H2O: The Beauty and Mystery of Water

Humans can live for quite a while without food, but we cannot live long without water. Featuring more than 200 gorgeous photographs by Hans Silvester and crystal clear text by scientists Bernard Fischesser and Marie-France Dupuis-Tate (coauthors of The Illustrated Guide to Ecology), H2O: The Beauty and Mystery of Water is both a celebration of water's indispensability and magnificence and a timely declaration of concern for our polluted oceans, lakes, rivers and streams and what we must do to save them. Readers will be drawn to this coffee-table book because of its beauty, but they will be captivated by its plainspoken message. ( July)
