Fens, bogs, swamps, and marine estuaries are the earth's most desirable and dependable resources, and in four stunning parts, Proulx documents the long-misunderstood role of these wetlands in saving the planet. Taking us on a fascinating journey through history, Proulx shows us the fens of 16th-century England to Canada's Hudson Bay lowlands, Russia's Great Vasyugan Mire, America's Okeefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, and the 19th-century explorers who began the destruction of the Amazon rainforest. Along the way, she writes of the diseases spawned in the wetlands--the Ague, malaria, Marsh Fever--and the surprisingly significant role of peat in industrialization. A sobering look at the degradation of wetlands over centuries and the serious ecological consequences, this is a stunningly important work and a rousing call to action by a writer whose passionate devotion to understanding and preserving the environment is on full and glorious display"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6397118</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6397118</guid><category><![CDATA[LPRINT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Proulx, Annie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6397118109</comments><format>LPRINT</format><subtitle>A Short History of Peatland Destruction and Its Role in the Climate Crisis</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798885786232/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fen, Bog & Swamp]]></title><description><![CDATA[From Pulitzer Prize winner Annie Proulx - whose novels are infused with her knowledge and deep concern for the earth - comes an urgent and riveting history of wetlands, their ecological role and how the loss of them threatens the planet.

On the day she first visited, a cloud in the shape of a bird hung in the evening sky. She also saw pelicans, bald eagles, golden eagles, great blue herons, ravens, scores of bluebirds, harriers, kestrels, elk, deer and a dozen antelope. She fell in love with the land, then owned by the Nature Conservancy, and she knew what she wanted to build on it, a house in harmony with her work, her appetites and her character, a library surrounded by bedrooms and a kitchen. Her first work of nonfiction in more than twenty years, this book is the story of designing and constructing that house, with its solar panels, Japanese soak tub, concrete floor and elk horn handles on kitchen cabinets. It is also an enthralling natural history and archaeology of the region, inhabited for millennia by Ute, Arapaho and Shoshone Indians, and a family history, going back to nineteenth century Mississippi riverboat captains and Canadian settlers. The author here turns her lens on herself. We understand how she came to be living in a house surrounded by wilderness, with shelves for thousands of books and long worktables on which to heap manuscripts, research materials and maps, and how she came to be one of the great American writers of her time.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C4549831</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C4549831</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Proulx, Annie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4549831109</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Memoir</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780743288804/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[That Old Ace in the Hole]]></title><description><![CDATA["The novel ... is told through the eyes of Bob Dollar, a young Denver man trying to make good in a bad world.

Bound to a feudal lord, a 'seigneur', for three years in exchange for land, they suffer extraordinary hardship, always in awe of the forest they are charged with clearing, sometimes brimming with dreams of its commercial potential. Rene marries an Indian healer, and they have children, mixing the blood of two cultures. Duquet travels the globe and back, starting a logging company that will prosper for generations.

A lifelong environmentalist, Annie Proulx brings her wide-ranging research and scholarship to the subject of wetlands and the vitally important yet little understood role they play in preserving the environment--by storing the carbon emissions that greatly contribute to climate change. Fens, bogs, swamps, and marine estuaries are the earth's most desirable and dependable resources, and in four stunning parts, Proulx documents the long-misunderstood role of these wetlands in saving the planet. Taking us on a fascinating journey through history, Proulx shows us the fens of 16th-century England to Canada's Hudson Bay lowlands, Russia's Great Vasyugan Mire, America's Okeefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, and the 19th-century explorers who began the destruction of the Amazon rainforest. Along the way, she writes of the diseases spawned in the wetlands--the Ague, malaria, Marsh Fever--and the surprisingly significant role of peat in industrialization. A sobering look at the degradation of wetlands over centuries and the serious ecological consequences, this is a stunningly important work and a rousing call to action by a writer whose passionate devotion to understanding and preserving the environment is on full and glorious display.]]></description><link>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6717480</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S109C6717480</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Proulx, Annie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hclib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/6717480109</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle>A Short History of Peatland Destruction and Its Role in the Climate Crisis</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781797139890/MC.GIF&amp;client=hennp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
