书籍简介
国家图书奖入围作品：对美国中心地带含水层枯竭的深刻反思奥加拉含水层数千年来一直滋养着美国大平原上的生命。但是，不到一个世纪的不可持续的灌溉耕作已经使含水层的许多地方无法修复。奥加拉和世界各地的其他含水层即将枯竭，这是我们时代的一个决定性的地球危机。
《用尽：在高原上寻找水》对含水层的枯竭以及通过它获得意义和力量的更深层次提供了一个独特的个人描述。人类学家卢卡斯-贝西尔回到堪萨斯州西部，在那里他家五代人都是从事灌溉的农民和牧场主，试图对这种重要的资源及其损失做出解释。他在干燥的高地平原上寻找水，使读者面对工业化农业的严峻现实、侵蚀的民主规范和对迫在眉睫的灾难的超现实解释。
然而，这本书的目的地远非可预测的，因为这本书试图超越人们经常知道的破坏性的词语和流派。相反，这段进入铲除泥潭的旅程提供了一系列意想不到的发现，即继承过去麻烦的遗产意味着什么，以及我们如何能够为一个更加包容、可持续的未来承担责任。《用尽：在高原上寻找水》是一部关于环境变化的紧迫而令人不安的沉思录，是对家庭、共谋、损失以及找到回家之路意味着什么的启示性描述。
Finalist for the National Book AwardAn intimate reckoning with aquifer depletion in America's heartlandThe Ogallala aquifer has nourished life on the American Great Plains for millennia. But less than a century of unsustainable irrigation farming has taxed much of the aquifer beyond repair. The imminent depletion of the Ogallala and other aquifers around the world is a defining planetary crisis of our times.
Running Out offers a uniquely personal account of aquifer depletion and the deeper layers through which it gains meaning and force. Anthropologist Lucas Bessire journeyed back to western Kansas, where five generations of his family lived as irrigation farmers and ranchers, to try to make sense of this vital resource and its loss. His search for water across the drying High Plains brings the reader face to face with the stark realities of industrial agriculture, eroding democratic norms, and surreal interpretations of a looming disaster.
Yet the destination is far from predictable, as the book seeks to move beyond the words and genres through which destruction is often known. Instead, this journey into the morass of eradication offers a series of unexpected discoveries about what it means to inherit the troubled legacies of the past and how we can take responsibility for a more inclusive, sustainable future. An urgent and unsettling meditation on environmental change, Running Out is a revelatory account of family, complicity, loss, and what it means to find your way back home.
