The 2nd book is titled "The Swamp" and it is about the everglades, Florida, and the Politics of Paradise. Another great book about the history of Florida, the draining of the Everglades, and the restoration of the everglades. It also talks about the killing fields of rookeries and I know there are a lot of people attached to this forum who love to photograph birds. I could go on for a long time about this book and will just encourage everyone to read these books. Reading both of these books really has taught me a lot and opened my eyes even further.
Our greatest resource is fresh water and we need to protect that. A lot of people do not think about water and how we get it, most think it is a never ending supply and when we turn on the tap it should just be there. Since I am in the waterworks industry I really get to see what happens first hand and how much water we are wasting and destroyed. If anyone has read either of these books please let me know your thoughts and if you have any other books you read please share them with me. I think it is really important for everyone to understand how are water systems work because for the most part the water is underground in leaking water lines and valves and since it is underground it is out of sight out of mind. Anyways if you read this whole thread thank you and please if you have any insight or questions please share them. I am not a native to Florida but this is my home and I love this state and want to see it remain beautiful because my children will be natives to it.
Lastly there is another great book to read for the West Coast (California) people named "Cadillac Desert" by Marc Reisner that really touches upon the water issues and dames on the West Coast our of country where fresh, clean drinking water is a major issue.
