Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. A remarkable combination of memoir, science, exploration, and geopolitics, Water and Peace chronicles the career of French geophysicist Dr. Alain Gachet, whose pioneering remote-sensing technology has been used to locate deep groundwater beneath some of th…e world's most arid and conflict-ridden regions. Moving from oil exploration in Gabon and Kazakhstan to humanitarian missions in Darfur, Kenya, Iraq, Kurdistan, Libya, and beyond, Gachet recounts how satellite imaging and geophysical analysis have transformed access to potable water for millions of people. Richly illustrated with field photography, WATEX imagery, Landsat comparisons, and expedition photographs, the volume reads as both an adventure narrative and an important contribution to environmental diplomacy and humanitarian science. This copy is a true First Edition, First Printing published in Great Britain by Arcadia Books in 2023, with the complete number line ending in "1." The book and dust jacket are both in As New condition. The blue cloth boards remain perfectly clean and square with sharp corners, bright gilt spine lettering, and an exceptionally tight, unread-feeling binding. The pages are crisp, clean, and unmarked throughout. The unclipped dust jacket retains the original £25.00 price on the rear flap and shows no discernible shelf wear, tears, rubbing, creasing, fading, or edge wear. An excellent collector's copy suitable for gift-giving or a modern first-edition collection. One of the most striking features of this first edition is its restrained but highly symbolic jacket design by Steve Leard, featuring a blue water droplet enclosing the international peace symbol. Rather than relying on photographic imagery, the cover distills the book's central argument - that access to groundwater can become an instrument of peace - into a memorable visual identity. Inside, the extensive use of WATEX satellite imagery, expedition photography, and documentary illustrations distinguishes the volume from a conventional memoir, making it an appealing crossover collectible for readers interested in exploration, environmental history, hydrogeology, and modern humanitarian science. Dr. Alain Gachet (b. 1951) is a French nuclear physicist, mining engineer, petroleum geologist, and geophysicist best known as the founder of RTI Exploration and developer of WATEX technology for detecting deep groundwater using satellite data and advanced geophysical algorithms. A recipient of France's Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur and a 2016 inductee into the Space Technology Hall of Fame, Gachet has helped locate major groundwater reserves across Africa and the Middle East, bringing reliable drinking water to communities affected by drought, conflict, and humanitarian crises. His work has been recognized internationally for demonstrating how space technology can address one of humanity's most pressing environmental challenges. Dust jacket design by Steve Leard (illustrator).

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. In countries where scarce surface water causes disease and conflict, an abundance of water can bring peace.With the growing impact of climate change, an estimated one third of the world's population lacks fresh water. By 2050 it could well be over half, some five billion people.Alain Gachet,… known as the "Wizard of H2O", explores and unravels the interrelated humanitarian, environmental, scientific and geo-political concerns generated by water scarcity. An archaeological explorer and mining engineer, Gachet has developed a technology (using Nasa satellite imagery) to identify massive aquifers beneath the earth's surface using a mathematical algorithm that could completely change our future. As well as exploring our current environmental crisis (and offering some solutions), Gachet gives an account of his extraordinary adventures as a mining engineer both before and since he became an expert in deep groundwater - in Congo; in Libya, where he has an audience with Colonel Gaddafi; in Darfur, where he works alongside refugee agencies to provide water to vast camps, often at risk to his life; in Iraq and in Kurdistan, where he encounters both the Peshmerga and the Yazidi people; and in the Turkana region of Kenya, where his discoveries of vast underground reservoirs have been transformative to the lives of the people in an area plagued by drought and disputes over livestock for generations.Gachet discusses the critical issues of climate change and desertification, melting glaciers and rising sea levels, but this is also a book about the people he meets in some of the world's most challenging zones of conflict and deprivation. Ultimately this is a book of hope as we explore some of the solutions for the future."If the quest to find high-quality water for millions has a superstar, that person is Alain Gachet. Living a truly adventurous life in a scientific field where underground water is hidden and elusive, he has advanced the science and, at the same time, uniquely served society. This is an exciting story of risk, daring, hydrophilanthropy, and reflection on one of the most important challenges facing humankind." DAVID K. KREAMER, President, International Association of Hydrogeologists A journey through the world's most explosive conflict zones in search of deep water Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
