Extrait : "Les anciens avaient reconnu l'existence de l'air, et ils soupçonnaient son importance, puisqu'ils l'avaient placé au nombre des éléments ; mais ce n'est que dans les temps modernes, et même assez rapprochés de nous, que les savants ont pu spécifier ses propriétés, puis sa nature complexe, et enfin le rôle immense qu'il joue dans la vie des êtres organisés (végétaux et animaux).
John Cooper takes the reader on a fascinating journey along the towpath of the Grand Union Canal, which meanders through what is arguably one of the most picturesque stretches of inland waterway in the county.
The River Cherwell carves its way through a broad, deep valley that runs north to south, starting a few miles above the market town of Banbury and continuing down as far as the university city of Oxford, bending and twisting, meeting up sometimes with the Oxford Canal and parting company again as they reach the city outskirts.
