Water, Cultural Diversity, and Global Environmental Change: Emerging Trends, Sustainable Futures? by Ameyali Ramos Castillo, Lisa Hiwasaki, Veronica Strang, Barbara Rose Johnston, Irene J. Klaver (Hardcover, 2011)
Co-published with UNESCO A product of the UNESCO-IHP project on Water and Cultural Diversity, this book represents an effort to examine the complex role water plays as a force in sustaining, maintaining, and threatening the viability of culturally diverse peoples. It is argued that water is a fundamental human need, a human right, and a core sustaining element in biodiversity and cultural diversity. The core concepts utilized in this book draw upon a larger trend in sustainability science, a recognition of the synergism and analytical potential in utilizing a coupled biological and social systems analysis, as the functioning viability of nature is both sustained and threatened by humans.
