From the mystery of sources to confluences, from the movements of riverbeds to deltas and estuaries, the album follows the course of a river and explores its meanders and ramifications with its environment. Enriched by three interviews with members of the scientific committee, it questions the geopolitical and ecological issues of rivers with Erik Orsenna, examines the human history of the Rhône with Jean-Louis Michelot, and understands the essential role of a river in human societies through the example of the crocodile-men of the Sepik with Christian Coiffier. Numerous illustrations and the exceptional reproduction of an 18th - century work depicting the Yellow River offer an immersion in the flow of the rivers that crisscross the Earth.
