Published to coincide with a major six-part series on BBC1, Griff Rhys Jones explores the rivers of Britain.
In his idiosyncratic style, Griff Rhys Jones takes us on a tour of Britain's most beautiful and extraordinary rivers. Once powerful and influential, now often neglected, our rivers are secret routes to the nature, history and soul of the landscape.Griff battles up the gorges and waterfalls of wild Scottish mountain streams, and explores the legends surrounding so many of our rivers. He examines the river as a source of inspiration for painting and literature, and uncovers the role that rivers such as the Thames and the Mersey played in the history of our great cities. With the growing threat of global warming, rivers are more important than ever. Griff uncovers the future of our rivers, as the danger of flooding increases, and as sources of renewable energy.Both an inspiring practical guide, and a fascinating and often surprising history of the nation's waterways. Abridged
