Thirst: Water and Power in the Ancient World

Freshwater shortages will affect 75% of the worldâ€™s population by 2050. Mithen puts this crisis into context by exploring 10,000 years of water management. Thirst tells of civilizations defeated by the water challenge, and of technological ingenuity that sustained communities in hostile environments. Work with nature, not against it, he advises.
