Paperback. Condition: New. Two billion people worldwide are without access to safe water. But solutions are hard to come by when causes are not clearly defined. In a whirlwind tour of global water insecurity, one of the world's leading experts on water politics chronicles the massive impact of climate change; the insatiable water demands of industry and agriculture; and the widespread lack of state investment in infrastructure. Filippo Menga focuses in particular on the high priests of global developmentalism - celebrities, CEOs, and sustainability directors - who have emerged as some of the loudest voices about water issues while offering few tangible solutions. Thirst shows that if humanity is to escape the deadlock that bedevils access to clean water, it has to reconsider both its faith in the market and its relationship with nature.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A sense of urgency about the global water crisis has entered the political and corporate discourse, and in humanitys quest to solve it, we are all called to rise to the challenge. However, solutions are hard to come by where causes are not clearly defined. And given the scale and geographic dispersion of the problem, there are many drivers of the crisis. In fact the global water crisis is only global in the sense that there are people in regions all over the world that are condemned to insecure water access . The acute reasons for lack of water vary from place to place. The one unifying factor is the global power of the market over the provision, allocation and maintenance of water supplies. Building on a critique of recent responses to the water crisis and their contradictions, the book interrogates how savior-like, high priests of a fetishized global developmentalism embodied by celebrities, CEOs, and sustainability directors are shaping global water governance. The book thus argues that if humanity is to escape the current deadlock that bedevils access to clean water around the world, it has to reconsider both its faith in the market and its relationship with nature. A groundbreaking account of the worsening global water crisis corporations and non-profits have failed to address Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
