Everglades

About This Book

The Florida Everglades is a unique ecosystem — nowhere else in the world can such an environment be found. Everglades tells the story of this living kaleidoscope of color and beauty: from its creation as a blue-green sea through its evolution to a miraculous river, the home of egrets, orchids, and alligators.

Favorite nature writer Jean Craighead George spins a mesmerizing tale about the birth and imminent destruction of the Florida Everglades, while Wendell Minor captures its lush beauty with powerful paintings.
