Water and Dreams: An Essay on the Imagination of Matter (Bachelard Translation Series)

Rating:
Summary: diving deep into the water of life
Review: Bachelard's book, one of the best ever written about the nature of water, was an early inspiration for both my own research and writing. There is much in the pages of Water and Dreams to be of interest to any practitioner of water management and to any student conerned with how we regard life's very essence. I quoted Bachelard 6 times in own work Deep Immersion: The Experience of Water, nominated for top enviromental book of the year in 2003. Other works worth consulting include Schwenk's Water, the Element of LIfe, Illich's H2O and the Waters of Forgetfulness, and Sprawson's Haunts of the Black Masseur.
