Lifelong environmentalist Annie Proulx brings passion, vitality and rigour to a history of our wetlands. Exploring their history alongside human interactions with these liminal places, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of 'The Shipping News' and 'Brokeback Mountain' makes an elegant and compelling contribution to the debate around the environmental crisis.

Politics, commerce and climate change collide as Proulx looks at the English Fens.
