Charles Fishman Biography

The Big Thirst: The Secret Life and Turbulent Future of Water, by Charles Fishman, is the bestselling book on the water in America in the last 25 years. Fishman is a recognized investigative journalist who specializes in corporate innovation and social responsibility. He is an award-winning senior writer for Fast Company. The Big Thirst, Charles Fishman's latest book, investigates how water resources will define this century; a year after its publication, the book is a popular common read on college campuses and a must-read in boardrooms. In The Big Thirst, Fishman helps us rethink our relationship with water, our most important yet often misinterpreted resource. Fishman emphasizes the importance of water in the business sector (especially for businesses that appear to have nothing to do with water!) and the many contradictions of water in the developing world, leaving audiences with a hopeful vision of how current wasteful practices can be curtailed through ingenuity and conscientious stewardship. Fishman currently blogs on the water for National Geographic, broadening his coverage. Fishman provides us the ultimate look at how Wal-Mart has become, without precedent, the most powerful and influential corporation in the history of the world in his earlier book, The Wal-Mart Effect—a bestseller, a catchphrase, and an Economist Book of the Year. Fishman's language is balanced and snappy, and the lessons for other businesses are immense. Wal-Mart has changed the practices of its suppliers, the economic life of cities, the economies of the countries from which it buys its goods, and the buying habits of consumers, according to Fishman, all with one goal in mind: to save money for its customers. This is excellent take-home information for anyone in the business world.
