Fen, Bog and Swamp

Fens, bogs, swamps and marine estuaries are the earth's most desirable and dependable resources, and here Proulx documents the emergence of their systemic destruction in the pursuit of profit. Both a revelatory history and an urgent plea for wetland reclamation, Proulx 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.
