{"product_id":"macfarlane-robert-is-a-river-alive","title":"Is a River Alive?","description":"\u003cp\u003eSHORTLISTED FOR BLACKWELL'S BOOK OF THE YEAR 2025 \n SHORTLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR CONSERVATION WRITING 2025\nSHORTLISTED FOR THE EDWARD STANFORD TRAVEL BOOK OF THE YEAR 2026\nSHORTLISTED FOR THE SHERBORNE PRIZE FOR TRAVEL WRITING 2026 \n\n From celebrated writer Robert Macfarlane comes this brilliant, perspective-shifting new book - which answers a resounding yes to the question of its title. \n\nAt its heart is a single, transformative idea: that rivers are not mere matter for human use, but living beings - who should be recognized as such in both imagination and law. Is a River Alive? takes the reader on an exhilarating exploration of the past, present and futures of this ancient, urgent concept.\n\nThe book flows first to northern Ecuador , where a miraculous cloud-forest and its rivers are threatened by goldmining.\n\nThen, to the wounded rivers, creeks and lagoons of southern India , where a desperate battle to save the lives of these waterbodies is under way.\n\nAnd finally, to north-eastern Quebec , where a spectacular wild river - the Mutehekau or Magpie - is being defended from death by damming in a river-rights campaign.\n\n At once Macfarlane's most personal and most political book to date, Is a River Alive? will open hearts, spark debates and lead us to the revelation that our fate flows with that of rivers - and always has.\n\n2025 BOOK OF THE YEAR ACCORDING TO SPECTATOR, I PAPER, ECONOMIST, ESQUIRE, TIME\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eEAN:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e9780241624814\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eFarbverschnitt:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eGenerell werden die Bücher ohne Farbverschnitt geliefert, auch wenn die Abbildungen einen Farbverschnitt zeigen.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eErscheinungsjahr:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e01.05.2025\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eAutoren:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eMacfarlane, Robert\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eSeitenzahl\/Blattzahl:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e384\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eThemenüberschrift:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eNATURE \/ Environmental Conservation \u0026amp; Protection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eKeyword:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003enature books; nature writing; climate change; non-fiction books; intelligent books; environmental books; environment; climate crisis; climate change books; nonfiction; entangled life; the wild places; h is for hawk; helen macdonald; peter wohlleben; amy liptrot; nan shepherd; cal flyn; jackie morris; natural world; underland; the lost words; the lost spells; the lost ways\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eFachschema:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eUmwelt\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eFachkategorie:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eÖkologie, Biosphäre~Flüsse \u0026amp; Seen~Humangeographie~Umweltschützer: Denkansätze und Ideologien~Umweltschutz, Nachhaltigkeit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eImprint-Titels:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eHamish Hamilton\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eLänge:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e240 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eBreite:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e156 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eHöhe:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e28 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eGewicht:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e500 gr\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eProduktform:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eGebunden\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eGenre:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eImporte\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Macfarlane, Robert","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54429059252550,"sku":"9496678","price":26.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0852\/3081\/3510\/files\/B00000008883890.jpg?v=1745877807","url":"https:\/\/www.averdo.com\/en\/products\/macfarlane-robert-is-a-river-alive","provider":"Averdo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
