Sam Leith's guest on this week’s Book Club podcast is Robert Macfarlane. In his new book&nbsp;<em>Is A River Alive?</em>&nbsp;he travels from the cloud forests of Ecuador to the pollution-choked rivers of Chennai and the threatened waterways of eastern Canada. He tells Sam what he learned along the journey – and why we need to reconceptualise our relationship with the natural world. <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
