Beskrivning
Peatlands – bogs, fens and heaths – are part of the Irish soul. Neither water nor land and yet both, they were once considered gateways to the otherworld. Bleak and beautiful, they are time capsules that hold a record of history going back thousands of years. They supported Irish life for generations, providing fuel and employment, and are home to flora and fauna found nowhere else.Carsten Krieger, the author and photographer behind Wild Ireland, Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way and many other titles, celebrates the magic and mystery of our peatlands. He looks at the origin of these habitats, the often dark traditions associated with the Irish peatlands, and how we can maintain the delicate balance between man and nature into the future.

Recensioner i media

Writer-photographer Carsten Krieger weds the factual and magical in Ten Thousand Years Deep: The Story of Ireland’s Peatlands. Krieger’s stills – close-up tapestries of moss and heather, inky bog pools, dew droplets on cobwebs – conjure a sublime celebration. These are woven through detailed ecology, cultural analysis, and a cautionary future projection. For so long merely a byword for backwardness, redundancy, and even social inferiority, it is heartening to see these uniquely beautiful and irreplaceable ecosystems being championed, and in exquisite style too
