Water, Pure and Simple
The Infinite Wisdom of an Extraordinary Molecule
Paolo Consigli, MD
There is no more important substance on earth than water, which makes up over 70% of both our bodies and our planet. This remarkable new resource for inner enlightenment allows us to discover and understand more about this most common of molecules by reconciling modern science with ancient wisdom. What makes water such an integral part of life? By going beyond simply describing its attributes and celebrating its physical properties, this study reveals water’s spiritual dimension. We learn about our own hypnotic attraction to the element’s purity and transparency, its bizarre physical behavior, and how water’s capacity to transfer data is at the root of its therapeutic properties. This innovative, intelligent and far-reaching exploration of our most fundamental natural resource will inspire everyone. 
Includes information on:
• The role of water in the formation of the Universe
• How life is created out of water
• The relationship of water to the moon and the tides
• How water affects the meridians of acupuncture, the Shu points, and bodily energy
• Water and divination
• Aquatic Intelligences: intelligent behavior in dolphins

Un libro bellissimodaleggereassolutamente, con un unico protagonista: l'acqua. Questa stupefacente molecola, che contravviene a gran parte delle leggi della fisica dei fluidi, è l'elemento di cui è formato il nostro pianeta e anche il nostro corpo, esattamente nella stessa proporzione: il 70%. Un libro che racconta sia delle perplessità che questa molecola ha causato a più di uno scienziato, ma anche dei miti collegati all'acqua che fanno parte del nostro immaginario collettivo, degli studi e dell'attenzione che tutte le antiche civiltà hanno dedicato all'acqua e alle sue proprietà e del fatto che nonostante tutte le ricerche l'acqua rimanga, ancora oggi, un vero e proprio mistero. Un libro talmente bello (sì lo so che l'ho già detto!!), che ho già voglia di rileggerlo! :)

Water, Pure and Simple was an impulse buy. I chanced upon it at a discount used bookstore and perused the 1st chapter. it was so filled with interesting facts about water i had to buy it.

i was disappointed.

the rest of the book is a mish mash of pluralistic pantheistic water worshiping garbage. the author regurgitates the save statements over and over and over and over and...the book is like that. he prescribes to just about every possible religion and somehow thinks he ties them all back to water which he concludes is the meaning of life.

i apologize if this review comes off as harsh, but that first chapter really got my hopes up. the rest of the book dashed them down.
