"A Florida Quincentennial Book"--Title page verso.
The Earth's surface is mostly oceans, the human body is 60% water, and the human imagination has been captivated by this life-giving, life-sustaining liquid. Bill Belleville guides you on a lyrical journey to the natural places in Florida and the Caribbean that have been forged and shaped by water. He poetically underscores the vitality of this most essential substance in our lives by showing the many ways in which water-driven landscapes nurture plants, wildlife, and the human spirit.
