At its heart is a single, transformative idea: that rivers are not mere matter for human use, but living beings - who should be recognised as such in both imagination and law.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIs a River Alive? takes the reader on an exhilarating exploration of the past, present and futures of this ancient, urgent concept. The book flows first to northern Ecuador, where a miraculous cloud-forest and its rivers are threatened by goldmining. Then, to the wounded rivers, creeks and lagoons of southern India, where a desperate battle to save the lives of these waterbodies is under way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDelivery \u0026amp; pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Available from Whimsy and Wonder with New Zealand delivery or Christchurch pickup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43985146380324,"sku":"B9780241998212","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/2253\/5460\/files\/penguin-random-house-is-a-river-alive-book.jpg?v=1785744334","url":"https:\/\/whimsyandwonder.co.nz\/products\/is-a-river-alive-1","provider":"Whimsy \u0026 Wonder","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
