The Everglades: River of Grass (Hardcover)

by Marjory Stoneman Douglas (Author)

Florida, the nation, and the world owe so much to Marjory Stoneman Douglas -- if she had not taken up the cause of the Everglades, and expressed their plight in such a memorable way, the awesome and unique Glades could already be gone. This book, therefore, is not only a delightful thing to read on its own terms; it is one of the greatest examples of the power of committed literature to transmit and inspire commitment in others. Marjory Stoneman Douglas literally changed the world for the better, and continues to do so, speaking from the page to every person who looks into this wonderful book.
