Is a River Alive?

Poetic and urgent, this book asks what might change when we think of rivers as living things. In case studies of three rivers across the world, Robert Macfarlane explores the threats of mining, logging, industrial pollution, and dams, bringing the reader along in a confluence of storytelling and activism that just may transform the way we think. Hardcover, 384 pages, W.
