Wetlands are the ecotonal or transitional zones between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems where the water table is usually at or near the surface of the land, which is covered by the shallow water (Mitsch & Gosselink, 1986). Due to these characteristics, wetlands provide opportunities for adaptations to different plant and animal species with high diversity of life-forms. Thus wetlands are among the most biologically diverse and...

In questo saggio appassionato, che si legge come un vibrante manifesto, Antonino Zichichi smentisce tale contrapposizione e la ribalta: "Non esiste...
