Is a River Alive? by Robert MacFarlane has flowed downstream, to the delta of the new books table.

Joe already thinks it will be one of his books of the year; beautifully written, it pulls no punches on how much damage we have done to our world, but it also instils hope and that equally precious commodity, the sense of wonder.

Signed Indie Bookshop editions available now.

Riding the iron horse to visit dad; travelling companions - Satie on my headphones, final few dozen pages of Robert MacFarlane's Is A River Alive? flowing past & around me like a highland stream that knows it will become a mighty firth, then the world ocean.

Beautiful, thoughtful work.

Day off, beer & book session, as spring light streams in the pub window to illuminate my reading.

Deeply engrossed in Robert MacFarlane's forthcoming Is A River Alive? , when he references Lem's iconic Solaris when discussing how to communicate with non-human life, and my geek soul is smiling, & totally understanding.

Robert always conjures a sense of wonder about the natural world, I've so been looking forward to this.
