The photographs in the book illustrate the dichotomy of our
relationship with water—the role it has in ancient religious
rituals and in building communities, to its exploitation and the
devastating result of too little or too much water. They depict
Hindus bathing in the Ganges, shellfish-gatherers in coastal Spain;
polluted sea surrounding oil infrastructure in Baku, Azerbaijan;
fishermen in Greenland navigating melting ice in the ocean;
landscapes transformed to dustbowls by drought in South Africa and
to villages made into islands by flooding in Bangladesh. It is was
not Berry’s intention to make a political book, nor an
authoritative catalogue of mans’ interactions with water, but
instead to share the most memorable stories from his assignments
that illustrate how water shapes our lives and what the future may
hold.
