Munteanu, Nina. Water is…: The Meaning of Water. Vancouver: Pixl Press, 2016.
Internationally published author, teacher, and limnologist Nina Munteanu explores one of the most important—and mysterious—substances on Earth: water. Part history, part science, and part philosophy and spirituality, Water Is… combines personal journey with scientific discovery that explores water’s many “identities” and ultimately our own.
“We can’t live without it, so we should start respecting it; this beautifully designed book by a limnologist looks at water from 12 different angles, from life and motion and vibration to beauty and prayer.”
—Margaret Atwood, in the New York Times, “Year in Reading.”
Nina Munteanu served for several years as a senior scientist at various environmental consulting firms and agencies in British Columbia. She currently teaches writing at the University of Toronto.
