Wetland Habitats is a practical and easy to use manual for wetland restoration and conservation of diverse animal species. Covering all the recent work in this field; among other significant issues it discusses making the most of dams and created wetlands; reversing the effects of drainage; grazing; weirs; deteriorating water quality; and associated algal problems; captive breeding and reintroduction; and controlling weeds and vermin. The book describes a range of potential problems encountered during restoration efforts and approaches to dealing with them; so that readers will be able to make informed decisions about wetlands on their own properties. It also explains how to set realistic targets for wetland restoration as well as longer-term goals for management; and includes colour photographs of diverse wetland habitats and the animals that rely on them.The examples draw on a wide range of wetland animals including some which arenrsquo;t often found in wetlands on private properties; but the primary emphasis is on the ecology; interactions and management of species and other aspects of management that will be of most use to landholders with wetlands in need of rejuvenation.

Review
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Not a starting point and not a general overviewBy stpaul2010This covers a few specific areas of 16th century music. such as modes. solfege. and other theory. with discussions on the aesthetics of reading independent lines from part books. There is also an interesting chapter on what was expected of musicians of the time. but little else on the day-to-day experience of musicians. As the title suggests. it is mostly theoretical in subject matter.These areas are all thoroughly and academically discussed. But it assumes you are already familiar with music of the time. and know the basics of how it was performed. Do not start here if you know little about early music.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. 16th-Century Music in Theoretical Detail!By SueGraceMore than good. this book is an excellent summary for those who can stick to it. I would suggest it as a college reference book for upper-division and graduate students in early music.4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. An essential book on the philosophy of musicianship for ALL MUSICIANSBy P. H. BloomAnne Smiths book is an urgently needed manifesto concerning the universal art of musicianship. Each of her explications of Renaissance musical arcanae is beautifully rendered. Much more that a performance practice tutor. its a treatise on aesthetics. Im deeply impressed by her approach. her eloquence. her well reasoned conclusions. and her avoidance of the usual musicological dogma. The transcendence of her scholarly method is likely too subtle for many to notice. but her practical info is of universal value.
