Description

How people perceive wetlands has always played a crucial role in determining how people act toward them. In this readable and objective account, Hugh Prince examines literary evidence as well as government and scientific documents to uncover the history of changing attitudes toward wetlands in the American Midwest. Prince's book will appeal to a wide readership, ranging from geographers and environmental historians to the many government and private agencies concerned with wetland research, management, and preservation.
