With its colorful coral reefs, excellent birding, and tropical temperatures, Florida remains a popular vacation spot for the ecologically minded. In this concisely detailed volume you'll become acquainted with the state's geologic origins, natural history, and diverse habitats (salt marshes, mangrove swamps, prairies, and woodlands). A field guide assists in the identification of some of the region's wildflowers, trees, fishes, amphibians, reptiles, butterflies, mammals, and birds, including the elusive manatee, three species of dolphin, and the rare snail kite. An extensive sampling of the area's best parks, preserves, beaches, forests, islands, and wildlife sanctuaries, with thorough descriptions and visitor information on 50 destinations, is also included. For instance, the section on Everglades National Park includes information on wildlife viewing possibilities, driving directions, and popular touring attractions inside the park (such as Shark Valley, where a 15-mile loop via foot, rental bike, or tram affords close views of alligators, anhingas, and wading birds). Lesser-known areas such as Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge and Withlacoochee State Forest are also featured. More than 1,300 color photographs heighten the quality of this handy compilation.

An extensive sampling of the area's best parks, preserves, beaches, forests, islands, and wildlife sanctuaries, with detailed descriptions and visitor information for 50 sites and notes on dozens of others.
The guide is packed with visual information--the 1,500 full-color images include more than 1,300 photographs, 14 maps, and 16 night-sky charts, as well as 150 drawings explaining everything from geological processes to the basic features of different plants and animals.

 Great book about stuff you will find in Florida! October 26, 1999
20 out of 22 found this review helpful
This book is helpful because it contains descriptions of plants and animals, all of which you can find somewhere in Florida. This makes it easier to find out what you are looking at. It would be nice if it were divided by characteristics, at least more than how it is. I still like it a lot. Points out subtle differences among very similar plants and animals.
Excellent Book August 23, 2004

I must admit that I would never buy a book like this on my own. Most of the time I find books like this to be a waste of money. I recieved this book as a gift, and I was awed at what a great reference book this was. I have been living in Florida for 14 years, and have seen plenty of wildlife. Now thanks to this book, I could tell you what the wildlife that I see is. The book has great color picture of all kinds of plants and animals, star charts, information on weather, Florida's environmental history, and a section on State and National parks. The state and national park section of the book was my only complaint though. It left out many of the parks that I find to be better than some of the ones that were listed. But other than that, the book is almost perfect!

This Book is portable and all-incluseive. I was happy to see the state's wonderful parks included.It's clearly divided into sections such as;Topography, Night Sky,Habitats,Weather,Invertebrates,and more..If you are not adverse to writting in books this is the book for it. Each time I spot a bird,a plant, a flower, a tree that is shown in the book I date the picture of it. It makes a good historical review of sightings.

As an amateur photographer and father of 2, I have found this book indispensible. It covers the full range of what we find in the field in one easy to carry guide. It is well organized, with nice, detailed photos for identification, with the species information right there with the photo--no cross referencing. It has helped to open up Florida's natural bounty to myself and my kids, and I would highly recommend it as a general field guide to FL.
This is a good beginning July 18, 2003

As a nature photographer and new to Florida this is what I needed, concise and accurate and small enough to fit into my camera bag this is an excellent book with well detailed sections, which make it easy to identify the wildlife. It also is a good read if you are intersted in Florida's wild life and ecology.
