In Search of Swampland

In Search of Swampland introduces readers to the ecology and natural beauty of the wetlands, one of our most important natural resources. It provides an overview of wetland ecology with emphasis on factors important to wetland identification and recognition. Designed for readers with little or no training in wetland science, this heavily illustrated field guide serves as a valuable resource for the scientist or amateur naturalist.

First sentence: For centuries, the terms "swampland" and "marshland," or simply "swamps" and "marshes," have been used interchangeably by most people to refer to wet, soggy ground.
