Veronica Strang's Water: Nature and Culture  digs into the rich history of human interaction with water, and is the first of its kind to give a comprehensive cultural view of water and history. Over three sections Strang looks at the physical properties of water, as well as the differences and continuities in humankind's relationship with water over the course of history. Water: Nature and Culture  is a unique account of water history, and the ways humans have interacted with water over time.
