The Story of Water

'Alick Bartholomew has done a great service to us all by putting the fundamental issues of water so clearly and lucidly in front of us. His is a perfect guide to show us the way to put right our broken relationship with water. This is one of those rare books which brings science, spirituality and practicality in one integrated whole.'--Satish Kumar, Editor, Resurgence'In a single volume, by analysing and synthesising the insights of recent research into the qualities of water that best support life, Alick has taken us a step closer to answering that most fundamental of questions, 'What is Life?'!' --Chris Weedon, Co-founder The Water Association'Alick Bartholomew's new book: 'The Story of Water: Source of Life' is a passionate attempt to get us to stop taking water for granted and to give it the attention - and respect and even love - it deserves 'The Story of Water' covers just about everything that you would want, or need, to know about this most precious element. The book is encyclopaedic in scope, testament to Bartholomew's long and deeply-researched interest in the subject 'The Story of Water' remains a thought-provoking book which should be read widely.'--Paul Carline, New View, Autumn 2010
