| Abstract | The author wants to demonstrate the full cycle of one H2O molecule. A thorough discussion on the origin of our planet to the (unlimited) agricultural use of modern farmers is given. He explains, reviews and provokes. The content of this work and its place in literature relates to 'hot' questions around greenhouse gases, climate change and last but not least the role of water in the rise and fall of civilizations. This book is very useful for all those having a primary interest in earth sciences and a professional interest in water. |
