I guess it's official (gulp).  I received my copies of:

The Sierra Club Wetlands Reader: a literary companion.
Edited by Sam Wilson and Tom Moritz
San Francisco, Sierra Club Books, 1996. (ISBN:0-87156-425-4 (pbk.) )
(Sells for $15 (US).)

The book is a somewhat eclectic anthology of fiction and non-fiction excerpts
which tries to provide evidence of the range of attitudes
about North American wetlands.

Should be suitable for natural history
collections or collections which focus on the environment or environmental
history.

One interesting feature is that we included a thread from an
Internet ecology LIST discussing the definition of wetlands...

Thanks to my CAS colleagues and to my friends in libraries in Canada and
the U.S. who provided encouragement and support... Tom
