touches us all--the heroes and the ordinary folk; the real and the mythic. Splash! dives into Egypt, winds through ancient Greece and Rome, flows mostly underground through the Dark and Middle Ages (at least in Europe), and then reemerges in the wake of the Renaissance before taking its final lap at today's Olympic games. Along the way, it kicks away the idea that swimming is just about moving through water, about speed or great feats of aquatic endurance, and shows you how much more it can be. Its history offers a multi-tiered tour through religion, fashion, architecture, sanitation and public health, colonialism, segregation and integration, sexism, sexiness, guts, glory, and much, much more. Unique and compelling, Splash! sweeps across the whole of humankind's swimming history--and just like jumping into a pool on a hot summer's day, it has fun along the way., Choose a stroke and get paddling through the human history of swimming From man's first recorded dip into what's now the driest spot on earth to the splashing, sparkling pool party in your backyard, humans have been getting wet for 10,000 years.

Unique and compelling, Splash sweeps across the whole of humankind's swimming history--and just like jumping into a pool on a hot summer's day, it has fun along the way., A lively, sweeping history of one of the world's most popular activities--swimming--from man's first dip in what is now the driest spot on earth to the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo Swimming is a long thread that connects the Olympic heroes of today with the real and mythic ones of the past across more than ten millennia--a recorded history that begins in a cave in the Egyptian desert and sweeps across athletes and poets, statesmen and emperors, humans and gods; across the whole human experience, the entire human story. Splash weaves a 10,000-year-old tale that begins in a bone-dry cave in the remote southwest corner of Egypt, winds its way through ancient Greece and Rome, flows mostly underground through the Dark and Middle Ages, and then reemerges in the wake of the Renaissance before ending on the runway of the 2020 Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo--where, critically, swimming will once again be among the most high-profile of all events. But swimming is also about more than itself, more than simply moving through the water, more than speed or great feats of aquatic endurance or the terror of the bottomless deep. It's part of the churning continuum of time--part of history, part of life. Stretch "swimming" out to its largest dimension, and its history offers a multi-tiered tour through religion, fashion low and high, architecture, sanitation and public health, colonialism, segregation and integration, sexism, sexiness, guts, glory, and much, much more. Unique and compelling, Splash sweeps across the whole of humankind's swimming history, and has fun along the way.

I ordered the Narrative of the Incas but received a different book. However, this book I received has turned out to be incredible, so I don’t mind at all. I did reach out to the seller but have not heard back. Was irritated at first but thanking the universe for the change in plan…love the book.
