About this product

Product Information

Colorless, tasteless, odorless, ageless: water is both the simplest thing on earth and the most complex. We cannot live without it, yet water-borne illnesses kill 6,000 children a day. It is the ultimate renewable resource but we pollute it on a heroic scale. In this enthralling voyage of discovery, Rupert Wright sets out to discover exactly what water is and why it plays such an important role in history, culture, art, and literature. He penetrates to the heart of the developed world supposedly bringing piped water to the poor, andvisits a bishop in Brazil willing to give up his life to save a river and a child in India who waits by the roadside every morning for a bucket of water. Why, if water is so valuable does nobody want to pay for it unless it comes in a designer bottle? Is it really the oil of the 21st century? Will we all soon be fighting over it, or can it lead countries into cooperation rather than conflict?"

"Wright's 10 commandments for water projects should be required reading for all engaged with water governance."  - The Guardian, "Wright's 10 commandments for water projects should be required reading for all engaged with water governance." -- The Guardian, It is to Wright's credit that that he manages to introduce so many ideas without his writing sounding glib or strained

As described. Seller was very professional. There was an issue with the shipping agent that claimed the package had not been collected. The seller then initiated a refund, only for the shipping company to deliver the book, so the shipping agent was at fault. Very professional seller and has now guaranteed my future purchasing. Marked shipping as 1-star due to the issues they generated Thank you

Great seller! USPS destroyed the initial shipment (literally looked like one of their trucks ran the box over). Contacted seller and received another copy (very carefully packaged) via free expedited shipping within days. Very responsible seller with great customer service!
