Lynne Cox, adventurer and swimmer, author of Swimming to Antarctica (gripping--Sports Illustrated) and Grayson (wondrous, and unforgettable--Carl Hiaasen), gives us in South with the Sun a full-scale account of the explorer's life and expeditions. We see Amundsen, in 1903-06, the first to travel the Northwest Passage between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, in his small ship Gj a, a seventy-foot refitted former herring boat powered by sails and a thirteen-horsepower engine, making his way through the entire length of the treacherous ice bound route, between the northern Canadian mainland and Canada's Arctic islands, from Greenland across Baffin Bay, between the Canadian islands, across the top of Alaska into the Bering Strait. The dangerous journey took three years to complete, as Amundsen, his crew, and six sled dogs waited while the frozen sea around them thawed sufficiently to allow for navigation. We see him journey toward the North Pole in Fridtjof Nansen's famous Fram, until word reached his expedition party of Robert Peary's successful arrival at the North Pole. Amundsen then set out on a secret expedition to the Antarctic, and we follow him through his heroic capture of the South Pole. Cox makes clear why Amundsen succeeded in his quests where other adventurer-explorers failed, and how his methodical preparation and willingness to take calculated risks revealed both the spirit of the man and the way to complete one triumphant journey after another. Cox also describes reading about Amundsen as a young girl and how his exploits inspired","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49506673164561,"sku":"CIN0307593401G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49571219243281,"sku":"GOR006614063","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53576607138065,"sku":"CIN0307593401VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0307593401.jpg?v=1751071329"},{"product_id":"swimmiing-to-antarctica-book-lynne-cox-9780156031301","title":"Swimmiing to Antarctica","description":"\u003cp\u003eInternational Swimming Hall of Famer and Alex Award-winner Lynne Cox's classic sports memoir Swimming to Antarctica is \"a portrait of rare and relentless drive\" (Sports Illustrated).Here is the acclaimed life story of a woman whose determination inspires everyone she touches. Lynne Cox 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. In between those accomplishments, she became the first to swim the Strait of Magellan, narrowly escaped a shark attack off the Cape of Good Hope, and was cheered across the twenty-mile Cook Strait of New Zealand by dolphins. She even swam a mile in the Antarctic.Lynne writes the same way she swims, with indefatigable spirit and joy, and shares the beauty of her time in the water with a poet's eye for detail. And this paperback edition of Swimming to Antarctica expands upon the detail of her extraordinary atheleticism with exclusive photos and maps throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49508613095697,"sku":"GOR002062508","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49915263254801,"sku":"CIN0156031302G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50280607809809,"sku":"CIN0156031302A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50306273214737,"sku":"CIN0156031302VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50999560700177,"sku":"NIN9780156031301","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52108672565521,"sku":"GOR003626054","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52385045971217,"sku":"GOR003735433","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0156031302.jpg?v=1750907945"},{"product_id":"swimming-to-antarctica-book-lynne-cox-9780375415074","title":"Swimming to Antarctica","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49537546191121,"sku":"GOR013699091","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49567362351377,"sku":"GOR007183232","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49976189190417,"sku":"CIN0375415076G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50349680623889,"sku":"CIN0375415076A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51415745364241,"sku":"CIN0375415076VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52328986771729,"sku":"GOR014505910","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0375415076.jpg?v=1751391081"},{"product_id":"grayson-book-lynne-cox-9780307264541","title":"Grayson","description":"An early-morning workout becomes an enchanting adventure when a record-holding swimmer reunites a baby whale and its mother.

Lynne Cox is the author of 'Swimming to Antarctica', a memoir of her life as a swimmer. From the age of fourteen she has been breaking records for long-distance swimming, culminating in a mile-long swim in Antarctica, in zero degree-temperature water. When Lynne was 17, and on a training swim off the California mainland, she found herself swimming with a grey whale that had lost its mother. For the next seven hours, she swam with the whale - through pods of dolphin, and schools of sun-fish, between the pilings of a pier, and out to the base of an oil-rig, diving down as deeply as Lynne was able to, losing sight of the whale for minutes only to have it return and listen to its strange clicking and singing - in an increasingly desperate attempt to locate its mother. The whale was too young to survive by itself, and Lynne's account of the hours she spent swimming with it, and of the moment when they finally found its mother is remarkable.  Heartwarming, beautifully-written, atmospheric and sparkling with descriptions of the ocean and the behavior of the magnificent creatures that live in it, 'The Day the Whale Came' is an unforgettable story of human resilience and natural wonder.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49576506065169,"sku":"GOR003021371","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50973848666385,"sku":"GOR004756713","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0753821419.jpg?v=1751441698"},{"product_id":"elizabeth-queen-of-the-seas-book-lynne-cox-9780375858888","title":"Elizabeth, Queen of the Seas","description":"World-renowned swimmer and bestselling author Lynne Cox and Caldecott Medal-winning illustrator Brian Floca team up to bring us this inspiring story of an elephant seal who knew exactly where she belonged. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHere is the incredible story of Elizabeth, a real-life elephant seal who made her home in the Avon River in the city of Christchurch, New Zealand.

