Inhaltsangabe
Richard Nairn is an ecologist who has been visiting waterways around Ireland for over half a century, fascinated by how they enrich our lives. Here, he sets out to explore Ireland’s rivers, lakes, wet woodlands, ponds and canals, starting with the Avonmore River in his own county of Wicklow.From source to sea, Richard submerges himself in the wildlife, history and people connected to our waterways. Detailing encounters with dragonflies, dippers, otters and great flocks of migratory waterbirds, he finds himself awestruck by the sense of a lost wilderness he discovers.Historically, our waterways were treated with respect, yielding valuable resources vital to everyday life, but now they are under serious threat. Wild Waters is a love letter to Ireland’s rivers and lakes, a reminder of what we stand to lose, and a powerful case for the role that well-managed waterways can play in the future.

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Rivers and lakes are the arteries and beating heart of Ireland. To our ancestors these wetlands were their highways, providing valuable sources of food including fish and wildfowl as well as vital materials such as reeds for thatching and willows for basket-making. Today they supply us with drinking water and cleanse our waste, their energy is harnessed to provide power, they are vital habitats for many freshwater species, and they are treasured places for tranquillity and recreation. Here, in a unique mix of nature, history and personal experience, ecologist Richard Nairn explores and celebrates the rivers and lakes of Ireland. Beginning with the Avonmore River system which flows through some of the most picturesque parts of Co. Wicklow, Wild Waters reveals the magic of Ireland's rivers and lakes and contemplates the consequences for them as the rapid deterioration of our natural environment continues. Praise for previous books in this trilogy, Wild Woods and Wild Shores: 'His description moves me. An engaging and ambitious new book,' Michael Viney, The Irish Times.'This new book exploring our coastline can take us into places we would never have the time (or sea legs) to reach,' Catherine Cleary, The Irish Times.'A brilliant and timely odyssey around our precious, precarious shores,' Professor John Brannigan, College of Arts and Humanities, University College Dublin.'A great read - whatever part of the coast you visit,' Éanna ní Lamhna, environmentalist and author.'Well-researched and beautifully written. An absolute gem,' Zoe Devlin, Botanist and author of The Wildflowers of Ireland.'An exhilarating journey right around our coastline, melding a lifetime's conservation research with rich personal experience, enriched by a broad repertoire of historical and literary references, especially the work of Robert Lloyd Praeger, ' Paddy Woodworth, Journalist and author.
