1 author picked One Day at Teton Marsh as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Published in 1957, this book is hard to findābut itās a gem, especially for anyone who likes tromping around wetlands as much as I do.
Carrighar shows how disruption cascades through a pond ecosystem when a storm damages a beaver dam and how all the creatures living there struggle to adapt.

From Kristin's list on The best books about interconnection in natureāand yes, we humans are part of it.
