About Is a River Alive?
The renowned nature writer and author of the best-selling 
Underland
 delivers a revelatory book that transforms how we look at the natural world—and life itself.
Hailed as “a naturalist who can unfurl a sentence with the breathless ease of a master angler” (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 Alive?
 is a joyous exploration into an ancient, urgent idea: that rivers are living beings who should be recognized as such in imagination and law. Macfarlane takes readers on three unforgettable journeys teeming with extraordinary people and places: to the miraculous cloud-forests and mountain streams of Ecuador, to the wounded creeks and lagoons of India, and to the spectacular wild rivers of Canada—imperiled by mining, pollution, and dams. Braiding these journeys is the life story of the fragile chalk stream a mile from Macfarlane’s house, which flows through his own years and days. Powered by Macfarlane’s dazzling prose and lit throughout by other voices, 
Is a River Alive? 
will open hearts, challenge perspectives, and remind us that our fate flows with that of rivers—and always has.
"This book is itself a river of poetic prose, an invitation to get onboard and float through the rapids of encounters with places and people, the eddies of ideas, to navigate the resurgence of Indigenous worldviews through three extraordinary journeys recounted with a vividness that lifts readers out of themselves and into these waterscapes. Read it for pleasure, read it for illumination, read it for confirmation that our world is changing in wonderful as well as terrible ways." --
