 not need a Howe Library card to check out book group books -- they are 
 available to all residents of the Upper Valley. Copies are available at the

 by Robert Macfarlane.\n\nNamed a Best Book of 2025 by The New Yorker\, 
 Economist\, Guardian\, Minneapolis Star-Tribune\, Kirkus Reviews\, and 
 Publishers Weekly  One of TIME's 100 Must-Read Books of 2025  One of NPR's 
 "Books We Love" for 2025  One of Smithsonian Magazine's Ten Best Science 
 Books of 2025  A Chicago Public Library Top 10 Favorite Book of 2025  A 
 Washington Post Notable Work of Nonfiction for 2025\n\n"From the 
 best-selling author of Underland and 'the great nature writer…of this 
 generation' (Wall Street Journal)\, a revelatory book that transforms how 
 we imagine rivers―and life itself.\n\nHailed in the New York Times as 'a 
 naturalist who can unfurl a sentence with the breathless ease of a master 
 angler\,' 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."\n\n \n\nJoin Meeting:
