Bol A world-leading ecologist's grand tour of the strangest and least understood of all Earth's landscapes A NEW YORK TIMES October New Books Pick and NEW SCIENTIST Best New Popular Science Book 2026 'Recasts bogs as the magical wonderlands that they secretly are' ED YONG 'Full of enchantment and drama' NEW YORK TIMES 'Rare and exciting' ANNIE PROULX Step into the unearthly world of bogs. Sink beneath the surface. In this sumptuous, fecund place, what wonders await you? This is a world with an ecology like no other, where amphibian-eating plants and acid-flinging mosses grow rampant. A realm of peat, laid down layer upon layer, preserving millennia of Earth's history. A dark, vertical landscape where the sheer abundance of carbon precariously locked away holds our very future in balance. Above all, bogs are places of paradox, where past meets present in the remarkably preserved artefacts and bodies entombed in their depths, land meets water in an otherworldly landscape, and safety meets danger for those who dare to venture into the heart of the bog. With renowned bog ecologist Merritt Turetsky as your guide, Boglands is an invitation to enter a beguiling landscape that will irrevocably change the way you see the natural world. 'An urgent call to save our remaining boglands' WALL STREET JOURNAL
