Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The swamplands of southwest Florida are a hauntingly beautiful, complex, and delicate environment. Yet, like much of our country's wilderness at the beginning of the 21st century, it is threatened by a burgeoning population and uncontrolled growth. With color photographs, quotations, poetry, scientific information, and the authors' personal experiences, Florida's Unsung Wilderness: The Swamps highlights the diversity and beauty of this unique ecosystem and works to inspire readers to become involved in its preservation.

About the Author
Authors Connie Bransilver and Larry Richardson, who bring years of exploration and study to this project, hope that by sharing their knowledge they can help protect one of our last true wildernesses-the swamplands of Florida. With a foreword by Jane Goodall, this book brings attention not only to the crisis of habitat destruction in Florida's swamps, but also the rest of the earth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Florida's Unsung Wilderness : The Swamps, October 16, 2000
This visually stunning book is a delight to the eyes and a splendour to the mind. The authors' wide experience and long hours in the swamps shows in the exquisite color photographs; their love of the place - a tropical jungle in our own United States - shines through. They manage to convey both through the pictures and through the educational and prosaic text the uniqueness, diversity and splendour of this wondrous ecosystem. This book is a must-read for children as well as for adults, for all people who want to know more - and we all should - about the importance of the Florida swamps. This book allows us to appreciate our own wilderness, both because of the beauty reflected in the photos and because of the vast amount of information explained in a down-to-earth manner. And while it is not a prescription book for saving the threatened swamps, it is a springboard from which the reader can try to do something to help save them. Their message: it is only when you know something that you can love it and only if you love it will you save it. You can almost feel the water slowly trickling by as you pass your eyes over the images, and hear the owls calling to each other. Truly splendid.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Masterpiece!, October 28, 2000
By Michael Modzelewski (Northern Everglades, FL) - See all my reviews
Bransilver & Richardson have created a masterpiece! They are to be commended for brilliantly portraying one of the most challenging natural ecosystems to study: Swamps. Their talent and dedication shines on every page! The wildlife shots are superb -- much more than just documentary renderings. All the flora and fauna here, large and small, are revealed in soulful essence. If this book alone isn't reason(s) to save the dazzling natural wealth of the Everglades and other threatened wetlands then Man is morally bankrupt. Bravo Bransilver and Richardson. You help us see with new eyes!!
