Films and TV have made the Florida Everglades the most famous wetlands in the
world, a primeval wonder of habitat and wildlife, preserved, inviolable. But
Hollywood lies. Such is the drainage and exploitation of the area, mostly for
sugar-growing, that, 鈥渂arring restoration, the death of the Everglades is near
at hand鈥�. Gloomy words from David McCally, the author of The Everglades.
There is hope for the unique swamps, but not much. Published by University
Press of Florida, 拢31.95, ISBN 0813016487.
