MEDIA REVIEWS
'This inspired guide to water in all its forms will make a big splash...Gooley has done his subject proud - this is seriously fascinating stuff.'- The Times
'This study of the behaviour of rivers,lakes and seas brims over with astonishing facts... His observational skills can be breathtaking... Gooley's infectious delight in knowledge translates into a gleeful hoarding of words... The joy of these words and phenomena is that they make you yearn to observe them in the real world... Gooley even manages to explain tides coherently and excitingly in just 14 pages,which is quite some feat,given that they are a lot more complicated than being a mere effect of the moon's gravity.'- The Sunday Times
