Is A River Alive?

Más información sobre el libro

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.
