Maggiori informazioni sul libro
This photography book with a social conscience celebrates the profound connection between water and our lives, emphasizing its importance for current and future generations. The work pays tribute to the inspiration and magic of water, as photographer Marjorie Ryerson captures its stunning diversity—from the shifting colors of Lake Superior at sunset to the tranquil beauty of flowing streams. Accompanying her breathtaking images are contributions from renowned musicians across the globe, who share memoirs, stories, poetry, and lyrics that enhance the visual experience and underscore the book's powerful message. For instance, Mickey Hart reflects on how the sound of rain has shaped his music, while flutist Mary Youngblood connects her musical journey to her water sign.

Together, these elements remind us of the pressing need to protect this essential resource, as highlighted in Paul Winter's introduction. Ryerson's project aims not only to celebrate water's beauty but also to raise awareness about water issues through various initiatives. Proceeds from the book will support the Water Music Fund at the United Nations Foundation, dedicated to environmental water preservation and providing clean drinking water globally. Ryerson, a teacher and journalist, has had her work featured in prominent publications and teaches at Castleton State College i
