Summary:
Los Angeles rose to significance in the first half of the twentieth century by way of its complex relationship to three rivers: the Los Angeles, the Owens, and the Colorado. The remarkable urban and suburban trajectory of southern California since then cannot be fully understood without reference to the ways in which each of these three river systems came to be connected to the future of the metropolitan region. This history of growth must be understood in full consideration of all three rivers and the challenges and opportunities they presented to those who would come to make Los Angeles a global power. Full of primary sources and original documents, ''Water and Los Angeles'' will be of interest to both students of Los Angeles and general readers interested in the origins of the city.

(available to order)
Summary:
Drawing on the United Nations' assertion that "the climate crisis is mainly a water crisis," this thought-provoking book compiles over 100 key terms defined by contemporary thinkers in science, philosophy, politics, activism and architecture. These terms—such as Water Rights, Hydrocatharsis, Decommodification of Water and Liquid Modernity—form a vital lexicon to guide transformative action and foster a more symbiotic relationship with water. Structured as a collaborative exploration, the book combines scientific insight, philosophical depth and architectural vision to redefine how we engage with water socially, politically and ecologically. Illustrated with cartographic case studies, the volume offers vivid and hopeful scenarios for reshaping human–water interdependence. Through its diverse contributors and an interdisciplinary approach, "100 Words for Water" challenges readers to rethink water management and design as the foundation of a resilient, multispecies future.
