Blue
Rooms : Ripples, Rivers, Pools, and Other Waters by
John Jerome.
Jerome, the author of the fine study On
Mountains and many other books, turns his attention to his
lifelong quest for "perfect waters" in this limpid
book of natural history and personal reflection. He takes his
readers to little-known streams like the Mountain Fork River of
Oklahoma, the scene of his earliest memories, and the turbulent
Raquette River in the Adirondack Mountains of New York. He dips
into the warm, healing waters of the Caribbean and the cold
depths of Canadian lakes, and examines the play of water in the
human imagination, an influence that has been profound in music,
art, and literature. Jerome writes with evident love for his
subject, and his lyrical book speaks to the power of waters to
make us whole -- Nature and Ecology Editor's Recommended
Book.
