It delves into the development of water infrastructure from ancient civilizations to the present day, highlighting the societal values and engineering breakthroughs that shaped these systems. For instance, the book showcases how ancient societies like Mesopotamia and Rome engineered complex aqueducts and drainage systems, demonstrating early ingenuity in water management.

It concludes by examining contemporary issues like water scarcity and climate change. By using archaeological discoveries, historical accounts and demographic data, the book emphasizes the social, political, and environmental intersections vital for understanding today's water management challenges.

  • Churches and the Crisis of Decline - A Hopeful Practical Ecclesiology for a Secular Age - cover

    Churches and the Crisis of...

    Congregations often seek to combat the crisis of decline by using innovation to produce new resources. But leading practical theologian Andrew Root shows that the church's crisis is not in the loss of resources; it's in the loss of life—and that life can only return when we remain open to God's encountering presence. 
     
     
     
    This new book, related to Root's critically acclaimed Ministry in a Secular Age project, addresses the practical form the church must take in a secular age. Root uses two stories to frame the book: one about a church whose building becomes a pub and the other about Karl Barth. Root argues that Barth should be understood as a pastor with a deep practical theology that can help church leaders today. 
     
     
     
    This book pushes the church to be a waiting community that recognizes that the only way for it to find life is to stop seeing the church as the star of its own story. Instead of resisting decline, congregations must remain open to divine action. Root offers a rich vision for the church's future that moves away from an obsession with relevance and resources and toward the living God.
