Is A River Alive?

Viac o knihe

Exploring the transformative idea that rivers are living beings deserving recognition, the book delves into the 'Rights of Nature' movement. Macfarlane embarks on three significant journeys: to Ecuador's threatened cloud-forest rivers, India's struggling waterways, and the defense of Quebec's Mutehekau river. Interwoven with personal reflections on a local chalk stream, this work blends the personal with the political, urging readers to rethink their relationship with nature. It challenges perspectives and emphasizes our interconnected fate with rivers.
