Despite the central importance that water has held for
civilizations both ancient and modern, its social significance has
made surprisingly little impact on our contemporary understanding
of human history and development. Dominant interpretations of the
relationship between society and nature have remained water blind.
In this book, historian and leading water expert Terje Tvedt argues
for a change that acknowledges the significant role played by water
in societal development. Reflecting his expertise as a geographer,
historian and a political scientist, and drawing on his wide
experience of water issues around the world, Terje Tvedt's Water
and Society provides a long overdue reappraisal of the relationship
between water and society, one that gives water its rightful place
as central to any true understanding of human history and
development.
