I’ve recently discovered the excellent book Blue Planet Run, which I came across after seeing photographer Rick Smolan’s TED lecture. He’s the guy behind the “Day in the Life” series of photo books that were so ubiquitous awhile ago. Anyway, Blue Planet Run is a book he created, full of amazing photos, statistics, and essays about the worldwide water crisis. It was originally offered as a free e-book, and after a little hunting around, I found a pdf copy of it to download on RapidShare. It seems to be virus free and is definitely worth having a look at, either in hard copy or e-version.
