Produktbeschreibung
In Parched Nation, researchers A.R. Usmani and M.A. Basit begin with the simple question: Who is to blame for pushing a country of 250 million people to the brink of a water crisis? Their investigation uncovers how corruption, weak institutions, and short-term policies all entwin to turn a land of plenty into one of scarcity. Through firsthand accounts, expert analysis, and historical evidence, the book highlights how political, economic, and environmental mismanagement created this disaster - in a country that has enough water to meet its needs many times over. The authors portray Pakistan not as a hapless victim of climate change but as a country where those at the top exercise real agency. A pattern of deliberate and systematic failures has led to what could have been a preventable crisis. Beyond the numbers and policies, Parched Nation also zooms in on the human element, sharing stories of the people who suffer the most from these failures. Parched Nation isn't just a record of what's gone wrong. It's an urgent call to action for governments, activists, and citizens everywhere. It's not just Pakistan's problem - when a nuclear-armed state faces ecological collapse, the risks are global. We have partnered with The Helping Humans Charity. We will donate 25% of every book purchase to build wells in drought-hit areas of Pakistan.
