Meera Subramanian is a US-based journalist and Fulbright-Nehru senior research fellow who writes about culture, faith and the environment for newspapers and magazines around the world.
Her first book is A River Runs Again: India’s Natural World in Crisis, from the Barren Cliffs of Rajasthan to the Farmlands of Karnataka, published in August 2015 by PublicAffairs in the USA (and as Elemental India: The Natural World at a Time of Crisis and Opportunity by HarperCollins India).
"A River Runs Again is at once sweeping and intimate -- a smart, informative, richly reported book full of memorable characters."
-Elizabeth Kolbert, author of The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History
"What happens in India may turn out-even more than China-to be the key to the kind of environmental future the planet faces. Very few people are qualified to tell the story with as much clarity, compassion, and character-driven power as Meera Subramanian."
-Bill McKibben, author of Oil and Honey: The Education of an Unlikely Activist
