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 any-
one interested in science and culture related to water, from laymen to students and decision-makers.
