Dear Colleagues, As some of you may know, I have been working on a book about the history of drinking water for the past few years. It blessedly, thankfully, finally has been published. Scientific American has listed it as a "Recommended Read" for November and Natural History is excerpting it in their December issue. My ultimate measure of success, however, rests on whether it is sold in airport bookstores. The book website is at www.drinkingwaterhistory.com<http://www.drinkingwaterhistory.com>
cheers, -js p.s. If you are interested in the connection between drinking water and Hurricane Sandy, via a brief history featuring Aaron Burr, Alexander Hamilton, and discriminating horses, you may want to check out my recent Op Ed in the Washington Post. http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/our-water-system-withstood-hurricane-sandy-but-the-threats-arent-over/2012/11/09/10568eec-2902-11e2-b4e0-346287b7e56c_story.html <>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<> Professor Jim Salzman Samuel Fox Mordecai Professor of Law Nicholas Institute Professor of Environmental Policy Duke University Box 90360 Durham, NC 27708 office (1)919.613.7185 fax (1) 919.613.7231 <>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>
