Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. 'Ignoring water's essential role as the connective tissue of all life on Earth is widespread. Unfortunately, the response to each environmental problem tends to be piecemeal -- addressing one threat rather than responding with complex solutions that will address the underlying problems.' Over the past four decades artist, activist and teacher Betsy Damon has studied virtually every aspect of water, from the essence of water drops to whole water systems and their connections to life on earth. Over the years, she has witnessed the decline in water quality around the world as a result of human actions. In this comprehensive and insightful book, Damon writes about our interdependence with water in every aspect of life. She discusses many of the technical, social, and ethical issues we face and our individual and collective responsibility for addressing the decline in water quality. Damon argues that lasting solutions to this problem depend on a fundamental understanding and empirical knowledge of water and its role for all life on earth. She provides an overview of water as a fundamental human right and describes how that right has been curtailed through pollution and the commercialisation of water supplies. Through inspiring personal stories and projects, scientific and technological studies and solutions, Damon reveals how to better appreciate and approach the problems so that clean water, air and soil can be available for all life. A comprehensive and insightful conversation about our independence with water, featuring inspiring personal stories, scientific studies and solutions. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'At the time of writing, I have lived on Planet Earth for eighty-three years. I have seen so much change, and that includes advances in living standards for millions of people on the one hand, and the increasing destruction of the environment on the other. Somehow, we must find a middle path. This is why Betsy wrote this book. All people need to be empowered to know their waters and to take charge of lifesaving decisions.' -- Dr. Jane GoodallThe artist, activist, and teacher Betsy Damon has focused on virtually every aspect of water during the past four decades, from the essence of water drops to whole water systems and their connections to life on earth. Over the years, she has borne witness to the decline in water quality around the world as a result of human activities.In this comprehensive, exciting, and accessible book, Damon writes about our interdependence with water in every aspect of life, discussing many of the technical, social, and ethical issues we face and our individual and communal responsibility for addressing the immanent crises we are facing. As she states, 'Ignoring water's essential role as the connective tissue of all life on Earth is widespread. Unfortunately, the response to each environmental problem tends to be piecemeal--addressing one threat rather than responding with complex solutions that will address the underlying problems.' The author insists that genuine, lasting solutions require a fundamental understanding and empirical knowledge of water and its role for all life on Earth. She begins with an overview of water as a fundamental human right and how that right has been curtailed through wanton pollution and the commercialization of water supplies. Through personal stories and projects, scientific and technological studies, and encouraging solutions, she takes the reader through many ways in which we can better appreciate and approach existing problems so that 'clean water, air, and soil would be available for all life without a price tag.' As Jane Goodall points out in her foreword, this book 'contains inspiring moments and successes of people and communities that have organized around saving a water place. It also provides rays of hope.'. …
