«'… an important contribution to new water theory, which is relevant for many geographic areas and time periods. … theoretically rich work …' Journal of Near Eastern Studies»

«'This book addresses the long-term environmental as well as economic history of the Yemen case study and contextualizes it within the wider discipline. Archaeohydrology as a discipline benefits from the approach taken in this book.' American Anthropologist»
«'… the author makes a compelling case for the relevance of his choice with regard to 'human geographies of water' … The reader interested in irrigation and water resource use in Yemen, especially for the pre-Islamic period, will not be disappointed by this work.'
