Opis

This is a unique, interdisciplinary study of potential solutions to the problem of diminished water supplies in the Eastern Mediterranean. The work demonstrates the need for integrated legal, social and scientific management systems, which are appropriate to each country's stage of development. The suggested solutions are not only applicable to the Eastern Mediterranean, but also serve as a paradigm for the rest of the world as it faces similar issues of water shortage.

Recenzje

'Losing Paradise is part wake up call, part haunting love cry for all who love the area's soul. A wonderful, important book.' Maude Barlow, Senior Advisor on Water to the President of the United Nations General Assembly 'This is one of the most informative, readable, and interesting books I have ever read on the broader cultural and social aspects of water management and use. I highly recommend this book to everyone involved in the planning and management of water at every scale.' Peter Loucks, Cornell University, USA
