Enjoyed & learned a lot listening to #RobertMacfarlane @favlit.org this afternoon. Thoughtfulness, scientific endeavour & compassion shone through the interview. I think there is hope for rivers & the world.

Stingless bees from the Amazon granted legal rights in world first Planet’s oldest bee species and primary pollinators were under threat from deforestation and competition from ‘killer bees’

Something to celebrate as the NY approaches! This development reminds me of the #RightsOfNature movement Robert MacFarlane chronicles in #IsARiverAlive? Amazing how when we start w/thoughts of the possible, possibility pursues us like a long lost friend.

🎶 Robert Macfarlane (@robgmacfarlane.bsky.social), Cambridge professor and writer, reflects on how writing for music shaped his craft. Music taught him about rhythm, tempo, rhyme, and the power of letting meaning be elliptical rather than over-explained.

Two very different books: one fiction, one non-fiction; one firmly rooted in a single, closely defined location, the other celebrating different cultures across the globe.

And yet the common themes and shared passions are striking. I can’t recommend them highly enough. 📚

As a Liz Hyder fan, these words about #THIRST bring me big joy. 🤓 (And as uncanny as it is, I swear the #IsARiverAlive malarkey is purely coincidental. 😂) #THIRST is now available for early reads at www.netgalley.co.uk/catalog/book...

I would like to compare Robert Macfarlane's prose to a Magic Carpet that carries you along the big rivers, revealing the wonders and the sorrows of these beings that ultimately touch us all. 💚💙💚

Robert Macfarlane’s new book asks a question he couldn’t ignore: Is a river alive? The author and naturalist visited three rivers (including one in Canada) to explore what it means to give the waterways the same rights as people

Really enjoyed this article by Emily Donaldson in the @theglobeandmail.com and I can’t wait to read #IsARiverAlive by @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social . I use his #TheLostWords in #ZOO2700

Is a River Alive? by Robert Mcfarlane: A beautiful overture for our dying rivers There’s been a lot of noise about the state of our rivers these past few years, and quite right too. An Environment Agency report in 2020 revealed that not a single river, lake or stream in England wa...

My review in The Evening Standard of #IsARiverAlive, the latest beautiful book from @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social

"Macfarlane has yet again demonstrated his genius as an author in creating a book that is alive, that has personality, that talked to me".

It’s going to take a while for the scope of this book to percolate. The language is rich, boundary breaking. Its ideas plunge us into necessarily fantastic possibilities; we must be brave & creative in our thinking. I am grateful. Magnificent @RobGMacfarlane #isariveralive
