| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | Robert Glennon, author of Water Follies, captures the irony--and tragedy--of America's water crisis in a book that is both frightening and wickedly comical. From manufactured snow for tourists in Atlanta to trillions of gallons of water flushed down the toilet each year, Unquenchable reveals the heady extravagances and everyday inefficiencies that are sucking the nation dry. |
