Field Notes Brand Is a River Alive?

Hello Friends,

Our 67th Quarterly Edition for the Summer of 2025 coincides with the American publication of Is a River Alive?, the brilliant and important new book by author Robert Macfarlane. Recounting three epic journeys, Macfarlane surveys the state of Earth’s rivers and the people who are fighting for them. It’s an impossibly large story that is interwoven with a fourth river tale which reveals an extremely personal one. 

The highly textured and colorful covers of our Memo Books are on Sappi McCoy 100#C Silk stock, lending a highly tactile element to the stunning visuals created by legendary visual artist Stanley Donwood.

Purchase a Summer 3-pack, and we’ll include a link in your tracking email to download a set of mobile phone wallpapers. These feature the amazing art from the “Fisk Maps,” which depict the ancient courses of the Mississippi River.

Start a year-long subscription with this Summer Edition and you’ll receive two “Is a River Alive?” 3-Packs, plus a subscriber-exclusive 12"×16" “Fisk Map” Poster and access to the phone wallpapers. 

Remember, subscribers receive free USA shipping on their quarterly shipments, and save 10% off when shopping at our site.

MOVIE NIGHT: On Monday, June 23rd at 7pm, join us for the first, and likely only, Field Notes Film Festival, at Chicago’s incomparable Music Box Theatre. Details here.

Cheers, The Field Notes Crew
