520			_aAn industry-wide best-seller hailed on its first publication as a masterly account written in an engaging, highly readable style, The Drinking Water Handbook, 2nd ed., continues where the first edition began; that is, stressing that notwithstanding our absolute need to breathe untainted air, nothing is more important to us than the quality of the water we drink, though of course, we need clean water for other uses as well.
