A heartfelt hymn to the sea and an unforgettable introduction to
one of the most gifted nature writers of the new generation The
seas cover over two thirds of our planet and yet most of us live
our lives on land, creatures of a different element, at once
fascinated and terrified by the beauty and power of these great
bodies of water. There are some, though, who go to sea, who get to
know its many moods -- the tranquil and mirror-like, the raging and
ripple-swept -- and who bring back with them their stories of
wonder and warning. Hannah Stowe is one such sea-goer and one such
storyteller. Drawing on her expertise as a marine biologist and
sailor, and her experiences in the North Sea, the North Atlantic,
the Mediterranean, the North Sea, the Celtic Sea, and the
Caribbean, Move Like Water is an exploration of the human
relationship with the sea, the powerful impression it has made on
our culture, and the terrible damage we have inflicted upon its
ecosystems. In shimmering, fluid prose, Stowe introduces us to five
keystone marine creatures - the sperm whale, the humpback whale,
the orca, the albatross and the firecrow - encouraging us to fall
in love with the seas as she has, to appreciate their majesty and
their vulnerability.
