If you can read only one book on climate change, this is it." âLester Brown, president, Earth Policy Institute ". . . perhaps it is time for you to spend some time with Fred Pearce and his wonderful When the Rivers Run Dry." âDaily Kos, July Review Fred Pearce has been writing about water issues for over twenty years.
