What is River about?

Discover how rivers begin, flow and change as they travel across the land. This illustrated guide explores youthful streams, twisting mature rivers and wide, slow-moving waterways. Learn how water erodes rock, carries mud and stones, forms waterfalls, gorges, flood plains, deltas and oxbow lakes, and creates islands and other striking landscapes. With examples from famous rivers around the world, the book explains the powerful forces that shape river valleys and shows why rivers are constantly changing.
