Editor Jacqueline Langwith has compiled some startling and fascinating essays to address several issues related to water as a resource. Two essays debate whether armed conflicts will arise over future water scarcity. Another set of essays debate water privatization. The American Farmland Trust argues against a view that agriculture threatens water quality. Several other topics will truly fascinate your readers, giving them two sides to every issue, allowing them to form a well balanced, well researched opinion.
Water (Opposing Viewpoints) Reviews
-
An Opposing Viewpoints book (we've read a couple on other topics for SIS). In general a good broad overview of the main arguments on a particular subject. I chose to read it in preparation for potential grad school apps. Sometimes, the choice of author is poor. For example, the International Bottled Water Association writing about why bottled water is safe? Sure, I'll trust their opinion!
