The Dreamt Land: Chasing Water and Dust Across California by Mark Arax

5.0

This book was fascinating and very current to the politics of water (rights), farming(supposedly life resources), and billionaires who are the corporate farmers. Most of the farms are owned by a few individuals and their corporations,millions of acres of Almond trees, etc. The fight over water rights (who should get what) going back several hundred years, so prevalent to today's desperate thirst over who should get what. If you are a Californian this should be a required read in high school and above. The challenge of this book is it is very, long, but GREAT!
