«Un pianeta senz'acqua. Viaggio nella desertificazione contemporanea» is the essay by Fred Pearce in paperback (Il Saggiatore, 382 pages, in Italian).
Fred Pearce travels through thirty nations to investigate the causes of desertification. The book shows how India, China and Pakistan consume half of the planet's fresh water in irrigation and how rivers such as the Nile, the Indus or the Colorado dry up before reaching the sea, while fossil aquifers are overexploited and wetlands are drained.
Published on 19 October 2006 in the «La cultura» collection by Il Saggiatore.
