1.		The Hidden Messages in Water from Beyond Words Publishing Price: $5.75 Customer Review: As much as my psychology methodological training would force me to rake this book over the coals, I'm RESISTING. For so many decades we have been working on the ideas of how our internal cognitive psychology affects our choices, lives, chemicals, reactions.. and the list goes on. Now, health fields... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		The Healing Power of Water from Hay House Price: $8.98 Customer Review: This is a very informative book. It contains both readable information and scientific research results. Because we are a very high percentage of water, we can see how our own negativity can produce illness within us. It is a must read for anyone who is working on self-improvement.

3.		Exploration of the Colorado River and Its Canyons (National Geographic Adventure Classics) from National Geographic Price: $7.85 Customer Review: John Wesley Powell lost his right arm at Shiloh, in the Civil War battle of 1862. As Wallace Stegner says of him, in his excellent book, "Beyond the Hundredth Meridian,": "Losing one's right arm is a misfortune; to some it would be a disaster, to others an excuse. It affected Wes Powell's life about... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		The Avalanche Handbook from Mountaineers Books Price: $10.00 Customer Review: This is a great book that covers all the aspects required to understand avalanche safety and the elements of knowing what areas will avalanche. Great book!	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		Elemental Geosystems from Prentice Hall College Div Price: $0.99 Customer Review: Originally, I was accidentally sent the wrong book. The seller informed me of the mistake, and I agreed to send it back after receiving the wrong one, and then I would be fully reimbursed. The day I received the incorrect book I paid for the fastest shipping and informed the seller that I ABSOLUTELY... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		Unquenchable: America's Water Crisis and What To Do About It from Island Press Price: $17.37 Customer Review: Glennon carefully documents the many elements of the nation's inefficient water system that are setting the stage for a potential future calamity. . . . In the book's most interesting chapters, the author describes the many interrelated uses of water, illustrating a complexity that exceeds the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		The Outlaw Sea: Chaos and Crime on the World's Oceans from Granta Books Price: $9.93 Customer Review: Well written and full of interesting anecdotes, The Outlaw Sea is a fun read. Especially revealing about ship breaking, an activity about which I was totally ignorant until I read this book. But after all, what is there to do with ships that have reached the end of their useful life?	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		A World Without Ice from Avery Price: $8.96 Customer Review: This book was clearly written for the layman. My guess is that it is aimed at those who either doubt that man-made global warming is happening, or those who are trying to convince such people that it is happening. Those who are already familiar with the reality of anthropogenic global warming may... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		Flotsametrics and the Floating World: How One Man's Obsession with Runaway Sneakers and Rubber Ducks Revolutionized Ocean Science from Smithsonian Price: $11.95 Customer Review: Fans of writing will struggle with this book, because extracting meaning from Dr. Ebbesmeyer's banal, cliched prose is nearly impossible. The most tangible information in this text consists of names and dates, or other antiquarian considerations, like the number of pages contained in a memo written... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		North Carolina Waterfalls: A Hiking and Photography Guide from John F. Blair Publisher Price: $12.88 Customer Review: I gave this as a gift to my boyfriend who is a "waterfall buff" and hiker. The book gives info on where these falls are located and how to get to them. The book was a hit and I think anyone who is a hiker and loves waterfalls would love this guide..

11.		Microhydro: Clean Power from Water from New Society Publishers Price: $13.25 Customer Review: This really is not the best book on microhydro. An earlier review by Sam C. sums it up nicely. Thoughout the book, the author keeps referring to the case studies, but they're at the back of the book. So do you read the end of the book first? He stretches out simple or obvious points and keeps... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		Water: A Natural History from Basic Books Price: $2.00 Customer Review: We used this book as the spine for a homeschooling unit on watersheds - it's AWESOME! Clean water might be chemical, but it's also about beavers and systems and the way everything connects. Water is a profoundly clear book for beginners and for scientists who want to grasp the holistic viewpoint.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		Introduction to Water in California (California Natural History Guides) from University of California Press Price: $13.50 Customer Review: This is a gem of a book. A comprehensive overview of water issues in California. Filled with useful and relevant facts, it is told in a narrative style that is often (as least for those with an interest in water issues) so gripping it can be hard to put down. The book is small enough to fit in... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.		The World's Water 2008-2009: The Biennial Report on Freshwater Resources from Island Press Price: $25.24 Customer Review: Peter Glick is one of a handfull of professionals in the global water business and is a respected expert. Although his point of view is more toward conservation and less toward the development of "new water" I always read what he has to say. The update of water conflicts is an enormous tool in my... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.		Water, Water Everywhere (Reading Rainbow Book) from Sierra Club Books for Children Price: $2.00	Click here for more information


