Summary: Humans take more than their geological share of water, butthey do not benefit from it equally. This imbalance hascreated an era of intense water scarcity that affects thesecurity of individuals, states, and the global economy.For many, this brazen water grab and the socialinequalities it produces reflect the lack of a coherentphilosophy connecting people to the planet. Challengingthis view, Jeremy Schmidt shows how water was made a^"resource^" that linked geology, politics, and culture toAmerican institutions. Understanding the global spread andevolution of this philosophy is now key to addressinginequalities that exist on a geological scale. Water:Abundance, Scarcity, and Security in the Age of Humanity,details the remarkable intellectual history of America^'swater management philosophy. It shows how this philosophyshaped early twentieth-century conservation in the UnitedStates, influenced American international developmentprograms, and ultimately shaped programs of globalgovernance that today connect water resources to the Earthsystem. Schmidt demonstrates how the ways we think aboutwater reflect specific public and societal values, andilluminates the process by which the American approach towater management came to dominate the global conversationabout water. Debates over how human impacts on the planetare connected to a new geological epoch - the Anthropocene- tend to focus on either the social causes ofenvironmental crises or scientific assessments of theEarth system. Schmidt shows how, when it comes to water,the two are one and the same. The very way we think aboutmanaging water resources validates putting ever more waterto use for some human purposes at the expense of others. -- Provided by publisher. | | หัวเรื่อง |
