"A former editor of the British magazine Nature, Ball is also a born teacher who will stop at nothing to help you feel, see and understand his subject....But for the hard science of water, as well as a sustained, bravura performance by a gifted explicator, LIFE'S MATRIX is well worth dipping into."
Dennis Drabelle, Washington Post, 07/23/2000
Review:"Ball's prose is lively, and he renders the most arcane-sounding phenomena, like planetesimals and Milankovitch cycles, understandable."
Christine Kenneally, New York Times Book Review, 12/10/00

Book Description: The University Press Group Ltd, United States, 2001. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 229 x 152 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. One of the four elements of classical antiquity, water is central to the environment of our planet. In "Life's Matrix", Philip Ball writes of water's origins, history, and unique physical character. As a geological agent, water shapes mountains, canyons, and coastlines, and when unleashed in hurricanes and floods its destructive power is awesome. Ball's provocative exploration of water on other planets highlights the possibilities of life beyond Earth. "Life's Matrix" also examines the grim realities of depletion of natural resources and its effects on the availability of water in the twenty-first century.
