Leyssandra reviewed Is a River Alive? by Robert Macfarlane
None
5 stars
In this beautiful and moving work, Robert Macfarlane explores the Rights of Nature Movement as it intersects with rivers. He talks with local people and explores landscapes to see just how deep a river's roots run. How do we define "aliveness"? What rights do rivers have? And who should represent those rights in the courts of people? None of these are straightforward questions but important ones to tangle through before our world's rivers are killed.
