Reed Environmental Writing Award, and the NEIBA 2023 New England Book Award*From Pulitzer Prize winner Annie Proulx, this riveting deep dive into the history of our wetlands and what their systematic destruction means for the planet is both an enchanting work of nature writing and a rousing call to action (Esquire).I learned something newand found something amazingon every page. Anthony Doerr, author of All the Light We Cannot See and Cloud Cuckoo LandA lifelong acolyte of the natural world, Annie Proulx brings her witness and research to the subject of wetlands and the vitally important role they play in preserving the environmentby storing the carbon emissions that accelerate climate change. Fens, bogs, swamps, and marine estuaries are crucial to the earths survival, and in four illuminating parts, Proulx documents their systemic destruction in pursuit of profit.In a vivid and revelatory journey through history, Proulx describes the fens of 16thcentury England, Canadas Hudson Bay lowlands, Russias Great Vasyugan Mire, and Americas Okeefenokee National Wildlife Refuge. She introduces the early explorers who launched the destruction of the Amazon rainforest, and writes of the diseases spawned in the wetlandsthe Ague, malaria, Marsh Fever.A sobering look at the degradation of wetlands over centuries and the serious ecological consequences, this is an unforgettable and unflinching tour of past and present, fixed on a subject that could not be more important (Bill McKibben).A stark but beautifully written Silent Springstyle warning from one of our greatest novelists.
