Explore the complex relationship between humans and water in Jeremy Schmidt’s “Water,” available at The Bookish Owl. This insightful book delves into the unequal distribution and overconsumption of Earth’s most vital resource, leading to critical scarcity that impacts global security and economies. Schmidt challenges the notion that this imbalance stems from a lack of philosophical connection to our planet. Instead, he unveils the intellectual history behind how water became a “resource” intertwined with American institutions, linking geology, politics, and culture. Discover how this distinctly American philosophy of water management has shaped global conversations and international governance, influencing how we understand water resources within the Earth system. Understand the deep societal values reflected in our approach to water and find new perspectives on addressing inequalities on a geological scale.
