“Dr. Joyce Starr’s book was a revelation to me. She has woven many diverse monologues into a chorus.” – Don Sider, Time Magazine
“Congratulations for the well-deserved recognition your book has achieved. You have made a remarkable reputation for yourself. This book will only add to it all!” – Ambassador Stuart Eizenstat
“Critical reading! Starr makes a compelling case that one of the greatest threats to Middle East peace–and indeed world peace–will be lack of fresh water.” – Senator Paul Simon
“Dr. Joyce Starr’s book should be read by those who formulate policy, by those affected by policy, and by all interested in the capacity of the Middle East to attain the aspirations common to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.” – Ambassador Max M. Kampleman
“Starr’s many years of experience shaping water policies in the Middle East have yielded a work that is a must for anyone with a serious interest in the region’s future.” – Kirkus Reviews
“Great book and great information. I’ve carried it around with me like a bible. I’ve read it three times. I mark it up and even took it to the hair dresser. You are such a blessing. I don’t like your book, I love it.” – Sara B., Chicago.
“Compelling! Starr predicts growing water scarcity, pollution and drought unless world leaders undertake regional water security pacts and coordinated planning.” – Publishers Weekly
“Dr. Joyce Starr has provided a work which is at once spiritual and physical, poetic and real. Her fascinating presentation is both political analysis and commentary, and a warning of the risk in ignoring the
issue.” -Rabbi Dr. Yitzchok Aharon Korff, Jewish Chaplain of Boston
“I have read this book with amusement and admiration for the insight and Wisdom it contains. It will be very helpful to me, and I am sure to others in the days ahead.” – John Cardinal O’Connor, Archbishop of New York
“Starr’s book is not your usual work of nonfiction. It is not a textbook on the issue, although it contains data and maps. It is not a tract, although there is an intense feel to the work.Instead, it is a remarkably personal book by one of the leading water experts in the US.” – Steve Rodan, Jerusalem Post
“Dr. Starr’s book offers the reader a true perspective on different approaches to this very special and complicated relationship.” – Ambassador Avi Pazner, Director General, Prime Minister’s Bureau, Israel
“This book helps every condo owner or HOA member understand the true reality of condo and HOA living.” – Florida Representative Julio Robaina
“Starr is a storyteller, drawing her material out of chance encounters and personal experiences. This book is a very good read.” – Book Review Digest
“Thank goodness for Dr. Joyce Starr! She’s a compassionate advocate for the homeowner in distress: the condo owner or HOA member facing bullying Board members who think they do not have to answer to the law, common sense or human decency. Dr. Starr helps you define your case against their tyranny. Reading her book (DEFEND YOUR CONDO AND HOMEOWNER RIGHTS) has been quite an education into just how nasty power-tripping boards can be. But having her direct input into my particular situation through her consultation service was an incredible benefit. Dr. Starr helped me deal with the particulars of a run away condo board train that seems, more often than not, in need of serious derailment. It was wonderful to be able to call on her for advice in such an inhumane and nearly diabolical fight.” – Gary Hoch, Georgia
“I do not think I could have ever made it through the Condo legal jungle as you did. Thus far yours was much thicker and filled with much larger animals of prey. Nevertheless, there is great comfort in finding a friend out there that has been there and done that.” – H. B, North Carolina
