This breathtaking journey along the most important rivers in the world takes us from the Nile to the Amazon, the Mekong Delta to the Mississippi, 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.

Industry Reviews
"History, science, and geography meet the beauty and creativity of old-world cartography in this stunning visual display of the rivers that flow over mountains and valleys, across deserts, on all seven continents, and into the world's oceans." -- Starred Review, Foreword Reviews

"A broad, shallow, teeming torrent of facts and marvels: Readers tempted to take a dip will be swept irresistibly along."

-- Kirkus Reviews

"The presentation is appropriately fluid, focusing less on individual locations or relative distances and more on the interconnectivity of the world's bodies of water."

-- Publishers Weekly

"Wonderful for locational knowledge and with all sorts of information, there's something for any curious mind."

-- Just Imagine, UK
