William Alexander is not just a Francophile, he wants to be French. It`s not enough to explore the country, to enjoy the food & revel in the ambience, he wants to feel French from the inside.

Setting out to conquer the language he loves (but which, amusingly, does not seem to love him back), Alexander devotes himself to learning French, going beyond grammar lessons & memory techniques to delve into the history of the language, the science of linguistics, & the art of translation.

- MAP TITLES: the grids shown on our website serve both the civilian & the military 1:50, 000 topographic series. Although the areas covered by maps in both series are identical (apart from some border or coastal sheets), occasionally map titles differ – only one title is shown on the grid, usually the military one. In Galicia, the Basque country & in the Catalan speaking areas the tendency now is to use local place names rather than the often better known Castilian ones. Where possible, both versions are included in our titles. Map titles listed on our website are based on information received by us at the time of publication, but sometimes maps arrive showing a completely different title! As long as the map number is as ordered, the correct map has been supplied.

This is one man`s journey, swimming across Britain`s countryside & immersing in the sometimes icy waters while coming to terms with something more challenging than the choppy waters of the English Channel. As Joe Minihane comes up for air, he discovers that swimming is both a joyous activity & a voyage into oneself. Minihane became obsessed with wild swimming & its restorative qualities, developing a new-found passion by following the example of naturalist Roger Deakin in his classic Waterlog. While fighting the currents, sometimes treading water, Minihane begins to confront the buried issues in his life. Along the way, he rekindles old friendships & forges new ones, & after an unexpected setback discovers that he has already gained enough strength to continue his recovery on dry l&. Both strange & beautiful, the wild water puts him in touch with nature & himself. Floating is a remarkable memoir about a passion for swimming & nature. Moving from darkness into light, it is as intense & moving as it is lyrical & generous. It captures in memorable detail Minihane`s struggle to understand his life, to move forward &, steeped in the anti-authoritarian & naturalistic spirit of Deakin, celebrates the joy of taking time to enjoy life. From Hampstead to Yorkshire, & Dorset to Jura, from the Isles of Scilly to Wales, Minihane has written a love letter to wild stretches of water. We swim with him through ponds & lakes, rivers & canals, lodes & marshes, even the ice-cold sea & come out of the water healthier. Review: Lovely, lively, passionate... a celebration of nature`s ability to inspire healing & joy` -- Robert Mac Farlane, author of Landmarks `I love this book... this has to sit next to Waterlog in every swimmer`s library` -- Jenny Landreth, author of Swell: A Waterbiography ` Minihane writes with a compulsive honesty & clarity that draws you into its stream as beguiling as any river Deakin ever swam
- a wonderful read. Highly recommended!` -- Kate Rew founder of the Outdoor Swimming Society `A wonderful book: a love letter to wild swimming, a hate letter to anxiety & a story of how we can learn to live with ourselves, our overclocked minds, even after we climb out of the water` -- Joe Dunthorne, author of Submarine
