Description
Ireland is famous - or notorious - for its wet and mild climate. Because on average more water precipitates than evaporates, the island is rich in wetlands - marshes, swamps, fens, bogs, lagoons, floodplains and wet meadows, to name but a few. Many place names in Ireland refer to wet places.
Words derived from the Irish language are used to refer to a particular type of wetland, such as callows for the floodplains of the River Shannon, or turlough for a type of ephemeral wetland found almost exclusively in Ireland.
Wetlands of Ireland: Distribution, Ecology, Uses and Economic Value brings together specialists in wetland science discussing a wide range of topics from an Irish perspective. These topics include the ecology, fauna, vegetation and distribution of various types of wetlands; the use of wetlands for wastewater management; the archaeology of wetlands; and protection and conservation.
It is intended for a wide audience of wetland enthusiasts - not just for professionals, but also for those who through their hobbies have a passion for those wet and wild places.

The Irish Times highlighted its unique focus on wetlands and their economic value, stating it answers the question of what wetlands are 'good for'. Sherkin Comment described it as "easy to understand and a wonderful present for a family," recommending it for libraries, policymakers, and local authority planners concerned with conservation.
