"The Floridas" features 320 color photographs by Ian Adams, each supported by an extended caption, of Florida's natural and cultural beauty spots: seashores, springs, forests, wetlands, prairies, gardens, groves, and man-made structures ranging from prehistoric shell mounds to the mansions and roadside attractions of the last century. The main text by Clay Henderson contains chapters on Florida's geology, hydrology, climate, wildlife, prehistory, history, population growth, immigration patterns, cracker culture, eccentric erections, notable naturalists, and battles royal among developers and environmentalists.
