It is a living being. In this urgent, perspective-shifting book, Robert Macfarlane sets out to answer the question of its title — and his answer is a resounding yes. Travelling to three frontlines of the river-rights movement, he takes us first into the cloud forests of northern Ecuador, where ancient waterways are threatened by industrial goldmining; then to the rivers and lagoons of southern India, where communities are fighting to have their waterbodies recognised as legal persons before the law; and finally to the wild Mutehekau river in north-eastern Quebec, where a campaign to save it from damming is redefining what it means to defend the natural world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(5, 5, 5);\"\u003eAt once Macfarlane's most personal and most political book, \u003cem\u003eIs a River Alive?\u003c\/em\u003e moves between deep ecological history and the present crisis, between science, law, and wonder. It asks what we lose when we treat rivers as infrastructure — and what we might gain if we learned to see them as kin.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lorien Books","offers":[{"title":"1","offer_id":54386199757139,"sku":null,"price":20.07,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1079\/6695\/5859\/files\/9780241998212.jpg?v=1784816271","url":"https:\/\/lorienbooks.com\/products\/is-a-river-alive","provider":"Lorien Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
