The Book of Swamp and Bog picks up where typical field guides leave off. Once you know a plant's name, you want to learn how it grows, why it prefers a certain habitat, and which animals depend on it for food and shelter. In nontechnical language and with the help of exquisite drawings, John Eastman describes 80 wetland plants, from alders to willows, and the wildlife communities associated with them. Requiring a bit more effort to explore than forests and meadows, wetlands invite slow travel, deep breathing, and attentiveness to one's step and surroundings. If your life has become too fast and distracted, take this book along on a visit to a bog or marsh. 237 pages.
