The Florida Keys : The Natural Wonders of an Island Paradise - Softcover

Natural history writer and photographer Ripple and adventure travel photographer Keogh have combined their talents to produce a factual and photographic journey through the Florida Keys. Their work focuses on the ecology of the Keys and the natural and human threats to the survival of plant and animal life on these islands. The authors detail life among the coral reefs, mangrove forests, wetlands, pinelands, beaches, hardwood hammocks, and nearshore habitats of the keys; they stress the importance of maintaining an ecological balance to preserve the wildlife, which in turn affects the economy and quality of life in the Keys. Thoroughly researched and filled with outstanding photographs, this work is recommended for anyone concerned about Florida's environment.?Lucille Corbo, MLS, Scranton, Pa.
