Forgetting this, we turn the earth into a toxic dump. Remembering this, we unfurl the future as perpetual possibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eWater is also the strength of subtlety, quietly making its way through your body. \u003cem\u003eperpetual\u003c\/em\u003e is both a gift and a warning from water. Through drawings and graphic essays by artist Cindy Mochizuki and writer Rita Wong, the book visits some key sites where people have sabotaged themselves by desecrating water: the Pacific Ocean, the tar sands leaking into the Athabasca River, the historical salmon streams buried in sewers under Vancouver's streets, pressing to be daylighted... \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eperpetual\u003c\/em\u003e draws strength from the rivers that still flow wild, like the Fraser River, and from friendships made along the way in journeys with and for water. The book is a response to Dorothy Christian's call to protect sacred waters. Humble and holy, water shows us a way to make peace and ethics, if we have the heart and spirit to learn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rita Wong, Cindy Mochizuki\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0889713138\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780889713130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Blewointment\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/14\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/11\/2016","brand":"Rita Wong","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43989643198719,"sku":"9780889713130","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f8bc82e4-a8d5-4d8c-905c-7ab07f1a3adf.jpg?v=1683300672","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/perpetual-rita-wong-9780889713130","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
