520    Stéphen Rostain's book is a culmination of 25 years of 
       research on the extensive human modification of the 
       wetlands environment of Guiana and how it reshapes our 
       thinking of ancient settlement in lowland South America 
       and other tropical zones. Rostain demonstrates that 
       populations were capable of developing intensive raised-
       field agriculture, which supported significant human 
       density, and construct causeways, habitation mounds, 
       canals, and reservoirs to meet their needs. The work is 
       comparative in every sense, drawing on ethnology, 
       ethnohistory, ecology, and geography; contrasting island.
