Fens, bogs, swamps, and marine estuaries are the earth's most desirable and dependable resources, and in four stunning parts, Proulx documents the long-misunderstood role of these wetlands in saving the planet. Taking us on a fascinating journey through history, Proulx shows us the fens of 16th-century England to Canada's Hudson Bay lowlands, Russia's Great Vasyugan Mire, America's Okeefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, and the 19th-century explorers who began the destruction of the Amazon rainforest. Along the way, she writes of the diseases spawned in the wetlands, the Ague, malaria, Marsh Fever, and the surprisingly significant role of peat in industrialization. 650 0 $a Peatland ecology. 650 0 $a Peatland management. 650 0 $a Climatic changes. 650 0 $a Audiobooks. 700 1 $a Zackman, Gabra, $e narrator. 941 $a 3 945 $a cdab 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010025341.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230203015757.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20221102014414.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=30954F805A7611ED87E8DDB93EECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
