Is a River Alive?

"It is a brilliant, perspective-shifting exploration by Robert Macfarlane that questions whether rivers are living beings deserving recognition beyond human use, advocating for their protection through legal and imaginative means. Journeying from Ecuador to India and Quebec, the book highlights urgent environmental struggles and the profound connection between our fate and that of rivers. Combining personal narrative with political insight, it aims to inspire reflection and debate about our relationship with these vital waterways."
