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. 410 0$aEnvironmental Anthropology and Ethnobiology 517 $aDelta Life 606 $aDeltas$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aDeltas 606 $aEthnology 606 $aWater supply 606 $aNATURE / Natural Resources$2bisacsh 610 $aEnvironmental Studies (General), Anthropology (General), Sociology. 615 0$aDeltas$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aDeltas. 615 0$aEthnology. 615 0$aWater supply. 615 7$aNATURE / Natural Resources. 676 $a304.20914/6 700 $aKrause$b Franz$01205450 701 $aHarris$b Mark$f1969 March 12-.$01273015 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996552364003316 996 $aDelta Life$92999052 997 $aUNISA
