Description

An urgent, evocative collection of writings celebrating the source of all life: freshwater, our most precious resource.

Dive into the depths of a Berlin lake, journey from the Thames to the banks of the Nile, and meet Black Mary, the keeper of a lost 17th-century healing well in London. Featuring great writers including Vandana Shiva, Rebecca Solnit, Ocean Vuong and Lucy Jones on ecological despair and resilience, privatisation, pollution and beauty.

These are the vital myths and memories that flow through water.
