Blue Gold

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'[A] well-researched book [that] provides a sobering, in-depth look at the growing scarcity of fresh water and the increasing privatization and corporate control of this non-renewable resource.'
Library Journal

'After reading this non-fiction account of the globe's shrinking water supply, it is hard not to think how privileged we are to enjoy simple morning showers, a glass of water, or one-hour drives to the beach.'
Winnipeg Free Press

'To describe a book on water as 'refreshing' may be a clich but the directness and commitment that springs from these pages is both engaging and motivating.'
New Agriculturist Online

'In Blue Gold, activists Maude Barlow and Tony Clarke offer an angry and persuasive account of how this (false sense of security) has damaged the environment and how the privatization of once-public resources threatens to exacerbate the problem.'
Business Week

'This book points out the need for further research into water management, institutional and policy issues, principles and practices.'
Natural Resources Forum

'Blue Gold provides an alternative viewpoint to that presented by many international institutions. The book is a must for campaginers against privatization of water services and makes interesting reading for anyone working in water and sanitation services.'
