Review Quotes: "The editors and authors of this remarkable volume help remind us just how crucial it is to balance the measurable with the intangible, even moral, attributes of water. The rich constructs and case studies of equity in practice around the world help restore long-neglected equilibrium to dialog over what is by nature an intensely holistic and unifying resource."--Aaron Wolf, Department of Geosciences, Oregon State University
