The water wars of the twenty-first century may match -- or even surpass -- the oil wars of the twentieth. In Water Wars: Privatization, Pollution and Profit, acclaimed author Vandana Shiva sheds light on the activists who are fighting corporate manoeuvres to convert this life-sustaining resource into more gold for the elites. In Water Wars, Shiva uses her remarkable knowledge of science and society to outline the emergence of corporate culture and the historical erosion of communal water rights. Using the international water trade and industrial activities such as damming, mining, and aquafarming as her lens, Shiva exposes the destruction of the earth and the disenfranchisement of the world's poor as they are stripped of rights to a precious common good.Shiva calls for a movement to preserve water access for all, and offers a blueprint for global resistance based on examples of successful campaigns.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 215mmItem Length: 135mmItem Weight: 200gAuthor: Vandana ShivaGenre: Business & FinanceTopic: Science Nature & Math, Technology & EngineeringRelease Year: 2002 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
