À propos du livre
The Cajun Prairie is 99.9 percent destroyed. However, the authors discovered remnants of this prairie habitat along railroad rights-of-ways in the 1980s and photographed these remnants during their years of investigation. More than 200 of these images are arranged into monthly displays in an effort to provide views of the prairie as it may have appeared in the 1800s. The remnants were each distinctive in their biodiversity, and each provided a splash of color from the blooming plants at different times of the year. These remnants are now decimated; thus these images are basically all that remains. An essay on the discovery of these remnants and the discoveries made while studying these remnants introduces and closes the monthly presentation of images.
