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

5.0

I know, I know, a 500+ page book about water, what was I thinking? But, Fresno girl that I used to be, I had to dive in. And wow, this book is so good, touching on the history and politics of California and all the ways that agriculture is really driving (or not) the state's long term sustainability. Even at 500 pages, it's a fast read and tells a compelling and heartbreaking story. Bravo, Mark Arax for your masterful storytelling.
