Promotional graphic for SEJournal BookShelf featuring the cover of Planet Aqua by Jeremy Rifkin. The cover shows Earth floating against a starry blue background with the subtitle “Rethinking Our Home in the Universe.” Behind it is a scenic lake and mountain landscape. Text at the bottom reads: “Review: Is Our Inextricable Link to Water the Key to Human Survival?” and “SEJournal BookShelf” with the SEJ logo.

Do we live on a land planet — or inside a vast #hydrosphere? In Planet Aqua, Jeremy Rifkin argues water isn’t just a resource, but the source of life itself. #SEJournalBookShelf editor Tom Henry explores the bold rethink.
