Louisiana is one of the most beautiful parts of North America. It offers much more than Mardi Gras and Bourbon Street. With 25 maps and 60 illustrations, this is the first book to introduce the full range of wild places in Louisiana. Certainly the state’s magnificent swamps are described, but Louisiana showcases a great diversity of natural habitats— prairies, longleaf pine savannas, oak forests, Appalachian forest, river valleys, cliffs, sand dunes, and cheniers. Each has its distinctive plant and animal species. Frogs living in trees, fish digging burrows, pelicans nesting on offshore islands and plants eating insects, as well as wild orchids, dwarf palmettos, armadillos, and… Some of the author’s favorite places to visit are highlighted and he describes the challenge of conserving wild places for the enjoyment of future generations. The book is titled for the water that carries the earth that builds Louisiana, and the fires that create the prairies, pine forests, and savannas. If you own only one book about Louisiana nature, this is the one to have— a perfect gift for student, tourist, hunter, or neighbor.

“This is an impressive guide to the magical and bountiful world of Louisiana nature, and an excellent primer in why we should save it—not only for the sake of pelicans and woodpeckers and tupelos, but for the sake of ourselves.”

            —Michael Grunwald, author of The Swamp: The Everglades, Florida and the Politics of Paradise

When was the last time to your recollection that you had bottled water in one hand and a glass of tap water in the other and chose the tap water? Chances are that has not happened in your life. Even in modern cities such as Los Angeles, Sydney, New York, London or Tokyo, most citizens will dare not drink the tap water? Why? Any number of reasons will suffice. But the fact is that even in these cities where "water quality" should be at its best, it´s not. Now just imagine living in places where water really is bad, not just considered bad tasting. How often do you boil your drinking water? Never? Exactly. Enjoy your journey through disturbing facts, colorful art and a mythical story that, if we aren´t careful, just may become more fact than fiction.

Dragon Hunting contains a blueprint for the world to begin mitigating the effects of possible sea-level rise now. In effect, the blueprint contained in the Dragon Hunting book is a Global Insurance Policy looking for a global customer. While the sea-level rise controversy is still dogged by disagreement within the various scientific disciplines of the world, this Dragon Hunting book is definitely not designed to resolve it. Rather, this Dragon Hunting book says that most of us do not think twice in taking out many kinds of insurance over our lives, over the lives of our spouses, over our personal property, over our homes, to protect our incomes in case of unexpected job loss, and for many other purposes. Do we not take out insurance because of the very nature of uncertainty? So why should it be any different for our earth? It seems there is a growing number of scientists that point to a building body of evidence suggesting that sea-level rise could become a reality. The Dragon Hunting book says, among other things, that if we do not have any ‘Magic Wand’ technologies available to us at the time that the sea-level does in fact rise, then we need to do something about mitigating the effects now. The blueprint contained within this book is an holistic one. Therefore, in order to mitigate the effects of sea-level rise now, we need to look to the world’s vast expanses of deserts. We also need to address looming population pressures that threaten our ever increasingly fragile world. We also need to address out-moded political issues in order for us to progress as a civilisation into the fourth millennium. In short, we need to put a whole host of things to rights before we can be absolutely sure that we may mitigate the effects of sea-level rise due to global warming. In effect, the Dragon Hunting book creates a new possible future for humankind should we not be able to develop the requisite ‘Magic Wand’ technologies that we may need, if the sea-water begins to lap at the doorsteps of our coastal towns and our coastal cities. If that is all that the Dragon Hunting book is destined to do, then it has been a hard, but immensely rewarding task that has been done.
