Apologies for x-postings… Dear colleagues,
You may be interested in a new open-access book on global food and water security that has been published by Springer called "Eating, Drinking: Surviving”, edited by Peter Jackson, Walter Spiess, and myself. The book was produced as an activity of the International Year of Global Understanding (http://www.global-understanding.info/ <http://www.global-understanding.info/>) The entire book or individual chapters can be downloaded here: http://link.springer.com/book/10.1007%2F978-3-319-42468-2 <http://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-319-42468-2> Since books are often unaffordable to many students and scholars, especially in the developing world, this open-access book may be useful. I would be grateful if you could please pass on the info to other lists or folks who might benefit from this. The book addresses the global challenges of food and water security in a rapidly changing and complex world. The chapters highlight the links between bio-physical and socio-cultural processes, making connections between local and global scales, and focusing on the everyday practices of eating and drinking, essential for human survival. Written by international experts, each contribution is research-based but accessible to the general public. Non-English translations of the book are forthcoming. Please feel free to share this information with others who may be interested. Thank you!
