The book presents ‘delta life’ with intimate descriptions of the predicaments, imaginations and activities of delta inhabitants. Conceptually, the collection develops ‘delta life’ as a metaphor for approaching continual and intersecting sociocultural, economic and material transformations more widely. The book revolves around questions of hydrosociality, volatility, rhythms and scale. It thereby yields insights into people’s lives that conventional, hydrological approaches to deltas cannot provide.Environmental Anthropology and Ethnobiology Delta LifeDeltasEnvironmental aspectsDeltasEthnologyWater supplyNATURE / Natural ResourcesbisacshEnvironmental Studies (General), Anthropology (General), Sociology.DeltasEnvironmental aspects.Deltas.Ethnology.Water supply.NATURE / Natural Resources.304.20914/6Krause Franz1205450Harris Mark1969 March 12-.1273015MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910545200603321Delta Life2999052UNINA
