Download or read book The Marsh Builders written by Sharon Levy and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-17 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Swamps and marshes once covered vast stretches of the North American landscape. The destruction of these habitats, long seen as wastelands that harbored deadly disease, accelerated in the twentieth century. Today, the majority of the original wetlands in the US have vanished, transformed into farm fields or buried under city streets. In The Marsh Builders, Sharon Levy delves into the intertwined histories of wetlands loss and water pollution. The book's springboard is the tale of a years-long citizen uprising in Humboldt County, California, which led to the creation of one of the first U.S. wetlands designed to treat city sewage. The book explores the global roots of this local story: the cholera epidemics that plagued nineteenth-century Europe; the researchers who invented modern sewage treatment after bumbling across the insight that microbes break down pollutants in water; the discovery that wetlands act as efficient filters for the pollutants unleashed by modern humanity. More than forty years after the passage of the Clean Water Act launched a nation-wide effort to rescue lakes, rivers and estuaries fouled with human and industrial waste, the need for revived wetlands is more urgent than ever. Waters from Lake Erie and Chesapeake Bay to China's Lake Taihu are tainted with an overload of nutrients carried in runoff from farms and cities, creating underwater dead zones and triggering algal blooms that release toxins into drinking water sources used by millions of people. As the planet warms, scientists are beginning to design wetlands that can shield coastal cities from rising seas. Revived wetlands hold great promise for healing the world's waters.
Book Synopsis How to Walk in the Marsh by : Chad Adams
Download or read book How to Walk in the Marsh written by Chad Adams and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-10-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James Guillory Jr. narrates this inspirational tale about leveraging the values his father instills in him and leaning on his roots to overcome adversity. On his first ever hunting excursion as a young boy, James takes an uncalculated step in the delicate South Louisiana marsh that becomes the catalyst for a metaphor used by his dad which foreshadows his life: there's an art to navigating the marshland, and the steps you take while on your journey can cause you to either sink or swim. Through their many adventures together, James' dad helps him to recognize and learn that with a respect and appreciation for the outdoors, important lessons can be found, and an unwavering bond woven full of love and admiration between father and son can be had. Just as James becomes a young man who starts to understand his own life's meaning, an unexpected moment happens that leaves him faced with sudden and drastic change. Left to question everything about what he has learned and what he can become, James ventures away from the life he was taught to live, but at his lowest moment he finds a glimmer of hope. Through a sign that sends him back to where it all began, he embarks down a path of understanding, and he learns that the true reason to finally knowing how to walk in the marsh will lead him to a rekindled life full of meaning and purpose.

Book Synopsis The Marsh Arabs by : Wilfred Thesiger

Book excerpt: “Five thousand years of history were here and the pattern was still unchanged.” During the years he spent among the Marsh Arabs of southern Iraq, Wilfred Thesiger came to understand, admire and share a way of life that had endured for many centuries. Travelling from village to village by canoe, he won acceptance by dispensing medicines and treating the sick. In this account of his time there, he pays tribute to the hospitality, loyalty, courage and endurance of the people, describes their impressive reed houses, the waterways and lakes teeming with wildlife, the herding of buffalo and hunting of wild boar, moments of tragedy and moments of pure comedy, all in vivid, engaging detail. Untouched by the modern world until recently, these independent people, their way of life and their surroundings suffered widespread destruction under the regime of Saddam Hussein. Wilfred Thesiger's magnificent account of his time spent among them is a moving testament to their now threatened culture and the landscape they inhabit.
