But the spectre of a worldwide water crisis suggests there might be something fundamentally wrong with the way we think about water. Jamie Linton dives into the history of water as an abstract concept, stripped of its environmental, social, and cultural contexts. Reduced to a scientific abstraction--to mere H[subscript 2]O--this concept has given modern society licence to dam, divert, and manipulate water with apparent impunity. Part of the solution to the water crisis involves reinvesting water with social content, thus altering the way we see water. What Is Water? offers a fresh approach to a fundamental problem."--BOOK JACKET. 410 0$aNature, history, society,$x1713-6680. 606 $aWater 606 $aHydrologic cycle 606 $aWater$xHistory 606 $aWater$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aWater$xSocial aspects 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWater. 615 0$aHydrologic cycle. 615 0$aWater$xHistory. 615 0$aWater$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aWater$xSocial aspects. 676 $a553.7 700 $aLinton$b Jamie$0927807 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452947603321 996 $aWhat is water$92084518 997 $aUNINA
