Chinese Water Culture Promotion Series has ancient wisdom to share for modern times. From youth to adults, publishing, media, and science making waves and sharing perspectives that change everything.  Helping us learn about where we live (our habitat) and learn about water culture as we live in a shared biosphere.

Chinese publishers had a huge presence as the 2015 guest of honor exhibitor country sharing their perspectives and goods at the Reed Exposition International summer New York book fair at the Javitz by the Hudson River.  The entire trade brought Chinese titles, technology, historic editorial achievements and new media projects to the world via its broad span of exhibits at the Book Expo America. 

Here's the description from just one of the larger publishers from adapted their Book Expo web materials (Water and Power Press):

…promoting the book series on… Chinese Rivers and Lakes and  a cartoon  series on China's fables that address  Flood Control. Announcing, a publishing license contract to be signed with UNESCO for the Chinese Version of the UN World Water Development Report. Dignitaries have been invited to attend the show events and activities including director of the Publishing Department of UNESCO and CEO of Open Road Integrated Media (USA).

Clearly water is the source of life for agricultural cultures and urban dwellers alike.

Clean water is precious.  From 6000 plus photos, to geography, to 3 D publishing, watch for these titles and for international publishing to make everyday Earth Day...

The book fair touted new books and printing technologies, ancient screen printing to new technologies, electronic publishing to printing history, all subjects, all ages.  China created a beautiful exhibit that reviewed its formative and continuing leadership in book and water culture.

Background notes on the books and projects described above and our mutual water commons and water summits and city collaboratives below.
