Washington DC: Conservation International, 2010. Quarto, colour photographs, fine copy in dustwrapper.

Full of stunning colour photographs, this title provides a beautiful and sometimes stark examination of the current state of the Earth's freshwater ecosystems. The authors, along with dozens of the world's most accomplished photographers, tell us why Earth's freshwater supplies and systems are in peril. These ecosystems have proved resilient throughout millennia, but in the last few generations humanity has radically destroyed them to the point of alarm.
