~A history of our most endangered ecosystem An Environmental History David McCally
This important work for general readers and environmentalists alike offers the first major discussion of the formation, development, and history of the Everglades, considered by many to be the most endangered ecosystem in North America. Comprehensive in scope, it begins with south Florida's geologic origins—before the Everglades became wetlands—and continues through the 20th century, when sugar reigns as king. "Readers don't have o be environmentalists to enjoy this detailed and lively environmental history of the Everglades. Those interested in anthropology, geology, and American history will also find much to fascinate them as McCally traces the ecosystem's development from its geologic origins through the first human habitation to today's threats by development. McCally successfully re-creates the past but also offers insight into future environmental issues concerning the Everglades."—Library Journal

~Visions of a utopian Florida Beechers, Stowes, and Yankee Strangers The Transformation of Florida John T. Foster and Sarah Whitmer Foster
Modern Florida--a world of
tourists, retirees from the North, and novel agricultural
crops--began among a group of Yankee reformers at the end
of the Civil War, including Harriet Beecher Stowe, author
of Uncle Tom’s Cabin, and her brother,
Charles, who lived in Florida between 1867 and 1885. This
book tells the story of the group--and their designs for
a postwar Florida--with the action, atmosphere, and
insight of a good novel.

~New in Paperback! Harriet Beecher Stowe
Introduction by Mary B. Graff and Edith Cowles In 1867, the author of Uncle Tom's Cabin settled in a small cottage in Mandarin, Florida, overlooking the St. Johns River. She had promised her Boston publisher another novel but was so taken with northeast Florida that she produced instead a series of sketches of the land and the people which she submitted in 1872. Stowe describes life in Florida
in the latter half of the 19th century--"a tumble-down, wild, panicky kind of life--this
general happy-go-luckiness which Florida
inculcates." Her idyllic sketches
