The No-Nonsense Guide to Water by Maggie Black
Water sustains life: without it, humans cannot survive for more than a few days. And yet this precious fluid is becoming increasingly politicized as the debates about control and ownership of water itself, and of the many organizations which govern its use, gain force. Maggie Black explores the many roles water plays in human life and, as the defense of water rights looks set to become an explosive issue, provides a clear overview on the vital issues of distribution, technology, irrigation, land use and commodification.
Maggie Black is a writer and editor on social issues. She has worked as a consultant for UNICEF, WaterAid, Anti-Slavery International, IPEC/ILO, SCF and Oxfam, and is a trustee of the UK Committee for UNICEF. She is the author of Children First: The story of UNICEF and A Cause for our Times: OXFAM: The First 50 years.
