Australian ed. Paperback octavo, very good condition, minor edgewear. 248 pp. Elizabeth Royte provides an incisive, intrepid and habit-changing narrative investigation into the commercialisation of our most basic need: drinking water. Why drink expensive water in environmentally unfriendly plastic bottles? She exposes for water what Eric Schlosser did for fast food: she finds the people, machines, economies, and cultural trends that bring it from nature to our supermarkets. A riveting chronicle of one of the greatest marketing coups of the 20th century. The author is an American journalist. Australian edition. (1 of 2 available copies.).
