This book addresses paradigm shifts in water policy and governance,
and examines the role of civil society organizations in influencing
public policy, while focusing on social equity and democratic

articles provides a comprehensive and current narrative of the
state-society relations in South Asia under neoliberal governance
reforms, their implications and key responses with regard to water
policies. Using case studies, it closely investigates the impact,
effectiveness, drawbacks and challenges faced by voluntary
organizations and social movements working at various levels in the
water sector. The work will interest researchers and students of
development studies, environmental studies, natural resource
management, water governance, and public administration, as also
water sector professionals, policymakers, civil society activists
and governmental and non-governmental organizations.

N.C. Wyeth's illustrations to Treasure Island and Kidnapped - first
published in 1911 and 1913, respectively, by Charles Scribner's
Sons - made his artistic reputation. With a bold mastery of light
and colour, Wyeth brilliantly conveyed action, character, and
setting, lending an extra excitement to Robert Louis Stevenson's
tales of pirates and buried treasure, and intrigue in the Scottish
Highlands. Now readers can enjoy this classic author-illustrator
pairing in a handsome two-volume slipcased set, typeset anew and
printed and bound to a high standard. This collectible set also
includes a new introduction by Christine B. Podmaniczky, a leading
expert on N.C. Wyeth. She reveals Wyeth's daring approach to these
illustrations - which he painted at a large scale, directly on the
canvas - and explores their later influence on visual culture,
including stage and screen adaptations of Stevenson's novels. Also
