What Is Water?: The History of a Modern Abstraction Paperback - 2010
by Jamie Linton
From the jacket flap
Jamie Lintondives into the history of water as an abstract concept, stripped of its environmental, social, and cultural contexts. Reduced to a scientific abstraction - to mere H20 - 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.
