Freshwater marshes are found throughout the United States and in many countries around the world. And in every marsh, there is an opportunity to view dozens of species of animal life. Written in a rhyming cumulative style like The House that Jack Built, At the Marsh in the Meadow portrays the wetlands food chain, showing how all forms of life, from the mud at the bottom of the marsh to the birds in the sky, are directly connected to their marsh home. Author Jeanie Mebane has worked with the National Park Service and U. S. Forest Service, and has lived near or worked at marshes from Florida to Arizona and Alaska.

Bless. The French president who sent troops to Rome in 1849 was Louis Napoleon, not Cavaignac, and Mussorgsky's birthplace Karevo is 250 miles south-east of St Petersburg, not south-west (which would place it in Latvia).
Overall there is a lot of useful biographical information in this book, but I felt that Steen fell into the same trap as Bill Bryson did when writing about scientists in his recent " Short History of Nearly Everything", that of writing about famous men with insufficient reference to what they
