This beautifully illustrated book explains how water influences our
culture; the many phases of water from ice to gas, its simple but
still so unpredictable nature, and water resources on Earth; how
water is distributed in ice, oceans, rivers, lakes and more; how it
creates transport possibilities; how it produces and absorbs
energy; how it is constantly changing the surface of the Earth; how
there is enough water on Earth, yet sometimes there is too much or
too little; the role of water in recreation; and how water supplies
us with food in a myriad of ways. Few things are like water - a
subtle and thought-provoking element, so simple and yet
complicated, so conspicuous yet unpredictable, so soft and peaceful
yet powerful, and so universal yet unique. Water is by far the
world's largest commodity. Though it belongs to all of us, it is
still not shared by all. We very seldom take time to reflect on the
many ways that water affects our lives. Though it would be too
ambitious to believe that it claims all the meanings and roles of
water, this book, by showcasing water's versatility and by sharing
the experiences and insights gained by the two authors during their
many travels across the globe, contributes to a greater awareness
of the most important substance in our society - water. The book
offers an insightful and intriguing read for anyone interested in
science and culture related to water, from laymen to students and
decision-makers.
