From Eden To Sahara

Plot

Botanist John Kunkel Smalls "From Eden to Sahara:Floridas Tragedy" is a classic in the environmental literature of Florida as it warned of the dangers of dredging and draining as early as 1929. The reprint of this prophetic book includes updated forewords by award winning nature author and filmmaker Bill Belleville and scientists Dr. Jay Exum and Randy Mejeur, as well as a valuable annotated glossary and many a Smalls original photos. Out of print since its first edition, "Floridas Tragedy" is a seminal book that is required reading for all who would understand how Florida has long sought to tame its unique natural landscape. It also provides an invaluable time capsule in which a trained botanist records a Florida that no longer exists
