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).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marq De Villiers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0618127445\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780618127443\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e HarperOne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/12\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.50w x 0.92d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2003 pg. 640","brand":"Marq De Villiers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988199014655,"sku":"9780618127443","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ef1956cc-e8a8-4317-8760-381d2adc8da0.jpg?v=1683293170","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/water-marq-de-villiers-9780618127443","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
