520    Both the Christian Bible and Aristotle's works suggest 
       that water should entirely flood the earth. 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.
