Selected as a Book of the Year by The Times and The Economist
China's history is an epic tapestry of courtly philosophies,
warring factions and imperial intrigue. Yet, over five thousand
years, one ancient element has so dramatically shaped the country's
fate that it remains the key to unlocking China's story. That
element is water. In The Water Kingdom Philip Ball takes us on a
grand tour of China's defining element, from the rice terraces and
towering karts of its battle-worn waterways, to the vast
engineering projects that have struggled to contain water's wrath.
What surfaces is the secret history of a people and a nation, drawn
from its deep reverence for nature's most dynamic force.
