Description
The new kind of environmental book that is WHITE RIVER introduces a startling talent in the literature of the Earth. Still a young man Jamie Whittle has already quartered the globe, visiting wild places in the Pacific, Central and Southern America, Africa, the Yukon and Highland Scotland, living and working for a period with a family in Ladakh and sharing their lives.
Now active as an environmental lawyer he brings a wealth of experience and thought on his foot journey to the source of the River Findhorn and his canoe trip back to its estuary. WHITE RIVER is poetic, intelligent, deeply informed and every bit as deeply concerned. Like the other books in Sandstone’s new non-fiction list it has the power to change minds as well as to entertain them.
The book comes with a revealing foreword by Alastair McIntosh, author of ‘Soil and Soul’, and with drawings and woodcut illustrations by Jo Darling.
