I need more recommendations for non-fiction on water, especially rivers. But not ones that focus on colonial history (positively) or the economy tied to rivers, ones more focused on ecology.

@idzie perhaps The Flow by Amy-Jane Beer https://www.ethicalbooksearch.com/books/m/is:9781472977373-is:9781038635006/the-flow-amy-jane-beer
@idzie Gathering Moss by Robin Wall Kimmerer is focused on mosses but they are so damp and rainforesty that there is quite a bit of water info as well.
I liked How To Read Water by Tristan Gooley, which has a section on rivers. He writes more from a nature signs perspective than ecology, like things to notice about rivers.
@beandreams thank you! :)
@idzie not exactly what you asked for but this is a thing I know exists.

@idzie (for river ecology) Iʼm eyeing is The Water Remembers: My Indigenous Family's Fight to Save a River and a Way of Life by Amy Bowers Cordalis and a book I loved: Stronghold: One Man’s Quest to Save the World’s Wild Salmon By Tucker Malarkey also Salmon in the Trees
Life in Alaska's Tongass Rain Forest
by Amy Gulick #Salmon #River #Ecology #Bookstodon
@ScoterD thank you!!
@idzie if you’re interested in books on individual rivers A Clear Flowing Yarra by Harry Saddler is great
@joannaholman thanks, I'll look it up!
@idzie What about "Is a River Alive?" by Robert McFarlane. Travelled the world talking to people who know about rivers.
@cybervegan already on my list if you scroll up haha
@idzie Fair enough. Have not read it myself, but my wife has recently, and talked about it a lot.
@idzie currently part way through Dispersals. It’s really good
@joannaholman that's good to hear!
