This month, join us at Lower Cascades Park (2851 Old State Road 37, Bloomington) to ruminate on the rights of rivers as we discuss Is a River Alive? by Robert Macfarlane.
Summary:
At its heart is a single, transformative idea: that rivers are not mere matter for human use, but living beings—who should be recognized as such in both imagination and law. Inspired by the activists, artists and lawmakers of the young "Rights of Nature" movement, Macfarlane takes the reader on an exhilarating exploration of the past, present and futures of this ancient, urgent concept.
