Epic insight into our connection with water
Love this book and now have it in digital and hardback formats. It is hugely insightful and provides a glimpse into how and why we feel so much more "at home" by, in and on water. Presented in the format of research data and beautiful narratives, I am excited to see where the next chapter of Dr Nichols work takes us... Opening with wise words from J. Cousteau and closing with a compelling invitation from
Dr Nichols to simply "get in the water..." This book can most definitely swim and like water through cracks in the earth it's ideas have the power to be truly & positively pervasive of our hearts and minds. It is both artful and scientific, I hope to see it make it's way into the hands & lives of all who value ecology and wellbeing of self, others and our blue planet.
