Heart of dryness: how the last bushmen can help us endure the coming age of permanent drought

This book chronicles the memorable saga of the famed bushmen of the Kalahari, at the exact epicenter of Africa's drought, in their widely publicised recent battle with the government of Botswana. Doing so, it explores the larger story of what many feel has become the primary resource battleground of the twenty-first century: the supply of water. It illuminates the present and coming tensions we will all face over water and shows how, from the remoteness of the Kalahari, an ancient and resilient people is showing the world a viable path through the encroaching Dry Age.
