This is a dense, clearly well-researched book about the relationship between water and Asia. Amrith is clearly well-versed in this subject but at times I felt the information was a little scattered and often felt my mind wandering as I tried to connect and process all of the facts. I think this would be a great book for someone researching similar topics and needing references. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

"Asia's history has been shaped by her waters. In Unruly Waters, historian Sunil Amrith reimagines Asia's history through the stories of its rains, rivers, coasts, and seas--and of the weather-watchers and engineers, mapmakers and farmers who have sought to control them. Looking out from India, he shows how dreams and fears of water shaped visions of political independence and economic development, provoked efforts to reshape nature through dams and pumps, and unleashed powerful tensions within and between nations. Today, Asian nations are racing to construct hundreds of dams in the Himalayas, with dire environmental impacts; hundreds of millions crowd into coastal cities threatened by cyclones and storm surges. In an age of climate change, Unruly Waters is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand Asia's past and its future." -- Amazon.com. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
