NEW BOOK: Fen, Bog & Swamp: A Short History of Peatland Destruction and Its Role in the Climate Crisis by Annie Proulx From Pulitzer Prize winner Annie Proulx—whose novels are infused with her erudition and deep concern for the earth—comes an urgent and riveting history of wetlands, their ecological role and how their destruction threatens the planet. Wide-ranging and idiosyncratic, Proulx’s explanation of wetlands 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 and introduces the nineteenth-century explorers who launched the destruction of the Amazon rainforest. Fen, Bog & Swamp is both revelatory history and an urgent plea for wetland reclamation from a write whose passionate devotion to observing and preserving the environment is on glorious display.—from the publisher (Simon and Schuster)
