Requests:  0 Summary:  "Fens, bogs, swamps and marine estuaries are the earth's most desirable and dependable resources, and in four illuminating parts Proulx documents the emergence of their systemic destruction in the pursuit of profit. Wide-ranging and idiosyncratic, Proulx's explanation of wetlands takes readers to the fens of sixteenth-century England, Canada's Hudson Bay Lowlands, Russia's Great Vasyugan Mire and America's Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge and introduces the nineteenth-century explorers who launched the ravaging of the Amazon rainforest. Proulx was born in the 1930s, a time, as she says, when "in the ever-continuing name of progress, Western countries busily raped their own and other countries of minerals, timber, fish and wildlife." Fen, Bog & Swamp is both a revelatory history and an urgent plea for wetland reclamation from a writer whose passionate devotion to observing and preserving the environment is on glorious display."-- Publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Nonfiction 577.687 Pr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 577.687 Pr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 577.687 Pr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 577.687 Proulx Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 577.687 Pr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 577.687 Pr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 577.687 Pr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 577.687 Pr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 577.687 Pr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 577.687 Pr Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
