1: Powerful ....compelling....
Rick Smolan has managed once more to bring together powerful photographs and compelling essays that challenge all of us to see, think, and act differently about something we take for granted everyday - water. I was profoundly moved and even at times angered by what I read and saw. Truly a book to read and reread - and one to pass on to friends, family, colleagues. A gift to the world.....
|
2: Water for your Soul
Smolan has done it again with a poignant and powerful message for the world. This is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand how to make a difference.

3: Interesting and informative for all ages
This book is not only beautifully written (easy to understand), it has photographs that tell a clear story. Our water "issue" will be understood by all ages because the photos in this wonderful book tell their own story. As a gift or to keep, this book is a treasure.

4: beautiful reminder of essential truths
Exquisite wide ranging photographs remind us that without water there can be no life. Millions of women and men have to go to great lengths to obtain water - a reminder that we should treasure this precious good.

5: Worthy of the coffee table, bed stand or classroom
I've had this book for months and am still digesting it. You can flip through it in one sitting or you can take your time digging into the details. Try that with other coffee table photo books! First off, the book is huge. The images are beautiful, even when illustrating the harsh realities of the world's water crisis. And the writing has so much variety and insite. Love the Diane Ackerman essay! It is so poetic and, of course, flows like water. A very cool way to bring one of our most pressing issues to the table. Pass it on.
