Gibbs, L. Maree. (2010). Book review: "Troubled waters: confronting the water crisis in Australia's cities" by Patrick Troy (Ed.). Urban Studies, 47(1) 222-224.

Abstract

Troubled Waters is a collection of essays edited by Patrick Troy, Emeritus Professor and Visiting Fellow at the Fenner School of Environment and Society, Australian National University. The papers are contributed by a multidisciplinary group of authors, from the fields of economics, history, geography, environmental and social policy and law. As a result, the book does not present a single theoretical or methodological approach and in this regard it is refreshing. The book is published by the ANU E Press; a publisher that makes academic output from the ANU freely available from its website, as well as for purchase through print on demand. Such initiatives in publishing and research dissemination can only be celebrated.
