โ€˜On Time and Waterโ€™

Extraordinary and original, ON TIME AND WATER helps us to rethink time and climate through travel, science, history and myth. It allows us to imagine ourselves into a disconcertingly close future. It offers ideas, reflections and solutionsโ€ฆand, in a remarkable postscript on how the world stopped for COVID-19, it offers hope.
