Combine the emotional pull and myriad problems of nature management with the
unique archaeological potential of wetlands and you get Wetlands, Archaeology
and Nature Conservation, edited by Margaret Cos, Vanessa Straker and Douglas
Taylor (HMSO, £19.95, ISBN 0 11 300004 9). The intersection of ecological,
archaeological, political, legislative and economic factors, together with an
international range of case studies, make this an invaluable sourcebook. At last
we have a deeply informed yet readable account which illustrates the complex and
interdependent character of our natural and cultural heritage.
