Summary: Don't take water for granted!
Comment: Water is an essential part of life most Americans take for granted. It's easy to dismiss water quality or availability issues, but they affect everyone.
Although Shiva puts a decidedly anti-corporation spin on her anecdotes, she raises many interesting points and asks some tough questions. Everyone should be concerned with environmental quality, and this book is a good start.
The book isn't merely about environmentalism, however. It also covers the economic, political, and financial impact of control over water. Those who control water, control the world!
The book is well-written and intriguing. Shiva's environmental science is solid, but described in a way laymen can understand.
Rating: 5
Summary: This book is a TREASURE!
Comment: It should be required reading in every college and university!
You don't need to be a rocket scientist to realize that corporations want to control all of our natural resources. If these temples of greed could bottle and sell the air we breathe, they would! And, guess what, every living thing on earth needs water, either directly, or indirectly, to survive. I would even dare say water is more precious than oil!
This is a very well reasoned and articulate book. While some reviewers are satisfied with ridiculous ad hominem attacks, I say you be the judge! Don't let someone with ax to grind influence your decision about what to read!

Summary: total garbage
Comment: The author obviously doesn't have the slightest understanding of the basis of economics.
