Trickle and Flow

A book about water in as many of its declensions as the autor has been able to bring together. Its life and its death (chapters 1 and 11), its role in human life and human civilization (chapters 2 and 3), the place of the oceans in the scroll of history and water in warfare (chapters 5, 6 and 7), and the hold of water on the human imagination (chapter 10).
