She stayed for twenty-one. The years covered by Monica Storrs's journal entries (1931-9) were at times unbearably hard, the depression compounding what was already a demanding existence. She and the group of women she lived with, the Companions of the Peace, were sent out as 'missionaries of empire.' As the journals progress, Storrs's droll British wit persists but her imperialistic attitude softens as her work draws her into the lives around her. Expanding on the initial mandate to start Sunday schools, foster contact with women, and perform church services, she became involved in assembling libraries, lending money for seed grain, financing medical assistance, and organizing theatrical performances and poetry contests. After her death even the non-British inhabitants of the Peace River district described her as 'one of us.'"--Jacket 606 $aFrontier and pioneer life$zPeace River Valley (B.C. and Alta.) 606 $aPioneers$zPeace River Valley (B.C. and Alta.)$vDiaries 606 $aPioneers$zPeace River Valley (B.C. and Alta.)$vCorrespondence 606 $aWomen pioneers$zPeace River Valley (B.C. and Alta.)$vDiaries 606 $aWomen pioneers$zPeace River Valley (B.C. and Alta.)$vCorrespondence 607 $aPeace River Valley (B.C. and Alta.)$xSocial life and customs 608 $aPersonal correspondence. 608 $aDiaries. 608 $aBiographies. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFrontier and pioneer life 615 0$aPioneers 615 0$aPioneers 615 0$aWomen pioneers 615 0$aWomen pioneers 676 $a971.18703092 700 $aStorrs$b Monica, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01574252 702 $aFast$b Vera K.$f1929- 702 $aKinnear$b Mary 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780688003321 996 $aCompanions of the Peace$93850398 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03044nam 2200709 a 450 001 9910971777003321 005 20250401210316.0 010 $a9786610739059 010 $a9781280739057 010 $a1280739053 010 $a9789062997961 010 $a9062997961 035 $a(CKB)1000000000334768 035 $a(EBL)309964 035 $a(OCoLC)173240786 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000289013 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12064980 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000289013 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10401189 035 $a(PQKB)11498931 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC309964 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL309964 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10505628 035 $a(OCoLC)750173845 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000334768 100 $a20020503d2002 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aApproaches to coastal wetlands restoration $eNorthern Gulf of Mexico /$fby R.

These wetlands occur in every GOM state, although two-thirds of the GOM total are in Louisiana, and are typically associated with estuaries, bays, rivers, and the lee-side of barrier islands. The objective of this book is to facilitate and encourage the restoration of these and other wetlands by reviewing the details of construction and costs (which can range from 1 to 45,000 per hectare), and by evaluating case studies for leve 606 $aWetland restoration 606 $aWetland ecology 606 $aWetland conservation 606 $aWetland management 606 $aRestoration ecology$zUnited States 607 $aAmerica, Gulf of 615 0$aWetland restoration. 615 0$aWetland ecology. 615 0$aWetland conservation. 615 0$aWetland management. 615 0$aRestoration ecology 676 $a333.91/8153 700 $aTurner$b R.
