It traces the evolving ideas about these waters, from European contact to the present, in order to shed new light on human-environment relations in the modern world. Our relation to water is among the most urgent of global issues, as increasing scarcity and pollution threaten food shortages, deteriorating public health, and the collapse of aquatic ecosystems. Drawing on ideas from political ecology, the author brings together an analysis of the shifts in the concept of water and a material history of environments, infrastructures, and bathing. The book analyzes a range of issues concerning complex "water cultures" that have formed around Mexican groundwaters over time and suggests that this understanding might also help us comprehend and confront the water crisis that is coming to a head in the twenty-first century"--Provided by publisher.Water-supplyMexicoMexico City21st centuryWater resources developmentMexicoMexico City21st centuryWaterMexicoMexico CityHistoryGroundwaterMexicoMexico CityBathsMexicoMexico CityHistoryMineral watersMexicoMexico CityElectronic books. 18th century.academic.bathing.biology.chemistry.community.cultural.cultures.domination.early modern.groundwater.hot springs.hydraulics.law and order.legal issues.mexican tourist.mexico city.mexico.mid atlantic.mineral springs.natural phenomenon.natural world.nature.policing.public baths.relaxation.research.revolution.spa tourism.spa.tourist.travel mexico.travel.water.Water-supplyWater resources developmentWaterHistory.GroundwaterBathsHistory.Mineral waters615.8/53Walsh Casey869234MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910268954603321Virtuous Waters2055511UNINA
