One Well fills a huge void. While many governments and global institutions are beginning to sound the alarm on the world water crisis, we have yet to incorporate a “water consciousness†among our young or the population in general. This beautifully illustrated and superbly written book is exactly the tool needed to bring awareness of the life-giving importance of water to a whole new generation. Maude Barlow, Chair, Council of Canadians, Author of Blue Gold
One Well is much needed drink for those of us thirsting to help protect our Planet's threatened water supplies. Appropriate for children of all ages, this richly illustrated book provides valuable perspectives on the sources of water, value to all living things,
present threats and constructive suggestions for water conservation. Bravo to Ms. Strauss and Woods for a valuable contribution to a subject vital to us all. Jean-Michel Cousteau, Founder and President Ocean Futures Society, Inc.
One Well is a brilliant contribution to the United Nation's International Decade for Action 'Water for Life' -2005 to 2015. This beautifully illustrated and wonderfully written book should be read and acted upon by every family member. I would also hope that it would someday be available in every school library in the world as the message it brings is so critical to all humans and indeed all life on the planet. Charles Hopkins, UNESCO Chair Reorienting Teacher Education to Address Sustainability, and
UN University Chair for Education for Sustainable Development
