Being essential to the survival of civilisations, rivers run
through mythology - think of ancient Egypt - and religion - think
of the Ganges and Hinduism. And they continue to inspire writers
and artists - think of Mark Twain's Mississippi and John
Steinbeck's Salinas. From the Ganges rising in the Himalayas to the
Nile Delta, from the Amazon rainforest to the Bow River flowing out
of the Rocky Mountains, from the Rhine to the Rhone, Yangtze to the
Mekong, Danube to the Volga to the Ebro, Rivers explores the
grandest and most interesting rivers around the world. Arranged by
continent, the book reveals the fascinating stories of how rivers
have supported and shaped civilisations, the significance that
rivers have gained in religion and myth, the battles that have been
fought over them, the borders that they have marked, and how rivers
have altered their courses, thus changing lives and livelihoods.
Illustrated with more than 200 spectacular colour photographs
supported by expert captions, Rivers is a fascinating journey from
the mountains to the sea.
