This illuminating and richly illustrated book explores how the Mersey changed the wolrd through a series of specially commissioned essays from writers, journalist, and experts in fields as diverse as archaeology, history, music, wildlife, and architecture.
It explores the Mersey's connections with the rise of rock music, and explains why the estuary is now a nature conservation resource of international importance. It introduces the politics and people who have led more than two decades of a great river clean up campaign which is still underway. And it looks ahead to a fast reviving river, with new opportunities for maritime trade, regeneration and ecological rebirth, alongside a built heritage of national and world importance.
