Description

"How did Wetland Science develop and become a discipline of its own? This relatively new field of scientific inquiry began taking shape in about 1980 when the Society of Wetland Scientists was formed. However, many academic, government, and consulting scientists had been in the field under different names for decades. "History of Wetland Science: Perspectives from Wetland Leaders" captures the early development of the science through short autobiographical essays written by those early wetland forefathers and adds developmental context in essays written by the succeeding generation of wetland leaders. The stories are fascinating and bring to light the childhood, educational years, and career development of highly revered scientists - things you would never have known about some of the legends of the science, including hardships, career changes, AHA ! moments, and realizations that "I am a wetland scientist."--Amazon's website.
