Description: Winding nearly three thousand miles through six nations, the Mekong is both a lifeline and a living archive. This sweeping exploration traces the river from its geological origins to the rice paddies, fisheries, and floating communities that depend on its rhythms, examining how monsoon cycles, trade routes, and shifting borders have shaped one of Asia's most consequential waterways. Blending natural history, economics, and cultural observation, it offers a richly layered portrait of a river in flux—and asks what its future may hold for the millions who call its banks home.
