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. 606 $aWater-supply$zMexico$zMexico City$y21st century 606 $aWater resources development$zMexico$zMexico City$y21st century 606 $aWater$zMexico$zMexico City$xHistory 606 $aGroundwater$zMexico$zMexico City 606 $aBaths$zMexico$zMexico City$xHistory 606 $aMineral waters$zMexico$zMexico City 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $a18th century. 610 $aacademic. 610 $abathing. 610 $abiology. 610 $achemistry. 610 $acommunity. 610 $acultural. 610 $acultures. 610 $adomination. 610 $aearly modern. 610 $agroundwater. 610 $ahot springs. 610 $ahydraulics. 610 $alaw and order. 610 $alegal issues. 610 $amexican tourist. 610 $amexico city. 610 $amexico. 610 $amid atlantic. 610 $amineral springs. 610 $anatural phenomenon. 610 $anatural world. 610 $anature. 610 $apolicing. 610 $apublic baths. 610 $arelaxation. 610 $aresearch. 610 $arevolution. 610 $aspa tourism. 610 $aspa. 610 $atourist. 610 $atravel mexico. 610 $atravel. 610 $awater. 615 0$aWater-supply 615 0$aWater resources development 615 0$aWater$xHistory. 615 0$aGroundwater 615 0$aBaths$xHistory. 615 0$aMineral waters 676 $a615.8/53 700 $aWalsh$b Casey$0869234 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910268954603321 996 $aVirtuous Waters$92055511 997 $aUNINA
