New focused text introduces readers to wetland ecosystems and systems approaches to studying wetlands With its comprehensive coverage of wetland science, management, and restoration, Mitsch and Gosselink's Wetlands has been the premier reference on wetlands for more than two decades. Now, the coverage of specific wetland ecosystem types from earlier editions of this acclaimed work has been updated, revised, and supplemented with additional content in order to create this new text focusing exclusively on wetland ecosystems. This book now complements Wetlands, Fourth Edition. Following an introduction to ecosystems in general and wetland ecosystems in particular, Wetland Ecosystems examines the major types of wetlands found throughout the world: coastal wetlands, freshwater marshes and forested swamps, and peatlands. The final chapter reviews three fundamental systems approaches to studying wetlands: mesocosms, full-scale experimental ecosystems, and mathematical modeling. This new text features: <ul>
<li>Updated descriptions of the hydrology, biogeochemistry, and biology of the main types of wetlands found in the world</li> <li> New content introducing general ecosystems, wetland ecosystems, whole ecosystem and mesocosm experiments with wetlands, and systems ecology and modeling </li> <li> A detailed description of the ecosystem services provided by wetlands </li> <li> A broad international scope, including many examples of wetlands located outside North America </li> <li> Two new coauthors offering new perspectives and additional insights into the latest ecosystem and modeling techniques </li> </ul>
An abundance of illustrations helps readers understand how different biological communities and the abiotic environment in wetland ecosystems interact and function. Tables and text boxes provide at-a-glance summaries of key information. Lastly, each chapter concludes with a list of recommended readings. This text has been designed as an introduction for students and professionals in wetland ecology and management, general ecology, environmental science, and natural resource management.

WETLANDS 
The definitive guide to wetlands for students and professionals alike 
Wetlands rank among the most productive but also the most vulnerable ecosystems. They break down toxins and help maintain aquatic ecosystems, provide both permanent and temporary homes for key species, and contribute enormously to biodiversity and global ecological health. In recent years the importance of wetlands has been increasingly well understood, and their management and restoration has become a particular focus of environmental research. 
Wetlands provides a thorough and comprehensive overview of wetlands, updated to reflect the latest research findings and methodological approaches, as it has done for more than a generation. The new edition has been optimized for classroom use, breaking down the topic into four parts: introduction to wetlands, the wetland environment, wetland ecosystems, and wetland management. 
Readers of the sixth edition of Wetlands will also find: A detailed discussion of the role of wetlands in improving water quality, protection from storm damage, and other ecosystem services The latest approaches and examples of wetland creation and restoration A thorough discussion of the impacts of climate change on wetlands, and how to mitigate them 
Wetlands is essential reading for students and professionals in ecology, environmental engineering, and water resource management.

Wetlands

Fennessy, M. Siobhan

General George Patton was one of the most successful generals of World War II and arguably one of America's greatest commanders. His army marched further and more quickly than any other Allied army during the 1944-45 campaign in Europe, and its contribution to the Allied victory was enormous. More than 100 photographs in this volume show what uniforms the American G.I.s who served under Patton wore, what weapons they had, and what equipment they carried, from their landing in France to the German surrender.
