Human Shields: A History of People in the Line of Fire

Abstract

Overall, this book offers an excellent opportunity for scholars in the humanities and social sciences, in addition to scientists and engineers, to pay more attention to water in new and innovative ways. It is an invaluable book and a rich resource for scholars who work on Palestine and who wish to engage in other ways of seeing and knowing water and the more-than-human world(s). As Boast rightfully highlighted, this is particularly critical in a climate emergency reality where “a climate-changed future” (25) necessitates that we make connections between justice and ongoing environmental legacies of colonialism.
