Description

Explore the cultural construction of river systems in The Invention of Rivers: Alexander's Eye and Ganga's Descent. In this work, Dilip da Cunha combines history, art, cultural studies, hydrology, and geography to examine how rivers are viewed as defined lines that shape human habitation and everyday life. Da Cunha argues that what we perceive as natural features of the earth are actually products of human design and specific ways of seeing. This perspective traces its roots back to ancient Greek cartography. Even though Alexander the Great never saw the Ganges, his conception of it as a body of water with specific sources, destinations, and banks illustrates how human perception shapes our understanding of the natural world. This book is part of the Penn Studies in Landscape Architecture series from the University of Pennsylvania Press.
