Impey Barbicane thought of making the greatest cannon of them all.
A powerful cannon not for war, but for peace, made to shoot not the
enemy, but the surface of the moon. "Peace, peace at last! But now
no one needs cannon-makers anymore... and I love my job and know
how to do it well. If only there were cannons for peace, I could
make them better than anyone..." Those were Impey Barbicane's
thoughts, as he was staring at the moon... which gave him a
brilliant idea: he would make the greatest cannon in the world, a
cannon that would expand the human knowledge! Made not to fight the
enemy but to launch a shell to the surface of the Moon! Indeed,
that would be the cannon of peace!

Concept Development and Scientific Editing: Despo Fatta-Kassinos
The book was inspired by the scientific work carried out by the
research group of Nireas International Water Research Center
(Nireas-IWRC) at the University of Cyprus in the field of
wastewater treatment and reuse. The work is led by Dr. Despo
Fatta-Kassinos, who is an Associate Professor at the Department of
Civil and Environmental Engineering and Director of Nireas-IWRC.
The group worked together with Antonis Papatheodoulou, one of the
Greece's best children's storytellers, and developed an interesting
educational adventure through which children can understand the
vital role of water in life. There is increasing recognition of the
power of children's early thinking and learning, as well as a
belief that science may be of particular importance in early
childhood, contributing not only to the future scientific
understanding of children, but also to building important skills
and attitudes for learning, establishing high levels of scientific
literacy and strengthening scientific inquiry. Educating the young
generation and increasing awareness on various aspects of the water
cycle and wastewater reuse was the motivation for the development
of 'The Secret Handbook of the Blue Circle'. Six Water Scientists,
who are defenders and protectors of the most important substance on
the planet (i.e. water), Dr. Tom Atom, Dr. Celia Circle, Dr. Scot
Water, Dr. Glow McCrystal, General Claire Clean and Dr. Andre
Antib, are looking for helpers to become new members of their
'Eternal Blue Circle Society'. The eight Secret Chapters of the
book, include among others: knowledge on what water is, its
chemical structure and properties, its cycle, its uses and its
significance, water scarcity, a historical retrospective of a
city's water supply from antiquity to date, the typical treatment
processes applied for the production of drinking water, the water
pollution caused by traditional pollutants and contaminants of
emerging concern, the processes applied in wastewater treatment
plants, and the presence of such contaminants in the environment.
The mission of the members of the 'Eternal Blue Circle Society' is
to carefully study contaminants of emerging concern and protect
water and nature. Suitable for children of six years and upwards,
the book also outlines simple ways in which the children can
contribute to the protection of water quantity and quality and
raise awareness on the topic themselves.
