LEGATURA EDITORIALE. Zustand: NUOVO. In Leggere l'acqua, Tristan Gooley fondatore del metodo di orientamento naturale che lo ha reso una garanzia di chiarezza nel racconto delle scienze del paesaggio si dedica a fiumi, laghi, torrenti impetuosi di montagna, mari sconfinati, ma anche pozzanghere e gocce d'acqua, tutti accomunati dal loro simile elemento. Leggere l'acqua, capirne la sostanza, riconoscerne i movimenti è non solo essenziale per chi deve affrontare le grandi traversate oceaniche o progettare dei ponti, ma anche affascinante e sorprendente per chi, come tutti noi, sotto la doccia o lungo fiumi cittadini si faccia venire delle curiosità. O per chi se le farà venire leggendo questo libro. Dagli uadi dell'Oman ai ghiacci dell'Artico, Gooley svela comportamenti liquidi e insegna metodi per trasformare ogni lettore in un esperto di onde, zampilli e cascate. Pagg. 396, brossura.…
