Product Description
Landscape photographer Ian Adams teams up with environmentalist Clay Henderson to explore the many Floridas that rub shoulders and bump heads inside the borders of the Sunshine State. Two hundred and eighty color photographs, closely supported by Adamss extended captions and Hendersons main text, take the reader on a grand tour of Floridas natural and cultural beauty spots: seashores, springs, forests, wetlands, prairies, gardens, groves, and man-made structures ranging from prehistoric shell mounds to the mansions and roadside attractions of the last century. Woven into the geographic fabric of the book are Hendersons authoritative essays on Floridas geology, hydrology, climate, wildlife, prehistory, history, population growth, immigration patterns, cracker culture, eccentric erections, notable naturalists, and battles royal among developers and environmentalists. Adams joins to every one of his photographs a deeply researched caption calculated to illumine and expand the main text.

 Interesting Florida Information July 15, 2008
The pictures and the information are wonderful. It's very interesting, especially being a new resident in Florida.
 The Splendor of Florida May 8, 2006

I just got a copy of this book last week and it is wonderful. The photos show dramatic and intimate views of the state's riches - from its natural resources to its varied architecture. Woven into the visual richness is a terrific narrative by a native son whose love of the state is clear but passionate. Everyone in my family has spent long sessions looking through the book remembering places we've been and others that we now must see.
