―本書「はじめに」より―
本書には、昭和62年(1987)に私が生まれて初めて行った、テムズ川の水上交通の歴史に関する講演から、平成30年(2018)3月にブラジリアで行った第8回世界水フォーラムにおける基調講演にいたるまでの、水上交通史や水災害を含む水問題についての講演の記録を収載しています。(中略)水問題は、あたかも水がどこにでも流れていくように、世界の紛争、貧困、環境、農業、エネルギー、教育、ジェンダーなどさまざまな分野に縦横無尽に関わってきます。(中略)水を通してこれらの問題に関心を持つことができたことは私にとりとても有意義であり、私の視野を大きく広げてくれた「水」に感謝しています。

It depends on your country and its customs regulations. Our service does not cover duties and import taxes — in general, if the customs office in your country applies charges to your package, you are required to pay them.
