The World's Water: The Report on Freshwater Resources (from the Pacific Institute) is the pre-eminent publication regularly addressing global freshwater challenges and solutions. The first volume was published in 1998 and the current volume - the ninth - continues the tradition of tackling timely, critical freshwater problems in a fresh, easy-to-read style. Information on the previous volumes and important water data can be found online at www.worldwater.org. When the first volume of The World's Water was published in 1998, the United Nations' Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) for 2015 had not even been established. The concepts of water "footprints," "virtual water," "corporate water stewardship," "peak water," and other now-central topics had not yet been put forward or were mostly unknown. Yet today, the MDGs have been replaced with a new set of comprehensive environmental and social targets, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for 2030. A wide variety of research, academic, advocacy, and policy groups are addressing water problems in new and innovative ways. And the demand for good water analysis is greater than ever. This new volume continues to offer insights into critical global water problems, overviews of data and analysis around water use and management, and case studies of some of the greatest water challenges around the world. The chapters in the current volume include the issue of corporate water stewardship, the human right to water and sanitation, water-use trends in the United States, an assessment of the water footprint of California energy, the consequences of the severe five-year California drought, a review of water markets and economic strategies for water management, and a summary of the cost of alternative water supply and demand strategies. The current volume also includes the regular update on the Pacific Institute's unique Water Conflict Chronology, with historical examples of conflicts related to water going back to 2500 BC and new entries through early 2017; a summary of the 2017 Pontifical Academy of Sciences Vatican meeting on the human right to water; and a review of critical issues around public access to water through drinking fountains. The World's Water has always been about more than just bad news. There is plenty of good news and there are many innovative efforts underway to identify and implement sustainable water solutions. The latest volume continues the tradition of bringing these solutions to students, the public, policy makers, and scientists working to understand the world of water.

Silent Muse is a gallery of lush and romantic fantasy portraits by artist Michael Cohen.

What is the greatest truth in your life that you can fully trust and IT IS NOT God, Love, Nature or Honesty?.Your inherent, 54-sense sanity contains the answer to this critical question as does this book. .Do you think you know it? Most people don't. .Until they are given the correct answer, a whopping 97% of the population says either they cannot find the answer or that it's impossible. .Be alarmed. Without a Great Trustable Truth (GTT) to correct the lies we constantly create and face, we remain vulnerable to the deceptions and corruption they produce. For this reason, we unwillingly reinforce today's age of dishonesty. .Because our omission of GTT has left us helpless with our deceits, we endure them and their destructive consequences. .Once a person is given the correct answer to the greatest truth question, they totally agree with it! In addition, they realize that they knew their Greatest Trustable Truth (GTT) all along!! However, as if we are brainwashed or traumatized, only special nature lovers and counselors have been interested in beneficially adding GTT to their lives and livelihood. The accredited course in this book enables them to accomplish along with others who recognize its contribution and value..This course text is a 54-sense, hands-on tool that unifies all things because it is designed be read in conjunction with a natural area, backyard or backcountry, or pet or potted plant. There it grounds and supports our often overlooked 54-sense natural intelligence. This immunizes us from our society's destructive lies while strengthening our natural integrity. Its nature-contact process empowers anyone to instantly blend their life with the whole life of Nature/Earth and other people as fiduciaries. .The Eco-Arts of this book's social technology scientifically transform our destructive attachments into constructive and loving relationships. By creating moments that let the life of Earth teach, it helps anybody fuse Nature's self-correcting wellness into their thoughts, dreams, and contacts. .With respect to GTT, most of us are in an advanced state of denial. We deny that our addictions, abuse and general emotional distress result from our pervasive fabrications and imitations that make the world fall apart. We also deny that GTT gives us the powerful transparency tool we desperately need to convert our deceitfulness into more responsible and happier relationships. .As the GTT survey shows, we educate and pay ourselves to omit GTT in our lives even though we hold GTT in common and it therapeutically unifies all things. .Our omission of GTT makes us continue to distort and suffer on personal, social and environmental levels. .Approximately 90% of the public is in some kind of therapy or support to help us cope with the assault from damaged parts of Contemporary Society on the natural integrity of our lives. However, these therapies also omit the organic psychology science of GTT. We remain dependent on the frailties of hope and prayer because Society continues to render most of us unable to invoke GTT..For a limited time period, Project NatureConnect is inviting nature lovers and counselors to master how to mentor people who want the extraordinary truth powers of GTT in their toolbox, lives and the world. To this end PNC has made a grant of $60 available to them so they may submit a trustworthy application to become part of a fiduciary GTT mentor online training community. www.ecopsych.com/lnementor.html
