The Water Book: A Compendium of Facts and Fables for the Modern Reader

What is it, about water, that makes it both the world’s most mystical and yet the most practical substance? From baptism to bathing, from washing cars to washing hands of guilt, from hot water to firewater, water plays a central role in life. Yet, we have taken it for granted. Why? The Water Book is a wild but literate ride through the world of water: facts, fiction, lyricism, exultation, humor, and a cast of characters guaranteed never to have been seen before on the printed page. With plenty of first-rate stories and lots of thought-provoking humorous drawings by the author, The Water Book aims to entertain as it enlightens. The reader may never look at water the same way again! In this book, water defies description whether depicted in fiction or non-fiction pieces.
