The book provides topic descriptions and guest profiles for each of the thirteen episodes, as well as a brief perspective that is pertinent to each of the topics. Perspectives are in the form of quotations and/or unusual viewpoints designed to prompt readers and listeners to explore a personal, rather than just a representational, relationship to water.

Hydromimicry Strategies for a Water Planet Hydromimicry: Strategies for a Water Planet (Water Sciences & Insights) is an e-Book in preparation that is due for release in March 2009. Hydromimicry explores the micro- and macro-scale roles of water with a focus on supporting or emulating them in our approach to resource and environmental challenges. These strategies involve recognizing and working with Earth's responses to human pressures and with water's orchestration of global transformations, rather than coercing water and the planet to conform to our remedies. The traditional "management" of water has overemphasized its role as a commodity and underemphasized its role in climate change, CO2 balance, energy alternatives, information dynamics, global markets, and human health. Water's subtlety in initiating or mediating many of the physical, chemical, and biological processes on Earth can serve as a model for decisions and technologies we employ to address today's challenges.....even those challenges that are rarely associated with water. The book will be available in an electronic format for downloading from online booksellers or this website.
