Water is the stuff of life, none of us would be here without it. But what can we learn from it? Take a plunge into the big blue, to discover the life lessons water has to teach you.

The Marvellous Manner of Water explores our connection to water, its molecular make-up and its spacey beginnings. The book describes the affect water has on our lives through the water cycle, erosion, and the water inside our bodies. There are also two pages dedicated to dinosaur pee.

Prehistoric pee-pee aside, this book is ultimately about our relationship with water – and how a better understanding of water can give us a better understanding of life.
