"Gary White has provided us with a fascinating general history of Florida's environmental movement from Bartram to Nat Reed. Part environmental, and part conservation history, this book is both interesting and informative. White lends a journalistic flair to his subject and the reader will be rewarded with a brisk, entertaining, and well-written history." James M. Denham, Director of the Lawton M. Chiles Center for Florida History at Florida Southern College in Lakeland.
