On Time and Water is released in USA and Canada the 23rd of March in 2021 by Open Letter Books and Biblioasis in Canada.
“Based on interviews and advice from leading glacial, ocean, climate, and geographical scientists, and interwoven with personal, historical, and mythological stories, Magnason’s response is a rich and compelling work of narrative nonfiction that illustrates the reality of climate change—and offers hope in the face of an uncertain future. Moving from an obituary for a glacier to exhortation for a heightened understanding of human time and our obligations to one another, throughout history and across the globe. On Time and Water is both deeply personal and globally-minded: a travel story, a world history, and a desperate plea to live in harmony with future generations. Already a massive bestseller in Iceland, and selling in thirty territories around the world, this is a book unlike anything that has yet been published on the current climate emergency.”
