Destruction is usually a poor trade-off: well-managed wetlands in Louisiana are producing fortunes in seafood and timber. This book examines the value of swamps and marshes, as well as the threats against them. It takes the reader to some of the world's most bizarre landscapes like the 'inland delta' of the Niger River in drought-stricken Mali.
