"From the most ancient of times, when humans huddled close to water sources, to the present, with our reckless and profligate abuse of this critical resource, water has been as vital as air. But now the global supply is pressing up against ever-increasing demands made by ever-burgeoning populations, and the uses and misuses of water are increasing the possibility of armed conflict as nations reach the limits of their resources." Thoroughly documented and researched; a must-read for anyone concerned with environmental and sustainability issues. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
Sinopsis
In his award-winning book WATER, Marq de Villiers provides an eye-opening account of how we are using, misusing, and abusing our planet's most vital resource. Encompassing ecological, historical, and cultural perspectives, de Villiers reports from hot spots as diverse as China, Las Vegas, and the Middle East, where swelling populations and unchecked development have stressed fresh water supplies nearly beyond remedy. Political struggles for control of water rage around the globe, and rampant pollution daily poses dire ecological theats. With one eye on these looming crises and the other on the history of our dependence on our planet's most precious commodity, de Villiers has crafted a powerful narrative about the lifeblood of civilizations that will be "a wake-up call for concerned citizens, environmentalists, policymakers, and water drinkers everywhere" (Publishers Weekly).
