Scientists predict that the depletion of freshwater resources will affect 75% of the world's population by 2050. Unbounded urbanization, destruction of nature, and climate change are the main drivers of this crisis. In Thirst, Steven Mithen addresses the water crisis we are experiencing by offering a historical perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: inline !important; float: none; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: inherit; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"border-bottom-color: currentColor; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-image-outset: 0; border-image-repeat: stretch; border-image-slice: 100%; border-image-source: none; border-image-width: 1; border-left-color: currentColor; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-color: currentColor; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-color: currentColor; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; orphans: 2; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 12px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;\"\u003eSince the Neolithic Revolution, water has been seen as a commodity and a source of economic power. History is full of ambitious water management projects and examples of hydraulic engineering. Mithen takes the reader on a journey through time: from the Sumerians, who became a civilization with their success in agricultural irrigation, to the Nabataeans, who created an oasis in the middle of the desert, from the Minoans, the inventors of the flush toilet, to the baths of the Roman Empire, from the inter-city aqueducts of Constantinople to the water canals of China, Thirst spans the globe and is a comprehensive book that brings together past experiences to guide the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: inline !!important; float: none; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: inherit; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"border-bottom-color: currentColor; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-image-outset: 0; border-image-repeat: stretch; border-image-slice: 100%; border-image-source: none; border-image-width: 1; border-left-color: currentColor; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-color: currentColor; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-color: currentColor; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; orphans: 2; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 12px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;\"\u003eSteven Mithen is a professor of archaeology and pro-vice-chancellor at the University of Reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003csub\u003e\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003csup\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cstrike\u003e\u003c\/strike\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Koç Üniversitesi Yayınları","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39408999825603,"sku":"9786059389297","price":55.56,"currency_code":"TRY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/3950\/7395\/products\/9786059389297.jpg?v=1616017854","url":"https:\/\/yemkitabevi.com\/en-us\/products\/susuzluk-antik-dunyada-su-ve-iktidar_350436-html","provider":"YEM Kitabevi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
