Synopsis

World renowned scientist, Dr. Gerald Pollack, takes us on a fantastic voyage through water, showing us a hidden universe teeming with physical activity—providing simple explanations for common everyday phenomena, which you have inevitably seen but not really understood.

For instance, have you ever wondered . . .

How do clouds made up of dense water droplets manage to float in the sky? Why don’t your joints squeak as they rub together? Why do you sink in dry sand, but not in wet sand? How does capillary action manage to raise water up a 100 foot tree? Why does warm water freeze quicker than cool water?

Pollack uses a recent and fundamental scientific finding—EZ water—to help explain these and many other head-scratchers.

When touching most surfaces, water transforms itself into so-called EZ (Exclusion Zone) water, also known as structured water or fourth phase water. EZ water, whose formula is H3O2, differs dramatically from H2O. And, there is a lot of it, everywhere.

This award-winning book provides ample evidence for the existence of EZ water. Pollack writes in a clear, eloquent style.

About Gerald H. Pollack

Gerald H. Pollack is Founding Editor-in-Chief of the scientific journal WATER and is recognized as an international leader in science and engineering. The University of Washington Faculty chose Pollack, in 2008, to receive their highest annual distinction: the Faculty Lecturer Award. He was the 2012 recipient of the coveted Prigogine Medal for thermodynamics of dissipative systems. He has received an honorary doctorate from Ural State University in Ekaterinburg, Russia, and was more recently named an Honorary Professor of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and Foreign Member of the Srpska Academy. Pollack is a Founding Fellow of the American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering and a Fellow of both the American Heart Association and the Biomedical Engineering Society. He recently received an NIH Director's Transformative R01 Award for his work on water, and maintains an active laboratory in Seattle. Pollack's interests have ranged broadly, from biological motion and cell biology to the interaction of biological surfaces with aqueous solutions. His 1990 book, Muscles and Molecules: Uncovering the Principles of Biological Motion, won an "Excellence Award" from the Society for Technical Communication; his subsequent book, Cells, Gels and the Engines of Life, won that Society's "Distinguished Award." Pollack is recognized worldwide as a dynamic speaker and a scientist willing to challenge any long-held dogma that does not fit the facts.

Goodreads review by Greg on December 04, 2013

Scientific discovery in the modern age seems to require more and more resources to find less and less. To illustrate this, consider the lowly Higgs boson. The existence of the Higgs boson stands precariously at the end of an unfathomably complicated and expensive set up, which culminated in an astoun......more

Goodreads review by Steve on August 06, 2023

Water is one of the most common and essential substances on Earth, yet it remains a mystery to many of us. We think we know water as a simple molecule that can exist in three phases: solid, liquid, and vapor. But what if there is more to water than meets the eye? What if water has a fourth phase tha......more

Goodreads review by Rúnar on February 08, 2016

This is a wonderful book. On the surface, it seems that such a commonplace thing as water might not be very interesting. But the chemical/electrical properties of ordinary water molecules turn out to be tremendously rich and surprising. Pollack presents this subject with unbridled enthusiasm and pas......more

Goodreads review by Jarmo on May 24, 2023

The scientific aspects of water may seem rather underestimated today. Gerald H. Pollack deals with water's fourth phase by taking us on a scientific journey into the molecular world of water, where we get to discover things about water that have not been very well known. In other words, we become fa......more

Goodreads review by Bill on November 23, 2023

Excellent reflections on the process of science in the Preface. The author talks of his findings in examining the nature of water, but also discusses how these findings may relate to real world observations of the behavior of water. He notes that some of the ideas are speculative, even using an "out-......more
