    LIVING WATER SMART IN BRITISH COLUMBIA:“While I was studying English literature, I was also auditing classes in quantum physics. When I develop a theory, it has to have a grounding. I have to have evidence,” stated Dr. Serpil Oppermann, co-editor of The Bloomsbury Handbook to the Blue Humanities


    “My evidence comes from following recent scientific developments in oceanography, limnology, marine biology, hydrology, and of course quantum physics. I am an eco-critic and environmental humanities scholar. We work at the intersections of the sciences and the humanities. The Blue Humanities is now flourishing. And the book that I am now co-editing is going to make a change. It will be THE BOOK of the field. There are hundreds of books coming out.
