James Workman began his award-winning career as a journalist in Washington, D.C. for The New Republic, Washington Monthly, Utne Reader, Orion, Washington Business Journal, and other publications. In the Clinton administration he served as speechwriter and special assistant to Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt, releasing wolves back into the wild, restoring the natural role of fire in western forests, and spearheading a national campaign that blew up obsolete dams to replenish dying rivers. For seven years in Africa and Asia he helped forge the landmark report of the World Commission on Dams, filed overseas dispatches on water scarcity, led radio and TV documentary research safaris, spoke at universities, and advised global businesses, aid agencies, and conservation organizations on water policy. Based on his experience with the Kalahari Bushmen, he is pioneering new platforms for trading the human right to water. He lives in San Francisco with his wife Vanessa and their two daughters Camille and Louise. Please visit James Workman's web site, www.heartofdryness.com
