A SCIENTIST'S EXPLORATION OF WATER'S UNEXPECTED PROPERTIES. Gerald Pollack presents a scientific exploration of water that challenges conventional understandings of its behavior and proposes a fourth state beyond the familiar forms of solid, liquid, and vapor. Drawing from chemistry, physics, biology, and laboratory research, Pollack examines the structure of water and the role it may play in natural processes and biological systems. Combining scientific discussion with accessible explanations, The Fourth Phase of Water introduces readers to Pollack's research on water structure, surface interactions, and the physical properties that he argues have been overlooked in traditional models. Physical Description: Trade paperback, 10 inches tall. 357 pages. Illustrated throughout. Condition: Fine. No Flaws or Blemishes but minimal shelf handling; Still Gift Quality. SCIENTIFIC SIGNIFICANCE - REEXAMINING THE NATURE OF WATER. Water has long been central to scientific investigation because of its unusual physical and chemical properties. Pollack's work examines the possibility that water possesses structural characteristics beyond the traditional three states commonly taught in introductory science. The book represents a modern example of scientific inquiry aimed at expanding existing models and encouraging discussion about the behavior of water at molecular and biological interfaces. SUBJECTS: Water Science, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Molecular Structure, Scientific Research, Gerald Pollack, Scientific Theories, Natural Phenomena, Scientific Inquiry, Environmental Studies.…