16.		Stream Ecology: Structure and function of running waters from Springer Price: $59.34 Customer Review: I am a college student who was taught in a course using this textbook. From a student's perspective, the book was thorough and detailed but relatively unhelpful. The block text and lack of bolded words (or color, for that matter) was a huge deterrent to effective studying. These elements may not be... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		Physical Hydrology from Prentice Hall Price: $59.95 Customer Review: I'll echo others when I say first that this books has a lot of great information. However, it's difficult to actually learn from. It's very equation-based, which is good, but the equations are often simply presented without any discussion. The ambiguity of units is frustrating, and it's difficult to... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.		A View of the River from Harvard University Press Price: $14.73 Customer Review: If you read Barry Lopez River Notes, this book is not that. There is a subtext that comes through -- Leopold loved his work, the outdoors life of a river surveyor, and the rivers he studied -- but this is not a book of naturalist poetry. What it is, is the digest of a lifetime's study of the fluvial... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


19.		Water Distribution Operator Training Handbook 3e from American Waterworks Association Price: $61.60	Click here for more information


20.		Water Follies: Groundwater Pumping And The Fate Of America's Fresh Waters from Island Press Price: $16.99 Customer Review: This is the second book I read from this author. He does a good job writing about the nation's water supply and some of its history.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


21.		Open-Channel Hydraulics from The Blackburn Press Price: $62.95 Customer Review: This is not a book for novices of fluid mechanics. The example problems are very vague on the applications of the theorems introduced in the book. I found this to be more of a reference handbook for experienced individuals.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


22.		Limnology, Third Edition: Lake and River Ecosystems from Academic Press Price: $57.00 Customer Review: Wetzel's "Limnology" is almost certainly a fixture on the bookshelf of every limnologist in the country (perhaps even the world). 1) Review of this product as a reference book: Wetzel has been a leader in the field of Limnology for decades. This book contains a combination of his vast... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


23.		Pandora's Locks: The Opening of the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway from Michigan State Univ Pr Price: $14.97 Customer Review: A must read for those interested in the true story of the destruction of one of the world's great natural resources, the North American Great Lakes. But, this is not simply a Great Lakes story, as evidenced by the quagga mussel expansion out west (chapter 23). Although many stories have been written... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


24.		Sedimentary Rocks in the Field: A Color Guide from Academic Press Price: $27.99 Customer Review: An excellent guide for field work and student use in the field. Well written and produced. A very high quality product. This probably is not a guide for an inexperienced beginner in field work.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


25.		Hydrogeology Field Manual, 2e from McGraw-Hill Professional Price: $64.49	Click here for more information


26.	[no image]	Contaminant Hydrogeology from Macmillan Coll Div Price: $169.99 Customer Review: This is a great introductory book on transport of contaminants in groundwater. Maybe a bit outdated but still a great piece of work.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


27.		Applied Hydrogeology (4th Edition) from Prentice Hall Price: $95.00 Customer Review: I'm a lawyer with a background in physics, but none in hydrology. I got involved in water law and needed to understand what the hydrologists were saying. I was able to read this book and follow the development with little difficulty. I found that it addressed all the topics and used the same... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


28.		River Ecology and Management: Lessons from the Pacific Coastal Ecoregion from Springer Price: $43.98	Click here for more information


29.		Follow the Water from Brook to Ocean (Lets-Read-and-Find-Out-Science Book) from HarperCollins Publishers Price: $16.00 Customer Review: This book covers a surprisingly large breadth of material. Children are instructed about many aspects of water in a non-intimidating, gentle format. Like a gently flowing stream the book takes children from raindrop to ocean, pausing at a great many stops in between. The young reader may not even be... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


30.	[no image]	Earth's Dynamic Systems from Prentice Hall Price: $50.00 Customer Review: This is a good book about earth science in general. It has many useful and colorful figures that explain the text. It is easy to read, also. One of my study books for the ASBOG exam (Fundamental Geology).
