Water, such a precious resource!
Following the success of the illustrated themed books Graines (2020, Prix Saint-Fiacre 2021) and Arbres (2022, Prix P.J. Redouté and Coup de cœur du jury du Prix Émile Gallé 2023) co-published with Plume de carotte and Terre vivante, here is the book that will set the benchmark on the subject of water.
EAUX Tous les savoirs, toutes les histoires, tous les pouvoirs, tous les espoirs… has been written by two journalists and an oceanographer-biologist who is an expert in popularising documentaries on the marine world. With Eaux, these three authors have explored every discipline to offer a cross-disciplinary approach that provides an enlightened vision of the vast subject of water.
Biology, chemistry, physics, energy, geography, history, economics, society, politics, travel, anthropology, religion, technology… But also art, literature, imagination and beauty. Each aspect is covered in a series of double-page spreads with almost encyclopaedic knowledge and a style halfway between popularisation and journalism.
Readers will find plenty to learn and marvel at, as the world of water is full of surprises. Pick out the subjects along the way, immerse yourself in the explanations and let yourself be captivated by the photographic, cartographic and iconographic illustrations and other historical documents.
This is a timeless and unique book for all those who are curious, scientists, historians, explorers, fishermen and sailors.
On our blue planet, water powerfully shapes the landscape. Water is essential to life as we know it. In this large illustrated book, contemplate the wonders of the aquatic environment. Immerse yourself in the fascinating history of the construction of civilisations. Discover how water, which affects our daily lives, is a major topic in the news, the object of covetousness and even water wars.
Discover the knowledge, know the stories, understand the stakes and powers, grasp the prospects and hopes.
