The Big Thirst
The Secret Life and Turbulent Future of Water
Charles Fishman
Discover the fascinating and complex world of water with this engaging narrative excursion. From the wet moons of Saturn to the water-obsessed hotels of Las Vegas, and from a rice farm in the Australian outback to giant vats of soup at a Campbell's factory, experience the awe-inspiring ways water runs our world. Charles Fishman reveals how our relationship to water is conflicted and irrational, neglected and mismanaged. He portrays the dangers- such as the 2008 Atlanta water crisis- and the opportunities for breakthroughs in water productivity. The Big Thirst will forever change the way we view our crucial relationship with water.
