Description
At publication date, a free ebook version of this title will be available through Luminos, University of California Press' Open Access publishing program. 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 this volume 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 - this book is an excellent resource for students and scholars studying both freshwater systems and the Anthropocene.

Reviews
"This book would be a stimulating choice for a graduate seminar bringing in students and fac- ulty from all across the university to discuss the multiple ways in which we see and value rivers (or other ecosystems, for that matter), and how we might best recognize those multiple viewpoints." * Basic and Applied Ecology *
