Hailed as &ldquo\;a naturalist who can unfurl a sentence with the breathless ease of a master angler&rdquo\; (Holly Morris\, \;New York Times)\, Robert Macfarlane brings his glittering style to a profound work of travel writing\, reporting\, and natural history. \;Is a River Aliv e? \;is a joyous exploration into an ancient\, urgent idea: that river s are living beings who should be recognized as such in imagination and la w. Macfarlane takes readers on three unforgettable journeys teeming with e xtraordinary people and places: to the miraculous cloud-forests and mounta in streams of Ecuador\, to the wounded creeks and lagoons of India\, and t o the spectacular wild rivers of Canada&mdash\;imperiled by mining\, pollu tion\, and dams. Braiding these journeys is the life story of the fragile chalk stream a mile from Macfarlane&rsquo\;s house\, which flows through h is own years and days. Powered by Macfarlane&rsquo\;s dazzling prose and l it throughout by other voices\, \;Is a River Alive? \;will open he arts\, challenge perspectives\, and remind us that our fate flows with tha t of rivers&mdash\;and always has.
