Giulio Boccaletti, author of the magisterial history: Water: A Biography, comes to us from London. He shows how the political control of water has shaped civilizations, and how only political will can head off a civilization-ending crisis of population explosion and climate change that will cause mass migration and catastrophic violence.
Boccaletti will be joined in conversation by:
- Kamanamaikalani Beamer, Dana Naone Hall Chair in Hawaiian Studies, Literature, and the Environment
- Ernie Lau, Chief Engineer of the Honolulu Board of Water Supply
- Kapua‘ala Sproat, Director, Ka Huli Ao Center for Excellence in Native Hawaiian Law
Produced for the Hawai‘i Book & Music Festival by the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Better Tomorrow Speaker Series.
