Previous praise for Alex Prud'homme: A tightly written, thoroughly researched, almost encyclopedic book. --The Cleveland Plain Dealer, on The Ripple Effect The Ripple Effect is true to its title, following the myriad reverberations from our use and abuse of this most abundant, ubiquitous resource. The book plunges in and rarely comes up for air. --Washington Post
