I'm touring the US with my two new books, Troubled Water: Saints, Sinners, Truths & Lies about the Global Water Crisis , and Numbers . I hope you will be able to join me. From instore signings at Borders and events that include reading, performance, and discussion to The Green Festival - you'll be able to come out and visit your local stop on the book tour.
Did you know 1 billion people worldwide do not have any water within a 15 minute walk of their homes? Troubled Water: Saints, Sinners, Truths & Lies about the Global Water Crisis,is a vivid collection of essays by some of the world?s most powerful thought leaders, activists and luminaries who reveal that perhaps the single biggest threat to human rights, economic justice and even human life and civilisation itself may be something as elemental as water. It flows out of our taps easily enough that we rarely give it a second thought, but we ignore it at our peril!
Did you know that 80 million people have been forced from their homes over the past century because of damaging projects to build dams. Or that 60 million people could be provided with clean drinking water for the cost of one nuclear submarine? NUMBERS can unlock secrets, split atoms, reveal the inner workings of people and machines or draw patterns of outstanding complexity and beauty. In the East, they have mystical significance ? they can tell the future and are the key to the secret harmonies of the universe. They can also make us angry, or make us laugh or cry.
