Dr. Gleick, founder of CA's Pacific Institute, is a brilliant and devoted scientist who has dedicated his life to the study of water. One of the Institute’s major contributions continues to be the highly regarded Water and Conflict Chronology, which traces the history of water as a tool of war and conflict, explores the nature of those conflicts, and provides citations and data in an interactive system, set of maps, and database. I highly recommend readers go the Pacific Institute website at www.pacinst.org for reams of free publications and resources in addition to these other books available.http://pacinst.org/issues/water-and-conflict/
Well informed data, and introspect on this issue. :)
book for a friend they enjoyed it for their class
Excellent!
It seems an utter violation of humanity and or Earth that this book is only available as paper product that consumes an enormous amount of water, and is not available on Kindle.
