H2O and the Waters of Forgetfulness: Reflections on the Historicity of Stuff

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
In the course of this brilliant essay the author traces the way water has been shorn of its mythic associations and reduced to an urban cleaning fluid. The histories of medicine, art, mythology, architecture, technology, and conceptions of the afterlife come into play as the changing role of water in our lives is revealed.
