RVK: RVK: LC 51000Online resources: Summary: Water is never just H2O. It is always more. It has its own ways of world-making and is much more than just a substance or a commodity. Water is also a focal point of religious meanings and inspires cultural practices. The book shows the different forms, the wide range and the impressive diversity of people´s dealings with water in different cultures. It presents case studies from various parts of the world, staging problems about changing accessibility of water and the expectations of men and women at different places. While focusing on the micro level the transdisciplinary approach highlights the fundamental differences of water related meanings and practices.PPN: PPN: 1651939705Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-73-CVS12 | NRW-Preselect-Auswahl | ZDB-73-CVA | ZDB-73-CVS
