Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Como las aguas moldean el mundo, influyen en nuestro pensamiento y forjan nuestro futuro.Una obra maestra. The EconomistTransforma nuestra manera de percibir el mundo natural. The ObserverHermoso, salvaje y provocador hasta el extremo. New ScientistEn el corazon de este libro late una idea u…nica y transformadora: los rios no son mera materia al servicio del ser humano, sino seres vivos que merecen ser reconocidos como tales, en nuestra imaginacion y tambien ante la ley. Guiado por activistas, artistas y legisladores del movimiento por los Derechos de la Naturaleza, Robert Macfarlane nos guia, en un viaje global y profundo, por lugares donde esta verdad olvidada vuelve a emerger.El relato fluye como el agua a lo largo de tres grandes travesias: desde el bosque nuboso de Los Cedros, en el norte de Ecuador, donde un rio atraviesa un ecosistema amenazado por la mineria del oro; pasando por los rios invisibles que discurren bajo la ciudad de Madras, al sur de la India; hasta el nordeste de Quebec, donde el indomito rio Magpie resiste los embates de los proyectos hidroelectricos. Entretejiendo estos viajes aparece tambien la historia intima de un pequeno arroyo que fluye cerca de la casa del autor y su familia, cuyas vidas han transcurrido, casi sin saberlo, al ritmo de sus aguas.Estan vivos los rios? es el libro mas personal y politico de Macfarlane: una obra luminosa que invita a reimaginar no solo los rios, sino tambien la vida misma, y a reconocer que nuestro destino siempre ha fluido junto al suyo.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONA New York Times BestsellerA #1 Sunday Times (UK) BestsellerFinalist for the 2025 Banff Mountain Book Competition in Environmental LiteratureLonglisted for the 2026 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in NonfictionNamed a Best Book of 2025 by The New Yorker, Economist, Guardian, Minneapolis Star-Tribune, Kirkus Reviews, and Publishers Weekly One of TIME's 100 Must-Read Books of 2025 One of NPR's "Books We Love" for 2025 One of Smithsonian Magazine's Ten Best Science Books of 2025 A Chicago Public Library Top 10 Favorite Book of 2025 A Washington Post Notable Work of Nonfiction for 2025From the bestselling author of Underland and "the great nature writerof this generation" (Wall Street Journal), a revelatory book that transforms how we imagine riversand life itself.A brilliant, perspective-shifting new book, which answers a resounding "yes" to the question of its title, from the celebrated writer, observer, and naturalist Robert Macfarlane.At the heart of Is a River Alive? 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. Macfarlane takes the reader on a mind-expanding global journey into the history, futures, people and places of the ancient, urgent concept.Around the world, rivers are dying from pollution, drought and damming. But a powerful movement is also underway to recognize the lives and the rights of rivers, and to re-animate our relationships with these vast, mysterious presences whose landscapes we share. The young "rights of nature" movement has lit up activists, artists, law-makers and politicians across six continents--and become the focus for revolutionary thinking about rivers in particular.The book flows like water, from the mountains to the sea, over three major journeys.
