Considering water in all three of its states as ice and steam as well as liquid, Finney explains the great importance of an understanding of its structure and behaviour to a range of fields including chemistry, astrophysics, and earth and environmental sciences. Finney describes the role of water in biology, and ends with a discussion of of the outstanding controversies concerning water, and some of the 'magical' properties which have been claimed for it.

Finney-Phinney Families in America
John Finney (fl. 1630-1665) emigrated as early as 1630 from England to Plymouth, Massachusetts (with his mother, brother and sister). He married three times, and moved to Barnstable, Massachusetts. Some of his descendants spelled the surname Finney and some Phinney. Samuel Finney (1642-1712) immigrated in 1701 from England to Philadelphia, and married three tines; he was probably a Quaker. Robert Finney (1667/1668-1755) was born in Scotland, and served with William of Orange in Ireland in 1689; he escaped and immigrated to New London, Chester County, Pennsylvania. Insofar as is known, these three Finney immigrants were not related. Descendants and relatives of the three lived in New England, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, Oklahoma and elsewhere.
