Stewart, Western Washington University, author of 'What Nature Suffers to Groe': Life, Labor, and Landscape on the Georgia CoastThis important work for general readers and environmentalists alike offers the first major discussion of the formation, development, and history of the Everglades, considered by many to be the most endangered ecosystem in North America.
