"A textual edition of Candace Savage's acclaimed and beautifully written guide to the ecology of the prairies, now revised and updated. This revised edition of Prairie features a new preface along with updated research on the effects of climate change on an increasingly vulnerable landscape. It also offers new information on: conservation of threatened species, including the black-tailed prairie dog; grassland loss and conservation; the health of rivers and the water table; the effects of neonicotinoid insecticides on prairie wetlands; the benefits of regenerative agriculture. Illustrated with elegant black-and-white line drawings and color maps, this award-winning tome continues to be a highly readable guide to understanding the ecology, geological history, biodiversity, and resilience of the prairies. Published in partnership with the David Suzuki Foundation."-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

As an aside, my favorite chapter title, "Where is Here," is the lead chapter in the book; I thought it was the story of my life. The chapter sets the scene and gives some overview of the book.
Prairie is supplemented extensively by maps, bibliography, sketches and quite striking, lovely photographs by (mostly) James R. Page. A book to enjoy and refer to many times. ( )
