Reviews
YA. Carefully selected photos give readers a look at the full range of wetland environments?bottomlands, swamps, mires, prairie potholes, mud flats, and wet meadows, among others. The cutlines provide plant identification, explication, and other pertinent detail. The text is rich in scientific lore and history and the format makes even full pages of text look airy. The authors leave no doubt about the diversity of life found within wetland systems as well as their critical role in the environmental health of surrounding plant and animal populations, including human. Although there is no index, the sections are divided into major wetland ecosystems with an emphasis on their interplay.?Cynthia J. Rieben, W. T. Woodson High School, Fairfax, VA
