Summary: Journey along the most important rivers in the world from the Nile to the Amazon, the Mekong Delta to the Thames, the Murray to the Waikato. Our seas and rivers tell a compelling story about our planet. Through tracking the life source of people, animals and the land itself, Peter Goes brings alive our history and our lives today. Each illustration includes major events and historical figures connected with its river, but also favorite stories and icons. This absorbing, playful book shows who we are, how we live and the myths we weave around our people and places. Each map is full of fascinating facts about nature, culture and history, with major events and historical figures alongside favourite stories and icons.
