DESCRIPTION:SEMINAR CANCELLED DUE TO UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES.\nIn many en
 vironmental histories\, rivers feature primarily as victims of human abuse
 . This paper shifts the perspective\, focusing on what rivers do to us rat
 her than what we do to them. Rivers illustrate the limits of human authori
 ty as well as our transformative abilities\, and their capacity to shape a
 nd inspire us is as strong as our ability to harness and pollute them. Env
 ironmental historian Peter Coates will examine the possibilities of a fluv
 io-centric version of liquid history. Rather than taking a view from the b
 ridge\, he considers the view from under the bridge.
