About the Book
Water: A Visual and Scientific History by Jack Challoner explores the science, history and importance of water, from its origins in the birth of stars to its essential role in life on Earth. Combining scientific explanations with extensive visual material, the book presents water through chemistry, physics, biology, Earth science and climate.
The Science of Water
The book examines the structure and behaviour of water molecules and explores some of the unusual physical and chemical properties that make water so important. It looks at questions such as why ice is slippery and how water behaves in different forms and environments.
Challoner also explores the role of water in photosynthesis and evolutionary history, as well as its connection to weather and climate. Topics range from snowflakes and clouds to climate change, providing a broad scientific view of water and its influence on the natural world.
Water from Earth to Space
The book goes beyond familiar examples of water on Earth to consider the presence and possibility of water elsewhere. It looks at water beyond our own hydrosphere, including its potential presence on the Moon, other planets and in interstellar space.
