'A charming and pleasant trip downriver that should remind anyone, wherever they are, that rivers are vital ecosystems that we ignore at our peril.' – The Eden Project
This richly illustrated concertina book takes the reader from the top of a mountain spring, through varying landscapes, and follows a river's journey from its source to the sea. With a focus on the important role waterways play in human and environmental survival, The River That Flows Beside Me explores the changing landscapes along a river's journey and the habits and ecosystems that call the river their home.
