Rivers have acted as cradles for civilization and agents of disaster; a river
may be a barrier or a highway, it can support trade and sediment, culture and
conflict. This Very Short Introduction is a celebration of rivers in all their
diversity. Geographer Nick Middleton covers a wide and eclectic range of
river-based themes, from physical geography to mythology, to industrial history
and literary criticism. Offering a truly global look at rivers, with examples
from all continents, including Egypt, India, and Bangladesh, Middleton considers
the role that rivers have played in human history from settlements and trade to
warfare, and also looks at the human impact upon rivers by the construction of
dams and cutting of channels.
