520    Mark Nelson, PhD, takes us on a global expedition to learn
       how we are wasting the world’s dwindling supply of fresh 
       water by flushing away a very valuable resource, our own 
       human wastes! The author is founding director of the 
       Institute of Ecotechnics and has worked for several 
       decades in closed ecological systems research. As one of 
       eight brave souls enclosed in the pioneering Biosphere 2 
       experiment, Nelson realized how essential the proper use 
       of human waste is to the health of the planet. This, 
       combined with his lifelong love affair with constructed 
       wetlands, led to the discovery of Wastewater Gardens, an 
       important solution to some of our trickiest global 
       environmental dilemmas. While the problems and case 
       studies covered in this book are indeed quite serious, 
       Mark’s approach to the subject makes for a fun, down-to-
       earth and very informative read. The foreword is written 
       by renowned British environmentalist Tony Juniper.
