Description

 							
  
  Far more than
oil, the control of water wealth throughout history has been pivotal to the rise and fall of great powers, the
achievements of civilization, the transformations of society's vital habitats, and the quality of ordinary daily lives.
In Water, Steven Solomon offers the first-ever narrative portrait of the power struggles, personalities, and
breakthroughs that have shaped humanity from antiquity's earliest civilizations, the Roman Empire, medieval China, and
Islam's golden age to Europe's rise, the steam-powered Industrial Revolution, and America's century. Today, freshwater
scarcity is one of the twenty-first century's decisive, looming challenges and is driving the new political, economic,
and environmental realities across the globe.
  
  As modern society runs short of its most indispensable
resource and the planet's renewable water ecosystems grow depleted, an explosive new fault line is dividing humanity
into water Haves and Have-nots. Genocides, epidemic diseases, failed states, and civil warfare increasingly emanate from
water-starved, overpopulated parts of Africa and Asia. Water famines threaten to ignite new wars in the bone-dry Middle
East. Faltering clean water supplies menace the sustainable growth and ability of China and India to feed themselves.
Water scarcity is inseparably interrelated to the global crises of energy, food, and climate change. For Western
democracies, water represents no less than the new oil—demanding a major rethink of basic domestic and foreign
policies—but also offering a momentous opportunity to relaunch wealth and global leadership through exploiting a
comparative advantage in freshwater reserves. Meticulously researched and masterfully written, Steven Solomon's Water is
a groundbreaking account of man's most critical resource in shaping human destinies, from ancient times to our dawning
age of water scarcity.
  
  Critical Praise
  “A tour de force. . . . Thoughtful. . . .
Well-written. . . . Solomon shows that when the incentives are right—where governments and markets are allowed to
focus on the real costs of and opportunities for using water resources--much better management of water systems
follows.” 
  — The National Interest
  
  “A fascinating and provocative work of
history that shines new light on what is probably the biggest environmental and political challenge of our time. Steven
Solomon’s brilliant book reveals how today’s planetary crisis of freshwater scarcity is recasting the
world order and the societies in which we live.” 
  — Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
  
  “A
sweeping history. . . . Solomon identifies plenty of obstacles to an equitable future, both institutional and
geophysical, but remains optimistic that science-born solutions are in the offing. . . . A useful piece for readers
interested in natural resources and the geopolitics attendant to them.” — Kirkus Reviews
 
“Steven Solomon has written a riveting historical manifesto on behalf of Water Power. His sweeping narrative,
covering centuries, is awe-inspiring. I learned a tremendous amount of usable knowledge from this fine work.” 
  — Douglas Brinkley, author of The Wilderness Warrior
  
  “Solomon’s soaring account
of our attempt to manage earth’s total environment over millennia never neglects the individuals, inventions, and
initiatives pivotal to that effort. Water is the most alarming and compelling call to action I’ve read since
Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring.” 
  — Linda Lear, author of Rachel Carson
  
 
“Persuasive. . . . Unique. . . . Solomon surveys the current state of the world’s water resources by
region, making a compelling case that the U.S. and other leading democracies have untapped strategic advantages that
will only become more significant as water becomes scarcer.” 
  — Publishers Weekly
  
 
“This volume will give you the background to understand the forces that will drive much of 21st century
history.” — Bill McKibben
  “ Steve Solomon also defines the critical challenges of water
– and the need for new thinking – for nations and peoples around the world, both for today and in the
future.” 
  —Daniel Yergin, author of The Prize: the Epic Quest for Oil, Money, and Power
   
  “Seeking to inspire us to place a higher value on water and establish wiser approaches to its use, Solomon has
created a brilliantly discursive and compelling epic of humankind’s most vital resource.”
