October 5, 2025(1 event) 11:00 am: New Lebanon Book Group - "Is a River Alive," by Robert MacFarlane. – Curious readers, visitors, and drop-ins are always welcome! We follow a no fragrance policy for the safety of some of our members. Robert Macfarlane brings his glittering style to a profound work of travel writing, reportage, and natural history. Is a River Alive? is a joyful, mind-expanding exploration of an ancient, urgent idea: that rivers are living beings who should be recognized as such in imagination and law. Macfarlane takes readers on three unforgettable journeys teeming with extraordinary people, stories, and places: to the miraculous cloud-forests and mountain streams of Ecuador, to the wounded creeks and lagoons of India, and to the spectacular wild rivers of Canada—imperiled respectively by mining, pollution, and dams. |
