Overview

Award-winning naturalist Jim Arnosky and his wife, Deanna, are your guides in this fascinating-and thrilling-expedition to nine swamps, bogs, marshes and wet prairies. Feel the hair stand up on the back of your neck as you find yourself inches away from venomous snakes, or alone in a bog with an enormous bear. Admire the beauty of Victory, Vermont, where moose, beaver, and Rainbow Trout all make their home. Experience the dramatic cycle of life and death in a single day in the Everglades, where even the huge alligators finally become food for hungry vultures. And admire the delicate beauty of the Orb Weaver Spider's oval web in a Georgia marsh, glistening with tiny droplets of dew, each drop acting as a prism and breaking the light into tiny rainbows. Jim's luminous watercolors and pencil drawings bring these remote environments to life as we share his wonder at a swamp's deep and ancient sense of mystery.
