Accompanied often by her husband, a mussel scientist, and her young children, she learned to see mussels on the creekbed, to tell a spectaclecase from a pigtoe, and to worry what vanishing mussels--70 percent of North American species are imperiled--will mean for humans and wildlife alike. Landis shares this journey, traveling from perilous river surveys to dry streambeds and into laboratories where endangered mussels are raised one precious life at a time. Mussels have much to teach us about the health of our watersheds if we step into the creek and take a closer look at their lives. In the tradition of writers like Terry Tempest Williams and Sy Montgomery, Landis gracefully chronicles these untold stories with a veterinarian's careful eye and the curiosity of a naturalist.--$cSource other than the Library of Congress. 517 3 $aScience and mystery of freshwater mussels 606 $aFreshwater mussels 606 $aFreshwater mussels$zSouthern States 606 $aStream ecology$zSouthern States 606 $aFreshwater biodiversity conservation$zSouthern States 606 $aFreshwater biodiversity conservation$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01736064 606 $aStream ecology$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01134567 607 $aSouthern States$2fast 615 0$aFreshwater mussels. 615 0$aFreshwater mussels 615 0$aStream ecology 615 0$aFreshwater biodiversity conservation 615 7$aFreshwater biodiversity conservation. 615 7$aStream ecology. 676 $a594/.4 700 $aGascho Landis$b Abbie$01248060 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910164895403321 996 $aImmersion$92892953 997 $aUNINA
