"The Struggle for Water brings together a wide variety of materials on the issues and controversies surrounding the complex subject of water ownership and freshwater privatization. It presents a general overview of the state of the world's freshwater and offers articles on both sides of the privatization controversy. Sections also deal with cooperation and conflict over water resources, international trade in water, and the role of dams. The anthology also includes a six-part debate on the issue. The work concludes with an appendix of primary documents on important aspects of the topic. A general introduction and introductory essays to each chapter give the reader the necessary background to put the issue in perspective."--Jacket "Speaking, Listening and Understanding is the first text designed specifically to introduce debate to new English language speakers.
