Description:
"The story of water and its (mis) uses is told both elegantly and exhaustively in Water, a book big enough and smart enough to be the final word on the subject" (Austin Chronicle). Here is Marq de Villiers's "well-researched, thought-provoking" (Minneapolis Tribune) account of how we are using and abusing our planet's most vital resource. De Villiers reports from places as diverse as China, Las Vegas, and the Middle East, where swelling populations and development have stressed fresh water supplies, to sound "a wake-up call for concerned citizens, environmentalists, policy-makers, and water drinkers everywhere" (Publishers Weekly).
