Finally a great book on an oft-ignored subject...! The other books I found on wetland are usually too academic or too focused on photos. Rezendes/Roy's book combines fantastic photographs (about 30% of them cover one-and-a-half page) with in-depth (but not dry) essays that capture my imagination and educate me on wetland environments. Most of us would most probably visit one or two famous wetlands in our lives such as the Everglades, and that's about it unless you are fortunate enough to live near one. This book gives you the opportunity to experience in technicolor the marshes of Massachusetts and Georgia; prairie potholes of North Dakota and Canada; shorelines of New England and Maine; and many more. It is not a book about dead tree-stumps and saw grass as you would have thought; it covers the human impact, the environmental care that should be given, and the importance of preserving these wetlands. Get this book, ogle at the photos and discover/understand (and perhaps help to care for) these fragile ecosystems.... You will be amazed at the biodiversity of the wetlands and you will understand why "The Web of Life" is given as the subtitle.
