Summary

Memory flows like a river, and it is through its constant flow that we come into being.


Twelve of our most exciting contemporary writers consider the subject of rivers and how they shape us throughout our lives, demarcating cities as well as moulding our creative consciousness.

Tessa Hadley revisits Rumer Godden's The River; Jo Hamya pays homage to Virginia Woolf; Michael Malay goes nightfishing for eels along the River Severn; Marchelle Farrell revisits the tropical waterfalls of her childhood home in Trinidad; and Caleb Azumah Nelson is drawn to the Guadalquivir in Seville.

Tender and astute, By the River explores the cultural, social and psychological significance of the rivers that run through our societies and our minds, bringing together writers in a celebration of water and its transformative qualities.

These sightings cover the following locations:UFOs flying around the International Space StationBases and UFOs on the MoonStrange sightings on Mars taken by our Martian rovers.In deep space elsewhere in the Solar SystemThese pictures may or may not be real alien life or UFO technologies, but they are fascinating none the less.Some of the sightings like the face in Cydonia are just a result of our natural abilities to see living forms in many types of pictures. But some may turn out to be real phenomena.Certainly, some of these sightings can’t be anything other than real UFOs.If you want to learn about strange sightings in the Solar System outside of Earth, then this book is for you.
