After decades or even centuries of environmental decline and cultural neglect, waterfronts have been vamped up and become focal points of urban life again; hidden and covered streams have been daylighted while restoration projects have returned urban rivers in many places to a supposedly more natural state. This volume traces the complex and winding history of how cities have appropriated, lost, and regained their rivers. But rather than telling a linear story of progress, the chapters of this book highlight the ambivalence of these developments. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe four sections in \u003ci\u003eRivers Lost, Rivers Regained\u003c\/i\u003e discuss how cities have gained control and exerted power over rivers and waterways far upstream and downstream; how rivers and floodplains in cityscapes have been transformed by urbanization and industrialization; how urban rivers have been represented in cultural manifestations, such as novels and songs; and how more recent strategies work to redefine and recreate the place of the river within the urban setting. At the nexus between environmental, urban, and water histories, \u003ci\u003eRivers Lost, Rivers Regained\u003c\/i\u003e points out how the urban-river relationship can serve as a prime vantage point to analyze fundamental issues of modern environmental attitudes and practices.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMartin Knoll\u003c\/b\u003e is professor for the History of European Regions at the University of Salzburg, Austria.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eUwe Lübken\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of American history at Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Munich.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDieter Schott\u003c\/b\u003e is professor for Modern History at Darmstadt University of Technology, Germany.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 368\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5 x 9.1 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 23, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47521500889309,"sku":"9780822944591","price":104.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/4DQu9fFLuv9780822944591.webp?v=1772260145","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/rivers-lost-rivers-regained-rethinking-city-river-relations-hardcover","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
