Further reading
Nick Middleton is a geographer, writer, and presenter of television
documentaries. He teaches at Oxford University where he is a Fellow
of St Anne's College. He has written more than 200 articles and 20
books for a variety of audiences, most on geographical, travel, or
environmental themes, including Deserts: A Very Short Introduction
(2009). His experience of rivers is wide-ranging. He has floated
down the Mekong and water skied on the Congo, bird-watched
in the Danube delta and driven the length of the lower Mississippi.
His daily relationship with the Thames is close and personal.
This small paperback is a succinct and yet impressively broad and
engaging introduction to the subject ... Middleton covers an
astonishing amount of ground in five chapters.
