Title: Water
Description: "Water is essential to human life and an important component of human history. Yet it is surprising how little attention it receives in historical accounts. Stephen Halliday's new book explores the beneficial and harmful effects of H[subscript 2]O throughout British history, looking at how scientists, inventors, engineers and politicians have attempted to harness the good and confront the bad."--Jacket.
