"[A] lively and invaluable assessment of the current politics, economics, and culture of water. Lyrical in his descriptions of the beauty and wonder of water, Fishman is rigorous when explaining that the water we have now is all the water we will ever have."

"A wide-ranging look at that most precious of goods, water, and a world in which it is a subject of constant crisis...A timely warning."

"An engrossing, globe-trotting narrative [and] a comprehensive, remarkably readable panorama of our dependence on--and responsibilities to--a priceless resource."
