So I've written a book! Waterscapes is about how impactful our need for water is on the environment and people. It's also about the ways in which infrastructure projects can impact place for good or bad.

Good to see this article on ‘Waterworks, municipal government and the environment in twentieth-century Britain’ published open access in @urbanhistory.bsky.social by @mctom.bsky.social www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Good to see @mctom.bsky.social, congrats!!
