Description:Standing with such environmental classics as Loren EiseleyOCOs "The" "Immense Journey," his friend and mentor Aldo LeopoldOCOs "A Sand County Almanac," and Joseph Wood KrutchOCOs "The Voice of the Desert," Paul ErringtonOCOs "Of Men and Marshes" remains an evocative reminder of the great beauty and intrinsic value of the glacial marshland.

He then follows this wetland environment across seasons and over the years, creating a compelling portrait of a natural place too little appreciated and too often destroyed. Reminding us of the intricate relationships between the marsh and the animals who call it home, Errington records his experiences with hundreds of wetland creatures. He follows minks and muskrats, snapping turtles and white pelicans, red foxes and blue-winged tealsOCoall the while underscoring our responsibility to preserve this remarkable and fragile environment and challenging us to change the way we think about and value marshlands.aThis classic of twentieth-century nature writing, a landmark work that is still a joy to read, offers a stirring portrait of the MidwestOCOs endangered glacial marshland ecosystems by one of the most influential biologists of his day.
