Florida's rivers comprise a tapestry of natural wonders. They support rich ecosystems. They define the landscape and lend character to the regions through which they pass. The first half of this book provides an overview of Florida's waterways, while the second half provides detailed information on 60 of Florida's rivers, covering each one from source to end. From the Blackwater River in the western Panhandle to the Ichetucknee and Kissimmee Rivers in central Florida to the Miami River in south Florida, it traces the flow of these streams as they weave through cypress swamps, pine-studded hills, and hardwood hammocks. It introduces plants and animals endemic to each. This book also takes the reader on a journey through time. It tracks the history of Florida's rivers, from the dawn of the Paleoindians through the Spanish conquest to the present. It traces human efforts to confine and harness these waters. Finally, it looks at conservation and examines efforts to preserve Florida's rivers and return them to their natural states.

"Florida's Amazing Silver River" is a photographic essay of one of Florida's natural wonders... the Silver River. This visual exploration is done through the medium of black and white photographic art. The book celebrates and memorializes the Silver River, which literally gushes out of the earth from the Silver Springs underground artesian wellspring located just east of Ocala, Florida. It historically produces over half a billion gallons of crystal clear, cool water each day. The river which flows from this spring head is a lush, pristine stretch of natural beauty and wildlife that is a rare treasure. Another special treat contained in "Florida's Amazing Silver River" are five pages showing the rhesus monkeys that can be spotted along the riverbank. They have descended from a group of monkeys which were introduced as a park attraction in the 1930's. "Florida's Amazing Silver River" also includes a practical map which details the access points to the Silver River. "Florida's Amazing Silver River - One of Florida's Natural Wonders" is the first edition of the series "Florida's Natural Wonders". It is 44 pages, 8 1/2 x 11 inches, and soft cover.
