Once, the American Midwest was a maze of bogs and flooded pastures. Then
came the drainage ditch and the plough. Today this lost landscape has its
mourners and, in places, it is even being re-created. Historical geographer Hugh
Prince’s Wetlands of the American Midwest is as much about our attitudes to
wetlands as the wetlands themselves. Published by University of Chicago Press,
£15.95/$19.95, ISBN 0226682838.
