Giulio Boccaltti provides a master class on water, politics and social organization in this fascinating discussion of his book Water: biography (Pantheon Books, 2021). His “History of People and Water” traces the historical dialectic between the practical realities of water management and the development of political ideologies, and he justifies the republicanism of authoritarianism in dealing with climate change.
Dr. Bokalet is the Scientific Director of the Euro-Mediterranean Center for the Climate Change Foundation, an honorary research associate at the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment at the University of Oxford and executive producer of the upcoming PBS/BBC Studios Series “The future of nature. “
