Beschreibung

Professor William Mitsch's memoir shows through real and current examples from the field of environmental and wetland science, that personal and professional success depends on persistence and a refusal to compromise on "doing the right thing" which, for Professor Mitsch, meant saving some of the world's most important ecosystems.
