{"product_id":"flood-planning-jeroen-warner-9781845118174","title":"Flood Planning: The Politics of Water Security","description":"Floods are amongst the most common and devastating natural disasters. In the wake of such an event, the pressure to initiate flood protection schemes that will provide security is enormous, and politicians promise quick solutions in the national interest. Jeroen Warner examines a number of such projects from around the world - the Middle East, South Asia and Western Europe - aimed at the prevention of serious flooding. Each provoked a level of controversy unforeseen by its initiators, with the result that schemes were shelved, were not completed, or simply failed. The author shows how such projects inevitably become politicized as different stakeholders seek to promote their interests.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeroen Warner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1845118170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781845118174\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/22\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.30w x 1.50d","brand":"Jeroen Warner","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136914469119,"sku":"9781845118174","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_72452bf2-041b-4ce9-9177-c2c849e349b6.jpg?v=1770165297","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/flood-planning-jeroen-warner-9781845118174","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
