Description
Fens, bogs and swamps are the earth's most desirable and dependable resources. Pulitzer Prize winner Annie Proulx brings her witness and research to their vitally important role in preserving the environment, and their systemic destruction in the pursuit of profit. Travelling from sixteenth-century England to America's Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, Proulx reveals a history that is both revelatory and urgent. Her book is an exploration of the importance of these ecosystems and the devastating impact of human activity on them. A call to action for wetland reclamation, Fen, Bog and Swamp is a thought-provoking and deeply researched work that sheds light on a critical issue affecting our planet.
