Water may seem ordinary – it pours from our taps and falls from the sky – but you would be surprised at what a profoundly strange substance it is. Without its rebel behaviour, though, none of us would exist. Alok Jha will change the way you look at water – it has shaped life on earth, and connects you and everyone else to the birth (and death) of the universe.
“This is a story that will connect you, via one strange molecule, to everyone and everything else in the universe”
"It delights again and again because, as in all the best science writing, the tale is stranger and more curious than one could ever imagine." Stephen Curry, the Guardian.
"Alok Jha is one of the brightest young science writers around...He belongs to a select band of science communicators, and knows his science at a deep level and can put it across." Peter Forbes, The Independent.
"Get used to mysteries: water is dripping with them." Rose George, the Guardian.
