NY, Macmillan, 1957. A paean to wetlands, from a time when "of the more than 120 million acres of marshes and swamps originally lying within our boundaries, less than a fourth remain fit for waterfowl and other marsh life." This copy is inscribed by Errington to renowned Life photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt, "with admiration and good wishes," in Ames, Iowa, in 1961. Near fine in a very good dust jacket with modest foxing to the rear panel and a couple of edge chips, most noticeably at the upper edge of the front panel (not affecting any text or the illustration).