Lynne Cox is the author of 'Swimming to Antarctica', a memoir of her life as a swimmer. From the age of fourteen she has been breaking records for long-distance swimming, culminating in a mile-long swim in Antarctica, in zero degree-temperature water. When Lynne was 17, and on a training swim off the California mainland, she found herself swimming with a grey whale that had lost its mother. For the next seven hours, she swam with the whale - through pods of dolphin, and schools of sun-fish, between the pilings of a pier, and out to the base of an oil-rig, diving down as deeply as Lynne was able to, losing sight of the whale for minutes only to have it return and listen to its strange clicking and singing - in an increasingly desperate attempt to locate its mother. The whale was too young to survive by itself, and Lynne's account of the hours she spent swimming with it, and of the moment when they finally found its mother is remarkable. Heartwarming, beautifully-written, atmospheric and sparkling with descriptions of the ocean and the behavior of the magnificent creatures that live in it, 'The Day the Whale Came' is an unforgettable story of human resilience and natural wonder.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49604111204625,"sku":"GOR003748118","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50654192107793,"sku":"GOR009445892","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50690251686161,"sku":"GOR009727417","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0297851713.jpg?v=1750695999"},{"product_id":"tales-of-al-book-lynne-cox-9780593319376","title":"Tales of Al","description":"\u003cb\u003eFrom the author of \u003ci\u003eSwimming to Antarctica\u003c\/i\u003e (Thrilling, vivid, and lyrical--Oliver Sacks) and \u003ci\u003eGrayson\u003c\/i\u003e (Wondrous, unforgettable--Carl Hiaasen)--the moving, inspiring story of Al, the ungainly, unruly, irresistible Newfoundland puppy who grows up to become a daring rescue dog--part of Italy's elite, highly specialized corps of water rescue dogs who swoop out of helicopters and save lives.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLynne Cox, internationally famous for swimming the world's most difficult waterways without a wet suit, and able to endure water temperatures so cold that they would kill anyone else, recognizes and celebrates all forms of athleticism in others, human or otherwise.

Lynne Cox, adventurer and swimmer, author of Swimming to Antarctica (gripping--Sports Illustrated) and Grayson (wondrous, and unforgettable--Carl Hiaasen), gives us in South with the Sun a full-scale account of the explorer's life and expeditions. We see Amundsen, in 1903-06, the first to travel the Northwest Passage between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, in his small ship Gj a, a seventy-foot refitted former herring boat powered by sails and a thirteen-horsepower engine, making his way through the entire length of the treacherous ice bound route, between the northern Canadian mainland and Canada's Arctic islands, from Greenland across Baffin Bay, between the Canadian islands, across the top of Alaska into the Bering Strait. The dangerous journey took three years to complete, as Amundsen, his crew, and six sled dogs waited while the frozen sea around them thawed sufficiently to allow for navigation. We see him journey toward the North Pole in Fridtjof Nansen's famous Fram, until word reached his expedition party of Robert Peary's successful arrival at the North Pole. Amundsen then set out on a secret expedition to the Antarctic, and we follow him through his heroic capture of the South Pole. Cox makes clear why Amundsen succeeded in his quests where other adventurer-explorers failed, and how his methodical preparation and willingness to take calculated risks revealed both the spirit of the man and the way to complete one triumphant journey after another.

You no longer need to feel helpless in the face of difficult or painful circumstances. You no longer need to miss God's blessings for you and your loved ones. You can pray with power  Nothing is more powerful than God. With Activating God's Power we are praying God's Word to overcome and bring us the freedom only found in Christ. Activating God's Power is a must-read for anyone who wants to pray with strength and purpose. The faith produced from this book will lead to results, not just for ourselves but for the lives around us.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50373423857937,"sku":"CIN0931654858G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50373431296273,"sku":"CIN0931654858VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0931654858.jpg?v=1750884521"},{"product_id":"grayson-cd-9781598870558","title":"Grayson","description":"An early-morning workout becomes an enchanting adventure when a record-holding swimmer reunites a baby whale and its mother.

SHE WAS SWIMMING HER LAST HALF-MILE BACK TO THE PIER BEFORE HEADING HOME FOR BREAKFAST WHEN SHE BECAME AWARE THAT SOMETHING WAS SWIMMING WITH HER. THE OCEAN WAS CHARGED WITH ENERGY AS IF A SQUALL WAS MOVING IN; THOUSANDS OF BABY ANCHOVY DARTED THROUGH THE WATER LIKE LIT SPARKLERS, TRYING TO EVADE SOMETHING LARGER. WHATEVER IT WAS, IT FELT LARGE ENOUGH TO BE A WHITE SHARK COURSING BENEATH HER BODY. IT WASN'T A SHARK. IT BECAME CLEAR THAT IT WAS A BABY GRAY WHALE-FOLLOWING ALONGSIDE LYNNE FOR A MILE OR SO. LYNNE HAD BEEN SWIMMING FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR; SHE NEEDED TO GET OUT OF THE WATER TO REST, BUT SHE REALIZED THAT IF SHE DID, THE YOUNG CALF WOULD FOLLOW HER ONTO SHORE AND DIE FROM COLLAPSED LUNGS.
