»I recommend this book as an enjoyable read for anybody interested in nature humanrelations, their historical evolution, and prospective futures, in peripheral areas globally and in Northern Europe specifically. It is exceptionally rich in describing the various river practices and their embeddedness in dwellers lifeworlds, and Krause is highly convincing in analysing those within his chosen conceptual framework.
