The Fourth Phase of Water: Beyond Solid, Liquid, and Vapor Description
Hardcover Edition
Professor Pollack takes us on a fantastic voyage through water, showing us a hidden universe teeming with physical activity-- providing simple explanations for common everyday phenomena, which you have inevitably seen but not really understood.
Amazingly, Pollack and colleagues at his University of Washington laboratory have discovered that water is NOT always H2O. When touching most surfaces, water transforms itself into so-called Exclusion Zone (EZ) Water, also known as Structured Water or Fourth Phase Water.
EZ water, whose formula is H3O2, differs dramatically from H2O. And, there is a lot of it, everywhere.
Pollack writes in a clear, eloquent style. Whimsical illustrations and simple diagrams help get his points across in a reader-friendly manner perfectly suitable for non-experts.
The Fourth Phase of Water: Beyond Solid, Liquid, and Vapor won the "Distinguished Award" from the Society for Technical Communication, their highest accolade.

A fabulous book! The whole book is about how does water work in many basic processes, like evaporation, freezing, the forming of a bubble, etc. In short, the author introduced that the water molecules near hydrophilic surfaces will form a so-called Exclusion Zone (EZ), which has different physical and chemical properties.
The author has such a technic managing the words, so that the book and the theories in it are really easy to understand. There is never a boring section in this book, in fact, the questions that the author raised to lead the readers are so luring and interesting, that I could hardly take my hands off the book and always forget the time while I was reading it.
It is common sense that water is an essential ingredient of life, and it's everywhere: sky, sea, air, river, plants, animals...You name it. Thus, for most of the time I neglect water automatically, just like everybody ingores the white noise in our everyday life. But after reading this book, I realized that water needs more attention. There are so many everyday-life phenomenon, that not every one of us can explain. For example, we all know clouds are made of many small water droplets, these water comes from land and sea. How come all the water droplets will form a big white puff of cloud, instead of distributing in the sky evenly?
This book will definitely open your eyes to the exciting facts that most probably have been overseen, and after finish reading the book, I just feel the world looks different because I understand it better now.
By Ray
An incredible book -- a mere 5 stars does not do it justice. Elegant and clearly written, it explains many of the mysteries of how things work, many of the anomalies in classical models, all in very rational terms of charge flow, energy inputs, and the interaction of water molecules.
His prior book,
Cells, Gels and the Engines of Life, is in the same class, also highly recommended. I still have to get his book on muscles,
Muscles and Molecules: Uncovering the Principles of Biological Motion, as well as his earlier works. I'm a fan :-)
