This Tender Place: The Story of a Wetland Year
|
This Tender Place is a celebration of nature, the elements,
and humanity. From the wetland's genesis during the ice age to
its survival in the twenty-first century, Lawlor chronicles the
universal ties among people, wild places, and healthy wetlands.
An engaging and deeply intimate record, This Tender Place
is at its heart a story of refuge and renewal refracted through
the lens of life within wetlands-among the most productive, yet
most endangered, ecosystems in the world.
