Readings

The main readings for each week will come from the new book Unquenchable: America's water crisis and what to do about it by Robert Glennon (2009). In addition, we may read some handouts and websites that concentrate on related issues in the Northwest. It is your responsibility to do the readings before the seminar and come to class prepared to discuss them.

Unquenchable is available at many local bookstores and libraries and can also be purchased from Amazon.com for $18.45.
