“In Superhuman River, Bidisha Banerjee elegantly weaves science, history, policy and spirituality into her own personal journey along the Ganga. Equal parts travelogue, love letter, and manifesto, this important book ranges from tannery pollutants to climate change, from river dolphins to Hindu goddesses. We are lucky to have in Banerjee an inexhaustibly curious, quietly passionate guide to this singular river.” —Rebecca Tuhus-Dubrow, author of Personal Stereo
