Imagine yourself trekking into a hammock, slogging through a swamp, floating down a river, strolling along a beach, hovering over a coral reef, or probing the depths of an underwater cave. You’ll discover how everything from soils, rocks, water, and landforms shape flora and fauna—and vice versa.

Much of Florida has been bought and sold many times over, but this book makes clear how its value truly has no pricetag.
