Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Condizione sovraccoperta: As New. 1st Edition. A remarkable combination of memoir, science, exploration, and geopolitics, Water and Peace chronicles the career of French geophysicist Dr. Alain Gachet, whose pioneering remote-sensing technology has been used to locate deep groundwater beneath some of the world's most arid and conflict-ridden regions. Moving from oil exploration in Gabon and Kazakhstan to humanitarian missions in Darfur, Kenya, Iraq, Kurdistan, Libya, and beyond, Gachet recounts how satellite imaging and geophysical analysis have transformed access to potable water for millions of people. Richly illustrated with field photography, WATEX imagery, Landsat comparisons, and expedition photographs, the volume reads as both an adventure narrative and an important contribution to environmental diplomacy and humanitarian science. This copy is a true First Edition, First Printing published in Great Britain by Arcadia Books in 2023, with the complete number line ending in "1." The book and dust jacket are both in As New condition. The blue cloth boards remain perfectly clean and square with sharp corners, bright gilt spine lettering, and an exceptionally tight, unread-feeling binding. The pages are crisp, clean, and unmarked throughout. The unclipped dust jacket retains the original £25.00 price on the rear flap and shows no discernible shelf wear, tears, rubbing, creasing, fading, or edge wear. An excellent collector's copy suitable for gift-giving or a modern first-edition collection. One of the most striking features of this first edition is its restrained but highly symbolic jacket design by Steve Leard, featuring a blue water droplet enclosing the international peace symbol. Rather than relying on photographic imagery, the cover distills the book's central argument - that access to groundwater can become an instrument of peace - into a memorable visual identity. Inside, the extensive use of WATEX satellite imagery, expedition photography, and documentary illustrations distinguishes the volume from a conventional memoir, making it an appealing crossover collectible for readers interested in exploration, environmental history, hydrogeology, and modern humanitarian science. Dr. Alain Gachet (b. 1951) is a French nuclear physicist, mining engineer, petroleum geologist, and geophysicist best known as the founder of RTI Exploration and developer of WATEX technology for detecting deep groundwater using satellite data and advanced geophysical algorithms. A recipient of France's Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur and a 2016 inductee into the Space Technology Hall of Fame, Gachet has helped locate major groundwater reserves across Africa and the Middle East, bringing reliable drinking water to communities affected by drought, conflict, and humanitarian crises. His work has been recognized internationally for demonstrating how space technology can address one of humanity's most pressing environmental challenges.
