The Wonder of Water: Lived Experience, Policy, and Practice

"It is no accident that The Wonder of Water starts and ends with poetry. While it is an academic and rigorous compilation, most of its contributors infuse their prose with expressive admiration of water’s foundational and life-affirming properties in a way that’s wonder inducing indeed."

Rachel Jagareski, Foreword Reviews, January/February 2020

"The twelve chapters of The Wonder of Water pin-point Stefanovic’s ethical and moral concerns in relation to water, the landscapes of water, and places associated with water, whether river, bay, sea, or otherwise. As editor, her aim is to incorporate thinking that highlights ‘the genuine meaning of water in its visceral quality, its vitality and its primordiality.’"

Environmental & Architectural Phenomenology

"The Wonder of Water deploys an explicitly phenomenological approach to water, making links between environmental case studies, policy, and personal experience."

Michael Smith, Department of Philosophy, Queen’s University

"Contributors demonstrate how a more comprehensive, engaged knowledge of and responsibility for water can guide water restoration and propel sustainable environmental and landscape design and policy."

David Seamon, Department of Architecture, Kansas State University

"Using water as a lens for explicating the complexity of environmental experience, The Wonder of Water goes further than any other book in demonstrating how phenomenological methods might inform environmental management."
