The 9 volumes series 'A History of Water'
The 9 volumes of 'A History of Water' gives a long-term historical and comparative perspective to the understanding of the complex relationship between water and society. The volumes in the series aim to show how analyses of history and societies' development - from the birth of civilization to the present day - will be enriched and broadened by also bringing the myriad confluences between water and society into the picture.

The series was initiated by Professor Terje Tvedt and it has over the years led to three series with three volumes in each series. The first series was published in 2006, the second in 2010/2011, and the last in 2014-2016. The series is introduced by Tvedt and his co-editors and contain chapters written by about 255 scholars from a very wide range of disciplines and from almost 100 countries. http://waterhistory.b.uib.no/2010/11/08/about/
