If you’ve ever marvelled as you dip your hands into the cool waters of a river or stream, this is definitely a book for you.-John Yeld, Environmental Writer, South AfricaPart loving homage to her colleague and mentor, and part memoir, The River is a Book uplifts, motivates and ultimately empowers anyone who loves a river to speak with it, animated by the knowledge that even the most complex science moves by way of respect for the unfathomable web of life humans are only a tiny part of.- Madeline Kiser and Oscar Beita, members of the Living Rivers Movement, Costa Rica---Every river tells a story - of stone and rain, of fish and people, of time moving in a bright, flexible line. Here water is never abstract: it shapeslives, ecosystems, livelihoods and futures. From the wild rivers of Africa and Asia to the boardrooms where their futures are decided, Cate Brown’s journey winds through science, adventure, development and conservation. Woven throughout is a remarkable partnership with Jackie King - mentor, colleague, collaborator and friend - and a shared endeavour to change the way people understand and manage rivers. A memoir of rivers, friendship and purpose, The River is a Book traces a life devoted to rivers and to seeking ways for people and rivers to thrive together.
