Book excerpt: For many people, the soothing sound of water trickling through a fountain has the same effect as taking a deep breath: it's instantly calming and relaxing. Now, thanks to this first-of-its-kind book, you can bring the rhythmic music of flowing water into your home with decorative tabletop fountains that you create yourself. The techniques are simple and the materials inexpensive. You begin with an attractive bowl or basin to which you add a submersible pump, along with plastic tubing to direct the water flow. Then comes the fun part--finding a way to disguise these elements. Marbles, stones, and rocks work well. In minutes, your fountain will be up and running. More elaborate fountains with layers of cascading water are also easy to build--they just take a little more time. Book jacket.
