It's an older book but I believe it still stands the test of time. Streever takes a good look at how to Save Louisiana wetlands. I believe he does a good job of looking at the problem of wetlands loss from all angles. It is very well written and easy to read.
This book is very informative about both the science and the politics of coastal wetlands. It's engagingly written (neither preachy nor obtusely academic), and it raises some fascinating questions not only about what to think but about how to think. Substantive. Entertaining. Mercifully short chapters, each of which could be read as a stand-alone if necessary. A real gem. (It was published in 2001, before Katrina or the BP oil spill. It does not seem at all dated, but be aware that it doesn't address those events.)
This book came in just in time for my class and it is a great piece of literature!
