Description

Is a River Alive? by Robert Macfarlane is a thought-provoking exploration of the idea that rivers are living entities deserving recognition in imagination and law. This 374-page hardcover blends travel writing, natural history, and environmental reportage across journeys to Ecuador, India, and Canada.

Macfarlane examines rivers threatened by mining, pollution, dams, and climate change while weaving in the story of a fragile chalk stream near his home. The book considers freshwater ecosystems, legal rights of nature, and the cultural meaning of rivers across continents.

Named a Best Book of 2025 by multiple major publications, Is a River Alive? explores humanity’s relationship with flowing water and challenges readers to reconsider the legal and ecological status of rivers in a changing world. Hardcover and 374 pages.
