"I read this wide-ranging and thoughtful book while sitting on the
banks of the Ganges near Varanasi-it's a river already badly
polluted, and now threatened by the melting of the loss of the
glaciers at its source to global warming. Four hundred million
people depend on it, and there's no backup plan. As Steven Solomon
makes clear, the same is true the world over; this volume will give
you the background to understand the forces that will drive much of
21st century history." -Bill McKibben In Water, esteemed journalist
Steven Solomon describes a terrifying-and all too real-world in
which access to fresh water has replaced oil as the primary cause
of global conflicts that increasingly emanate from drought-ridden,
overpopulated areas of the world. Meticulously researched and
undeniably prescient, Water is a stunningly clear-eyed action
statement on what Robert F Kennedy, Jr. calls "the biggest
environmental and political challenge of our time."
