Rivers of the Anthropocene

About this book

This exciting volume presents the work and research of the Rivers of the Anthropocene Network, an international collaborative group of scientists, social scientists, humanists, artists, policy makers, and community organizers working to produce innovative transdisciplinary research on global freshwater systems. In an attempt to bridge disciplinary divides, the essays in Rivers of the Anthropocene address the challenge in studying the intersection of biophysical and human sociocultural systems in the age of the Anthropocene. Featuring contributions from authors in a rich diversity of disciplines – from toxicology to archaeology to philosophy – Rivers of the Anthropocene is an excellent resource for students and scholars studying both freshwater systems and the Anthropocene.
