Sinopsis

At publication date, a free ebook version of this title will be available through Luminos, University of California Press' Open Access publishing program. This exciting volume presents the work and research of the Rivers of the Anthropocene Network, an international collaborative group of scientists, social scientists, humanists, artists, policy makers, and community organizers working to produce innovative transdisciplinary research on global freshwater systems. In an attempt to bridge disciplinary divides, the essays in this volume address the challenge in studying the intersection of biophysical and human sociocultural systems in the age of the Anthropocene. Featuring contributions from authors in a rich diversity of disciplines-from toxicology to archaeology to philosophy - this book is an excellent resource for students and scholars studying both freshwater systems and the Anthropocene.

De la contraportada

"Rivers of the Anthropocene shows how human relationships with river systems changed along with transformations in society and culture. It compels us to understand the historical perspectives on our relationship with nature that are so important in shaping our attitudes about both the environment and our own societies. This book has immense value for readers across disciplines."—Anik Bhaduri, Executive Director of Future Earth's Sustainable Water Future Programme and Associate Professor, Griffith University, Australia
