Blurb:
Delta Worlds – Life between Land and Water 

River deltas are hotspots of global changes in climate, economy and population. But what does the everyday life of delta dwellers look like in this unstable terrain, in these volatile landscapes? Based on their research in four different deltas around the world, four anthropologists present portraits, short texts and photo essays to describe daily life in a world of flexible traditions, where water and land are continually changing.
