Fall Book Highlight

Florida Springs

From Geography to Politics and Restoration

 

By Christopher F. Meindl


“Provides a good synthesis of existing knowledge and past works about springs, telling a timely story of what we know about—and have tried to do for—Florida springs to date. This is a very useful and important story.”—Jason Evans, executive director, Stetson University Institute for Water and Environmental Resilience  


Florida is home to over 1,000 freshwater springs, natural wonders that have drawn people to enjoy and interact with them over the course of millennia. This book provides a clear and comprehensive overview of the geography, history, science, and politics of the springs, informing readers about the deep past and current issues facing these treasures of the Florida landscape.
