Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Former Senator Paul Simon delivers stirring eveidence of a catastrophic water crisis which will explode upon the global community unless drastic measures are taken in all corners of the world, including in our own backyards.

Book News Annotation:

The book jacket indicates that the former senator and current director of the Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois U.- Carbondale considers this the most important of his 17 books. He not only lucidly poses the potentially catastrophic problem of dwindling global water resources for general readers, but also proposes answers: desalination, conservation, pollution and population control, and practical tips on what citizens can do (including writing to your senators and to him).
