520    "Peter Gleick guides us through the long, fraught history 
       of our relationship to this precious resource. Water has 
       shaped civilizations and empires, and driven centuries of 
       advances in science and technology—from agriculture to 
       aqueducts, steam power to space exploration—and progress 
       in health and medicine.   But the achievements that have 
       propelled humanity forward also brought consequences, 
       including unsustainable water use, ecological destruction,
       and global climate change, that now threaten to send us 
       into a new dark age. We must change our ways, and quickly,
       to usher in a new age of water for the benefit of 
       everyone." --Publisher.
