Water

A Spectacular Celebration of Water's Vital Role in the Life of our Planet

Hans Silvester
Bernard Fischesser
Marie-France Dupuis-Tate


Water occupies three-quarters of our world’s surface area.
Silvester’s spectacular photographs are among the most sublime images of water ever gathered in one volume. Authors Bernard Fischesser and Marie-France Dupuis-Tate discuss the scientific properties and sources of water in a series of chapters which reflect on water as the sculptor of the landscape, and deliver a powerful environmental message about the dangers of polluting the Earth’s water supply. Their essays and Silvester’s images offer a rhapsodic appreciation of this elusive, omnipresent, ever-changing and indispensable substance that forms and animates life on earth.

Hans Silvester is the author of more than eighteen photography books, among them Lavender Country of Provence and Cats of the Greek Islands - also published by Thames & Hudson. Bernard Fischesser is one of France’s leading experts on landscape management. Marie-France Dupuis-Tate, an engineer, holds a doctorate in ecology.
