Is a River Alive?

Robert Macfarlane

Tim serendipitously stumbled upon this in a bookstore while recording interviews for Living with Birrarung in 2025. Macfarlane takes readers on his philosophical and literal journey of trying to understand living rivers in South America, India, Canada and his home in the United Kingdom. A good read for those looking for something more prose and less academic!

Underflows: Queer Trans Ecologies and River Justice

Cleo Wolfle Hazard

This book was recommended to us by Dr Erin O'Donnell and is a another great example of the intersections between ecological justice and other social, cultural, and political movements for justice. Hazard challenges assumptions about objectivity in science, and leverages social theory to help us better understand relationships with the natural world.
