The article is a book review of "Down by the Water: Interdisciplinary Studies in Human-Environment Interactions in Watery Spaces" edited by Veronica Walker Vadillo, Emilia Mataix Ferrándiz, and Elisabeth Holmqvist. The book explores the concept of the maritime cultural landscape and expands it to include all watery environments, such as rivers, estuaries, and lakes. It examines the relationship between humans and water throughout history and offers diverse perspectives and approaches from various regions and time periods. While the collection lacks cohesion and accessibility, it provides valuable insights for researchers interested in studying human activity in watery spaces. [Extracted from the article] |
