Description
"For 1 billion people there is such a thing as life without water. These are the people we meet in Dry - those who live in the dry lands of Africa, Asia, the Pacific, and the Americas, surviving between craggy mountains, near oases, or close to well-springs surrounded by cracked earth or shifting sands." "This illustrated book tells the diverse stories about people in very hot, very cold, or very high places, who spend their lives collecting, chasing, piping, trapping and often dreaming about the water that life requires - all the while taking great care that no form of life, plant or animal, benefits at the expense of another." "In a world of finite resources, these stories are a source of hope and wonder. Documented over many years by photographers, scientists and writers from four continents they provide a rare window to the diversity and the fragility of life in the dry lands of earth."--Jacket.
