| Zusammenfassung: | "This book calls for us to develop an informed ethos of respect for water, to save ourselves. It counts on readers to reflect honestly on the intimate relationship we have developed with the substance, because the stakes are high. Water has qualities which make it nourishing, cleansing, and unifying. But, as the book shows, we pump aquifers dry, contaminate lakes, fight over rivers, generally using and abusing water at will. Cases from all over the world and especially from the Middle East detail how the lure of profit defeats the counsel to use water sustainably, how chauvinist ideologies lead to inequality with monotonous predictability, and how the violent logic of war both weaponizes and victimizes water. It argues that what we do with water whilst it is in our hands mirrors our behaviour to each other, and that society needs to understand water in a new way to reverse the desecration." |
