Though many ancient, medieval, and early modern Europeans relied on these works to understand and explore the relationships between water and earth, particularly sixteenth-century Europeans were especially concerned with why dry land existed. This book investigates why sixteenth-century Europeans were so interested in water's failure to submerge the earth when their predecessors had not been. Analyzing biblical commentaries as well as natural philosophical, geographical, and cosmographical texts from these periods, Lindsay Starkey shows that European sea voyages to the Southern Hemisphere combined with the traditional methods of European scholarship and religious reformations led sixteenth-century Europeans to reinterpret water and earth's ontological and spatial relationships. The manner in which they did so also sheds light on how we can respond to our current water crisis before it is too late. 588 0 Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed September 9, 2020). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 16th century|2fast 648 7 1500-1599|2fast 650 0 Discoveries in geography|xHistory|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008102302|y16th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002012470 650 0 Reformation.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85112228 650 0 Religion and science|xHistory|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85112585|y16th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002012470 650 0 Water|xReligious aspects|xChristianity.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85145505 650 0 Water|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85145447 |xSocial aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh00002758|zEurope.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85045631-781 650 7 Discoveries in geography.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/894950 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Reformation.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1092555 650 7 Religion and science.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1093848 650 7 Water|xReligious aspects|xChristianity.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1171491 650 7 Water|xSocial aspects.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast /1171504 650 7 Water.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1171139 651 0 Southern Hemisphere|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh86007206|xDiscovery and exploration|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99002238|xHistory|y16th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2002006122 651 7 Europe.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1245064 651 7 Southern Hemisphere.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1245895 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 830 0 Environmental humanities in pre-modern cultures.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2017145445 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2578155|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
