Blending immersive travel writing with deep cultural inquiry, Is a River Alive? traces three powerful stories of rivers at the heart of legal and planetary transformation. In addition to the book club discussion, join us for an exclusive author session with Robert Macfarlane, one of the most celebrated nature writers of our time, as he shares personal insights into the making of the book, the rivers and people who shaped it, and what it means to write at the confluence of ecology, culture, and imagination.
