The Everglades Handbook: Understanding the Ecosystem

The Everglades Handbook: Understanding the Ecosystem

by Thomas E. Lodge

  • NATURAL HISTORY
  • 2004
  • PAPER

An accident of geography, the Florida peninsula extends from the North American temperate zone south to the Caribbean tropics. The ecosystem the Everglades shelters is unique -- a complex mosaic of habitats all dependent on underground water. Lodge describes in detail the environments, plants and animals, along with conservation challenges. The book is a comprehensive introduction.  (EGL02, $56.95)
