This book was helpful for a personal project in thinking about bogs and imagination for some of my research. I wouldn't say it was a scientific book, but it was helpful information on how people have thought about bogs and these "thinner places" over time. The writing style is pretty flowery which I know isn't for everyone, but I really enjoyed the way the author things and writes about these subjects and her insights around them. I'd love to grab a cup of coffee with her someday. I enjoyed it.
