An Everglades Providence: Marjory Stoneman Douglas and the American Environmental Century

摘要

Author Jack Davis describes his biography of Marjory Stoneman Douglas as "two books in one"-both an environmental history of Florida and a biography of Marjory Stoneman Douglas-but this magnum opus far surpasses his modest description. Everglades Providence could easily serve as the sole text for a comprehensive smorgasbord for any intelligent reader to consume-besides environmental history and biography, it encompasses many aspects of fine scholarship: literary analysis, Florida history, gender history, and urban history, to name a few themes.
