Dominant interpretations of the relationship between society and nature have remained water blind. In Water and Society historian and leading water expert Terje Tvedt argues for a change that acknowledges the significant role played by water in societal development. Reflecting his expertise as a geographer, historian and a political scientist, and drawing on his wide experience of water issues around the world, Terje Tvedt s Water and Society provides a long overdue reappraisal of the relationship between water and society, one that gives water its rightful place as central to any true understanding of human history and development."."-- Provided by publisher. 517 $aWater and society 606 $aWater and civilization 615 0$aWater and civilization. 676 $a809.933553 700 $aTvedt$b Terje$0661201 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910597895503321 996 $aWater and society$92245766 997 $aUNINA
