When the Rivers Run Dry

We should be grateful that Pearce has done our thinking for us… He writes with a controlled passion about a subject that carries him to the edge of despair but in which he divines a few drops of precious hope – Richard Girling * Sunday Times *
If ever a book has been written that demands to be read it is this one. This is that rare thing - a journey through a hugely important and complex subject in the company of a natural storyteller who makes you feel intelligent – Tim Smit, The Eden Project
Pearce is a well-known and accomplished science journalist, so his journeys, plus his well-researched assessments, make his frightening conclusions all too convincing – Paul Brown * Guardian *
Of all the travel books I have ever read this is the most frightening, the most inspiring and the most important… A book every politician must be made to read and understand – David Bellamy
Pearce captures our present reality with just the right tone of urgency and with enough optimism and ideas to think that the human race can re-evaluate our abusive relationship with water * Irish Times *
