The most spectacular photographs ever created on the subject of water appear in this unparalleled science book by Walter Wick. The camera stops the action so young readers can observer what they could not otherwise see: a drop of water as it falls from a faucet or as it lands on a hard surface; water as a single snowflake; water captured as a rainbow, steam, frost, and dew. Evaporation, condensation, capillary attraction, and surface tension are explained through simple text and photographs that are as clear as they are amazing. The last pages of the book feature experiments that invite the reader into the world of scientific investigation.
