Hailed in the New York Times as "a naturalist who can unfurl a sentence with the breathless ease of a master angler " Robert Macfarlane brings his glittering style to a profound work of travel writing reportage and natural history. Is a River Alive? is a joyful mind-expanding exploration of an ancient urgent idea: that rivers are living beings who should be recognized as such in imagination and law. Macfarlane takes readers on three unforgettable journeys teeming with extraordinary people stories and places: to the miraculous cloud-forests and mountain streams of Ecuador to the wounded creeks and lagoons of India and to the spectacular wild rivers of Canada-imperiled respectively by mining pollution and dams. Braiding these journeys is the life story of the fragile chalk stream a mile from Macfarlane's house a stream who flows through his own years and days. Powered by dazzling prose and lit throughout by other minds and voices Is a River Alive? will open hearts challenge perspectives and remind us that our fate flows with that of rivers-and always has.
