Filled with illustrations, Flood offers a fascinating overview of our relationship with one of humanity’s oldest and deadliest foes. John Withington also relates how some of the most ambitious structures ever built by humans have been designed to protect us against these merciless encroaching waters, and discusses the increasing danger ﬂoods pose in a future beset by the effects of climate change. It examines the ancient, catastrophic deluge that appears in many religions and cultures, and considers how the ﬂood has become a key icon in world literatures and a favourite component of disaster movies. Flood describes how aspects of floods - the power of nature, human drama, altered landscapes - have fascinated artists, novelists and film-makers.
