dog and farmland birds;
- grassland loss and conservation;
- the health of rivers and the water table;
- the effects of neonicotinoid insecticides on prairie wetlands;

Illustrated with elegant black-and-white line drawings and maps, this
award-winning tome continues to be a highly readable guide to
understanding the ecology, geological history, biodiversity, and
resilience of the prairies.
