Synopsis

Part history, part science and part philosophy and spirituality, "Water Is..." combines personal journey with scientific discovery that explores water's many identities and ultimately our own. Written by internationally published author, teacher and limnologist Nina Munteanu.
"We can't live without it, so maybe we should start respecting it; this beautifully designed book by a limnologist looks at water from 12 different angles, from life and motion and vibration to beauty and prayer."--Margarat Atwood, German literary Peace Prize winner and author of The Handmaid's Tale."What an astounding journey! The author uniquely combines the merits of a scientist with those of a writer with an artistic spirit. It is a joy to be taken by the insightful and elegantly written chapters to so many and so different scientists, philosophers, writers, artists and pioneers of wisdom such as Leonardo da Vinci, Albert Einstein, or Paul Feyerabend, who declared war on the dogma of the scientific method."--Michael Jacobi, physicist, Institute of Flow Sciences, Germany."This book leaves me impressed. From science to science fiction, from philosophy to religion, from history to fairytale, the role of water is illustrated and illuminated. Water is probably the best investigated and least understood substance on this world, yet we still don't know how to describe it in a better way than calling it H2O. This book tries to zero in on the missing part, the great unknown of water, and it does it in a very intelligent and charming way."--Elmar C. Fuchs, scientist, WETSUS Program Manager, Netherlands."Kudos to Nina Munteanu for sharing her deep wisdom, experience and knowledge of humanity's greatest natural resource! As Leonardo da Vinci said, "We forget that the water cycle and the life cycle are one," We forget at our own peril and so I am deeply grateful for this book by so highly qualified an author."--Elisabet Sahtouris, evolution biologist, author of Gaia's Dance, the story of Earth and Us."An adventurous, surprising and inspiring book that could not feel more timely. The writing swept me away on a journey through history, landscape and our entire universe, yet brought me back home in the end with a fresh perspective on the significance of water."--Emmi Itaranta, author of Memory of Water."A sumptuous collection of treasures...from the basics of matter itself to the social and spiritual aspects of this substance, which touches our lives so much and is still not really understood."--B. Kroeplin, scientist, author of World in a Drop, Germany
.               "Water Is... a treasure trove of insights. How wonderful to see water fro so many different perspectives in one very enjoyable book! I will be dipping in for many years to come."--Tristan Gooley, New York Times bestselling author of How to Read Water."If you don't want to read all those other books on water, just read this one."--John Stewart, Mississauga News, Ontario, Canada
