Anthropologists, environmentalists, psychologists, and scholars of religion weigh in on the spiritual dimension of water, as oceans, seas, rivers, pools, drinking fountains, and other forms. Among their perspectives are the fertility goddess of the Zulu, the flow of dance in Oceania, Rachel Carson and numinous experience between land and sea, and the neglect and reclamation of water as sacred resource. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Company.
