The Wild Mississippi

Bag om The Wild Mississippi

"The Mississippi River is an American icon, yet few of us really understand the river's fundamental essence-its natural world. One quarter of North American fish species are native to the Mississippi. Over three hundred species of birds migrate along the Mississippi River. The river's wetlands, prairies, and bluffs support mammals and insects. Diverse plant communities thrive because of the river. From its beginnings in northern Minnesota down to the Gulf of Mexico, Dean Klinkenberg details the Mississippi's natural history and its modern recreational opportunities. Dean begins with the major ecosystems along the Mississippi River, exploring plant and animal life and illustrating how its varies from north to south. He shows readers where to engage with the river's stunning natural wonders, primarily through public lands that are open to all, with particular emphasis on where to hike, paddle, and bike along the Mississippi. He also highlights natural history museums and aquariums, and points readers to communities that offer options for food and lodging. Packed with vibrant photos and useful maps, the book is the best source for understanding and enjoying this iconic and historic river"--
