Synopsis

Water Rights explores the complex history of water disputes across the Americas, highlighting the tension between human needs, economic development, and ecological preservation. These disputes often pit different users against each other in a zero-sum game, revealing inequalities and vulnerabilities. The book examines how these conflicts disproportionately affect marginalized communities, raising critical issues of environmental justice. Understanding these disputes requires grasping hydrological cycles, legal principles, and the impacts of climate change, all of which exacerbate water scarcity.

 
The book unfolds in three parts: an introduction to key terms and water law, case studies of water disputes from regions like the Colorado River Basin and the Atacama Desert, and a synthesis of lessons learned with policy recommendations.

 
By integrating historical analysis, legal scholarship, and environmental justice principles, Water Rights provides a nuanced perspective, demonstrating how legal frameworks are shaped by political interests and environmental impacts vary across social groups. It avoids simplistic solutions, emphasizing the multifaceted nature of water allocation and its importance for sustainability.

We’ll hear stories from scientists, anthropologists, professors, doctors, mothers, fathers, and storytellers. We answer questions like what organ is a baby's best friend and the mother's worst nightmare, what is the evolutionary reason for our butts, and how does your brain know that you, are you?

    The Plague Years - A Doctor’s...

    In 1992, Dr. Ross A. Slotten signed more death certificates in Chicago—and, by inference, the state of Illinois—than anyone else. As a family physician, he was trained to care for patients from birth to death, but when he completed his residency in 1984, he had no idea that many of his future patients would be cut down in the prime of their lives. Among those patients were friends, colleagues, and lovers, shunned by most of the medical community because they were gay and HIV positive. Slotten wasn’t an infectious disease specialist, but because of his unique position as both a gay man and a young physician, he became an unlikely pioneer, swept up in one of the worst epidemics in modern history. 
     
    Plague Years is an unprecedented first-person account of that epidemic, spanning not just the city of Chicago but four continents as well. Slotten provides an intimate yet comprehensive view of the disease’s spread alongside heartfelt portraits of his patients and his own conflicted feelings as a medical professional, drawn from more than thirty years of personal notebooks. In telling the story of someone who was as much a potential patient as a doctor, Plague Years sheds light on the darkest hours in the history of the LGBT community in ways that no previous medical memoir has.
