Waters of the World

The Story of the Scientists Who Unravelled the Mysteries of our Seas, Glaciers, and Atmosphere and Made The Planet Whole

Waters of the World takes you on a journey through the history of the Earth's climate system, from the glaciers of the Alps to the chaotic flows of the North Atlantic. Author Sarah Dry links the discoveries of pioneering scientists who studied water in all its forms, from volcanic peaks to storm clouds, to reveal how the Earth's climate is an interconnected and constantly changing system. This book explores how these scientists' cumulative discoveries led to the development of climate science, a field that has recently become the subject of great passions and anxieties. By uncovering the complexity of our planet's climate history, Waters of the World provides us with a better understanding of the urgent climate issues we face today.
