As a vital human need; water has been absolutely critical to decisions as to where cities originate; how much they grow and the standard of living of the inhabitants. The relationship is complex however; we need both continual availability and protection from its potential impacts. Over recent decades flooding and scarcity episodes have become commonplace in even the most advanced countries ndash; and these events cannot be disassociated from the socio-economic context within which they occur; being directly related to how we live; where we live and how we govern.This book draws together information on a host of connected subjects from population growth to water scarcity to the relationship between humanity and nature; then demonstrates how utilizing notions of risk and resilience could help improve the relationship between the city and its most precious resource. Combining discussions of risk; water and spatial planning it provides an invaluable text for planning; geography and urban studies students on how to address urban water problems within a rapidly changing world.

Absolutely perfect for small choirsBy Emily C ReynoldsIve been looking for *years* for a book like this---songs that are EASY to learn for Christmas but that have beautiful arrangements. This book is full of familiar Christmas carols arranged with classical melodies that complement the theme of the carol. Very easy to learn and the duets are simple but gorgeous! Singers and musicians are all thrilled.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Truly Delightful ArrangementsBy Sandra DaviesThis is a truly delightful book. The arrangements for 2 voices. putting together favorite Christmas clasics is really wonderful. I am a singing teacher. so when Christmas comes around. trying to find new arrangements is always a challenge.I would definitely recommend this book. The vocal lines are not too difficult for beginners and would still challenge those with a little more experience.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great arrangements combining some interesting songsBy Chocolate EducationGreat arrangements combining some interesting songs. My only complaint is that in most of the songs the two voices are singing the same line for half of the song. and I prefer them to each have different parts. but other than that its great!
